This study surveyed 15 Boston area hospitals in order to assess the existence and nature of maternity leave policies at these institutions. In addition, it examined attitudes of administrators, program directors, and residents regarding pregnancy in women residents. Sixty-six percent of the hospitals surveyed had written policies specific to maternity leave. Interview responses indicated that the medical environment continues to discourage pregnancy during residency. These results suggest that although maternity leave policies are becoming more commonplace, they frequently fail to be clearly defined and may not be written specifically or exclusively for maternity. These factors may contribute to the ongoing lack of acceptability of pregnancy during residency.
本研究调查了波士顿地区的15家医院，以评估这些机构产假政策的存在情况及性质。此外，研究还考察了行政人员、项目主任和住院医师对女性住院医师怀孕的态度。接受调查的医院中有66%制定了专门的产假政策。访谈结果表明，医疗环境仍然不鼓励住院医师在培训期间怀孕。这些结果表明，尽管产假政策越来越普遍，但它们往往定义不明确，可能并非专门或唯一针对产假制定。这些因素可能导致住院医师培训期间怀孕仍不被普遍接受的现状。
