Gender diversity in health teams is associated with better productivity. As women's participation in surgery has been growing, it is important to improve knowledge about the elements that guide their professional development.
The aim of this study was to outline the demographic and professional features of female vascular surgeons in Brazil.
A cross-sectional study was designed, in which a questionnaire was made available online for 60 days. Invitations to participate were distributed by institutional e-mail sent from the Brazilian Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery (SBACV) to associate women surgeons. Results are presented as numbers and percentages. Odds ratios and chi-square tests were used for analysis.
From a total of 810 invitations sent out, 281 questionnaires were completed. The most prevalent age groups were 25-35 years (n = 115) and 36-45 years (n = 114). Among those who worked exclusively in the private sector, 79.8% had at least one board certification (OR: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.65-0.89; p = 0.001). Regarding workload distribution, 64.4% and 34.2% reported that they spend more time in the clinic and hospital, respectively. Respondents with more years of experience reported a predominance of office practice (p = 0.002). Although 67.3% (n = 189) had published scientific papers, 68% (n = 191) had never held leadership roles.
The study respondents consisted of highly qualified women surgeons with respect to training, certification, and scientific engagement, but they remain underrepresented in professional management positions. Surgical societies and health institutions should act to promote inclusive and diverse leadership.
医疗团队中的性别多样性与更高的生产力相关。随着女性参与外科手术的比例不断增加，了解指导其职业发展的因素变得尤为重要。
本研究旨在概述巴西女性血管外科医生的人口统计学和专业特征。
设计了一项横断面研究，通过在线问卷的方式进行为期60天的调查。邀请由巴西血管病学和血管外科学会（SBACV）通过机构电子邮件发送给女性外科医生协会成员。结果以数字和百分比形式呈现。使用优势比和卡方检验进行分析。
共发出810份邀请，收到281份完整问卷。最常见的年龄组为25 - 35岁（n = 115）和36 - 45岁（n = 114）。在仅在私立部门工作的人中，79.8%至少拥有一项专业认证（优势比：0.76，95%置信区间：0.65 - 0.89；p = 0.001）。关于工作量分配，64.4%和34.2%的受访者分别表示他们在诊所和医院花费的时间更多。经验更丰富的受访者表示主要从事门诊工作（p = 0.002）。虽然67.3%（n = 189）发表过科学论文，但68%（n = 191）从未担任过领导职务。
研究受访者在培训、认证和科研参与方面都是高素质的女性外科医生，但在专业管理职位上的代表性仍然不足。外科协会和卫生机构应采取行动促进包容性和多元化的领导。
