Although the number of women entering the medical profession has increased, this has not led to an even distribution in all branches of medicine. In countries where the health service is mainly private, there are still fewer female radiologists, especially at managerial level. The aim of this paper is to make a comparison of work-related stress, satisfaction and perceived organizational justice in male and female radiologists in Italy.
Italian radiologists were asked to answer an anonymous questionnaire during two successive national radiology Congresses.
Women reported a psychophysical workload that was the same as that of their male colleagues, but claimed that they had less control over their work, made a greater effort to fulfill job requirements, were more over-committed in their work and received fewer rewards for the work performed than their male colleagues. On account of the lack of procedural, distributive and informative justice, women radiologists perceived the work environment as significantly less fair compared to their male colleagues. Moreover, they derived less satisfaction from their job. They suffered from anxiety, depression and minor psychiatric disorders to a greater extent than their male counterparts.
Despite the significant number of women radiologists in Italy, the gender gap still exists and can be witnessed in horizontal and vertical segregation. Policies should be introduced to contrast gender bias.
尽管越来越多的女性进入医学领域，但这并没有导致医学各分支领域的性别分布均衡。在以私营医疗服务为主的国家，女性放射科医生仍然较少，尤其是在管理层。本文旨在比较意大利男女放射科医生的工作相关压力、满意度和感知组织公平。
意大利放射科医生在连续两届全国放射学大会期间被要求回答一份匿名问卷。
女性报告的心理生理工作量与男性同事相同，但她们表示对工作的控制较少，为满足工作要求付出了更多努力，工作投入程度更高，工作表现得到的回报也比男性同事少。由于程序、分配和信息公正的缺乏，与男性同事相比，女性放射科医生认为工作环境明显不公平。此外，她们对工作的满意度较低。与男性相比，她们更容易焦虑、抑郁和出现轻微的精神障碍。
尽管意大利有相当数量的女性放射科医生，但性别差距仍然存在，并且可以从横向和纵向隔离中看出。应该引入政策来对抗性别偏见。
