To investigate racial and gender-specific microaggressions that are experienced by pediatric otolaryngologists at work.
An anonymous web-based survey consisting of 18 questions was sent to American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology (ASPO) members via an email link. The survey included questions from the Workplace and School Microaggressions component of the Racial and Ethnic Microaggressions (REM) Scale.
125 out of 610 ASPO members completed the survey for a response rate of 20.5%. 28% of respondents reported experiencing a racial/ethnic microaggression in the last six months. Respondents who identified as Asian American Pacific Islander had significantly higher REM scores when compared with Caucasian respondents (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in scores when comparing the other Race categories. Female respondents reported significantly higher gendered-microaggression scores compared to those identifying as male (p < 0.001). 66% of female respondents experienced some form of gender-based microaggression in the last six months.
By providing evidence that pediatric otolaryngologists continue to report experiences of discrimination in the form of microaggressions, this study aims to increase awareness and inspire a more inclusive work environment.
调查儿科耳鼻喉科医生在工作中所经历的种族和性别特定的微侵犯。
通过电子邮件链接向美国儿科耳鼻喉科协会（ASPO）成员发送了一份包含18个问题的匿名网络调查问卷。该调查包括来自种族和族裔微侵犯（REM）量表中工作场所和学校微侵犯部分的问题。
610名ASPO成员中有125人完成了调查，回复率为20.5%。28%的受访者报告在过去六个月中经历过种族/族裔微侵犯。与白人受访者相比，认同为亚裔美国太平洋岛民的受访者的REM得分显著更高（p<0.05）。比较其他种族类别时，得分没有显著差异。女性受访者报告的性别微侵犯得分显著高于男性受访者（p<0.001）。66%的女性受访者在过去六个月中经历过某种形式的基于性别的微侵犯。
本研究通过提供证据表明儿科耳鼻喉科医生继续报告以微侵犯形式存在的歧视经历，旨在提高认识并激发更具包容性的工作环境。
