The objective of the study was to analyze all orthopedics residency programs of Argentina and determine:1)The proportion of females; 2) Social and demographics differences between genders: 3) The factors that influence positively or negatively in female decision to choose orthopedics.
An observational and descriptive study was carried out in two phases. First phase: analyze the database of the “Argentine Orthopedic Association during the period 2016-2017. Second phase: a survey was developed and sent to all the orthopedic residents focus on demographics, social and job preferences questions.
A total of 933 residents were included for analysis. 121 (13%) were female and 812 (87%) were male. We got back 259 survey responses. We found statistically significant differences in terms of marriage or in union: female (16%) vs male (42 %) (p< 0.001); paternity (23.3%) vs maternity (4.5%) (p< 0.001). We observed that female mainly prefer pediatrics, foot and ankle and hand, while the primary choice of men is arthroplasty and arthroscopy. Focus on women analysis, the three main reasons that led them to choose the orthopedics residency program were: avidity for manual work (59%), personal desire (56%) and positive experience in orthopedics during the university (56%). The negative factors that influence female to choose an orthopedic training program are mainly related with the idea of physical demand and a male predominant work environment. In Argentina, women represent only 13% of all the orthopedics residents and this number is similar to other international reports.
本研究的目的是分析阿根廷所有骨科住院医师培训项目，并确定：1）女性所占比例；2）性别之间的社会和人口统计学差异；3）对女性选择骨科产生积极或消极影响的因素。
进行了一个分为两个阶段的观察性和描述性研究。第一阶段：分析2016 - 2017年期间“阿根廷骨科协会”的数据库。第二阶段：设计了一项调查问卷，并发送给所有骨科住院医师，重点是关于人口统计学、社会和工作偏好的问题。
共有933名住院医师纳入分析。121名（13%）为女性，812名（87%）为男性。我们收到了259份调查问卷回复。我们发现，在婚姻状况或伴侣关系方面存在统计学显著差异：女性（16%）与男性（42%）（p < 0.001）；陪产假（23.3%）与产假（4.5%）（p < 0.001）。我们观察到，女性主要偏好儿科、足踝和手部领域，而男性的主要选择是关节置换术和关节镜检查。聚焦女性分析，导致她们选择骨科住院医师培训项目的三个主要原因是：对手工工作的热爱（59%）、个人意愿（56%）以及大学期间在骨科的积极经历（56%）。影响女性选择骨科培训项目的负面因素主要与体力需求的观念以及男性主导的工作环境有关。在阿根廷，女性仅占所有骨科住院医师的13%，这一数字与其他国际报告相似。
