To describe the incidence of infertility, pregnancy complications, and breastfeeding practices among Australian and New Zealand doctors and identify factors associated with increased pregnancy complication rates.
A survey of ANZ doctors using an online questionnaire during November 2021.
One thousand ninety-nine completed responses were received. The median age of female doctors at the time of their first child was 32.4. Fertility testing was undertaken by 37%, with 27% having fertilization. More than 60% of respondents delayed family planning due to work. Pregnancy loss occurred in 36% of respondents, and 50% suffered a pregnancy complication. There were significant differences between specialists, with surgeons working longer hours before and after pregnancy, but having greater access to maternity leave than general practitioners.
Female doctors delay starting and completing their family due to work-related demands and structural biases in career progression, which may result in higher infertility and pregnancy complication rates.
描述澳大利亚和新西兰医生的不孕发生率、妊娠并发症及母乳喂养情况，并确定与妊娠并发症发生率增加相关的因素。
2021年11月通过在线问卷对澳新医生进行调查。
共收到1099份完整回复。女医生生育头胎时的中位年龄为32.4岁。37%的人进行了生育能力测试，其中27%成功受孕。超过60%的受访者因工作推迟计划生育。36%的受访者发生过流产，50%遭遇过妊娠并发症。专科医生之间存在显著差异，外科医生在孕期前后工作时间更长，但比全科医生享有更多产假。
由于工作需求和职业发展中的结构性偏见，女医生推迟组建家庭和完成生育，这可能导致更高的不孕率和妊娠并发症发生率。
