There is little information on gender related problems in medicine from a point of view of the male anesthesiologists.
A questionnaire was sent in January 2001 to 300 male anesthesiologists. The questionnaire asked for information on personal and professional demographics, gender inequity, and family responsibility.
Of the 186 responding male anesthesiologists (62.0% response rate), 62.4% of them felt a gender inequity. They felt a gender inequity the most in family responsibility (40% of them). In contrast, those who felt a gender inequity in working ability and promotion were small in number (4.1%, 14.1%, respectively). More than 80% of male anesthesiologists agreed on the need of consideration about night-duty for the female anesthesiologists. On the other hand, 66.7% of them felt that taking place of the female anesthesiologists was a burden on them.
More than half of male anesthesiologists felt a gender inequity especially in family responsibility. In addition, it is impressive that most of male anesthesiologists were unaware of gender inequity in promotion in face of the fact that the number of the female professors was very small. Systemic effort is required to grapple with gender inequity problems to change the social organization in the field of medicine.
从男性麻醉医生的角度来看，关于医学中性别相关问题的信息很少。
2001年1月向300名男性麻醉医生发放了一份问卷。该问卷询问了个人和职业人口统计学、性别不平等以及家庭责任方面的信息。
在186名回复的男性麻醉医生中（回复率为62.0%），62.4%的人感到存在性别不平等。他们在家庭责任方面感受到的性别不平等最为强烈（占40%）。相比之下，在工作能力和晋升方面感到性别不平等的人数较少（分别为4.1%和14.1%）。超过80%的男性麻醉医生同意需要考虑女性麻醉医生的夜班问题。另一方面，66.7%的人认为替代女性麻醉医生对他们来说是一种负担。
超过一半的男性麻醉医生感到存在性别不平等，尤其是在家庭责任方面。此外，令人印象深刻的是，尽管女教授的数量非常少，但大多数男性麻醉医生并未意识到晋升方面的性别不平等。需要做出系统性的努力来应对性别不平等问题，以改变医学领域的社会组织。
