The purpose of the study was to understand the attitudes of surgical advanced practice providers (APPs) towards parental leave for themselves and surgical trainees.
APPs in a single department of surgery (DOS) were surveyed. The survey evaluated 1) personal experience with parental leave, 2) experience with surgical trainees taking parental leave and 3) attitudes towards parental leave.
University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus; level 1 Trauma Center.
All surgical APPs were invited to participant in the study. There was a total of 65 respondents.
Survey response rate was 34.0% (N = 65). 81.5% (N = 53) of respondents were married or in domestic partnership. 56.9% (N = 37) of respondents had children and 16.0% (N = 11) took parental leave within the DOS. 58.5% (N = 38) of respondents worked with a trainee who took parental leave for which 19 APPS were asked to cover additional work. 21.5 % (N = 14) of respondents reported that time off for parental leave for childbearing surgical trainees places an unreasonable strain on APPs. Almost all (96.9%, N = 63) APPs reported childbearing surgical trainees should receive 6 to 12 weeks or >12 weeks of parental leave.
APPs are often asked to cover for surgical trainees taking parental leave. Nonetheless, APPs are supportive of trainees taking leave.
本研究旨在了解外科高级实践提供者（APPs）对自身及外科住院医师育儿假的态度。
对单一外科科室的APPs进行调查。该调查评估了：1）育儿假个人经历；2）外科住院医师休育儿假的经历；3）对育儿假的态度。
科罗拉多大学安舒茨医学校区；一级创伤中心。
邀请了所有外科APPs参与研究。共有65名受访者。
调查回复率为34.0%（N = 65）。81.5%（N = 53）的受访者已婚或处于同居伴侣关系。56.9%（N = 37）的受访者育有子女，16.0%（N = 11）在该外科科室休过育儿假。58.5%（N = 38）的受访者与休育儿假的住院医师共事，其中19名APPs被要求承担额外工作。21.5%（N = 14）的受访者表示，生育子女的外科住院医师休育儿假给APPs带来了不合理的负担。几乎所有（96.9%，N = 63）APPs都认为生育子女的外科住院医师应享有6至12周或超过12周的育儿假。
APPs经常被要求顶替休育儿假的外科住院医师工作。尽管如此，APPs支持住院医师休假。
