The promotion of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is increasingly sought after in healthcare, which is why we wanted to draw up a picture of DEI in radiation oncology and give some ideas on how to contribute to its dissemination.
This article proposes a non-exhaustive review of the international literature on DEI in radiation oncology, both among health professionals and patients. In addition, this review identifies some implicit cognitive biases and proposes strategies to address them.
Most of the proposed publications identify a lack of DEI among radiation oncology staff and document inequities in access to high-quality radiotherapy affecting patients belonging to minority groups.
Significant disparities exist between genders and ethnic groups within the radiotherapy teams, and in the radiotherapy treatment of patients. Nevertheless, DEI is gaining importance, and a range of initiatives and instruments are being developed to address these disparities.
医疗保健领域越来越追求促进多元化、公平性和包容性(DEI),这就是我们想要描绘放射肿瘤学领域的DEI情况并就如何促进其传播提出一些想法的原因。
本文对放射肿瘤学领域关于健康专业人员和患者的DEI的国际文献进行了非详尽综述。此外,本综述识别了一些隐性认知偏见并提出了解决这些偏见的策略。
大多数所提议的出版物指出放射肿瘤学工作人员中缺乏DEI,并记录了少数群体患者在获得高质量放射治疗方面存在的不公平现象。
放疗团队内部以及患者的放疗治疗中,不同性别和种族群体之间存在显著差异。然而,DEI正变得越来越重要,并且正在制定一系列举措和手段来解决这些差异。
