BACKGROUND/AIMS: An orthopaedic department requires good teamwork and communication to function. This is undermined by bullying and harassment, which may affect the victim's health and career.
A 26-item questionnaire was sent to all delegates who registered for a free orthopaedic webinar teaching series via email and social media. This study includes the responses from all those who had worked in a UK orthopaedic department.
There were 168 respondents from varying backgrounds; 17.9% had experienced bullying or harassment in their orthopaedic department, while 36.3% had witnessed it. Women and people from ethnic minority backgrounds suffered 10.2% and 6.9% higher rates of bullying than their male or white counterparts respectively.
The results demonstrate that despite attempts to reduce bullying in orthopaedics, it remains prevalent, and particularly affects women and those from ethnic minority backgrounds. Orthopaedic departments must adapt to reflect changes in society.
背景/目的：矫形外科部门需要良好的团队合作和沟通才能运作。欺凌和骚扰破坏了这一点，可能会影响受害者的健康和职业。
通过电子邮件和社交媒体向所有通过注册免费矫形外科研讨系列网络研讨会的代表发送了一份包含 26 个问题的问卷。本研究包括所有在英国矫形外科部门工作过的人的回复。
共有 168 名来自不同背景的受访者；17.9%的人在矫形外科部门经历过欺凌或骚扰，而 36.3%的人曾目睹过这种情况。女性和少数族裔背景的人遭受欺凌的比例分别比男性或白人高 10.2%和 6.9%。
结果表明，尽管矫形外科领域一直在努力减少欺凌现象，但它仍然普遍存在，尤其会影响女性和少数族裔背景的人。矫形外科部门必须适应社会的变化。
