There are no available data concerning gender equity and workplace mistreatment within the field of oncology in Brazil. The Brazilian Society of Clinical Oncology (Sociedade Brasileira de Oncologia Clínica [SBOC]) performed a survey study to present and discuss this subject and gain insights into strategies that would mitigate gender inequities.
A 24-question survey in Portuguese, assessing demographics, professional context, achievements, workplace mistreatment, parenthood, and gender balance in the workplace, was developed and administered by the SBOC Women's Leadership Committee. SBOC members were invited to participate by e-mail.
Among the 2,125 SBOC members, 146 women (72%) and 56 men (28%) participated in the survey. Approximately 87.5% of men versus 65.5% of women believed that they had equal rights ( < .002) at their workplace. Chiefs of oncology departments were more often men than women (30.4% 13.7%, < .006). Furthermore, 60.8% of men versus 85.1% of women ( = .0003) believed that a specific workplace guideline regarding gender equity should exist. Only 29.5% of women versus 98.2% of men ( < .0001) believed that they did not experience gender discrimination throughout their careers. Approximately 50% of women versus 21% of men reported experiencing moral harassment at work ( = .0002), whereas 24% of women and 7% of men reported sexual harassment ( = .005). Multivariable logistic regression confirmed the significant results of univariable analysis when adjusted for age group and holding a department chief position.
Our data show an alarming level of sexual and moral harassment and gender inequity experienced by SBOC members, highlighting the urgent need for programs to address these situations.
在巴西肿瘤学领域，尚无关于性别平等和职场虐待的可用数据。巴西临床肿瘤学会（Sociedade Brasileira de Oncologia Clínica [SBOC]）开展了一项调查研究，以呈现和讨论这一主题，并深入了解可减轻性别不平等的策略。
SBOC女性领导力委员会编制并实施了一项包含24个问题的葡萄牙语调查问卷，评估人口统计学、职业背景、成就、职场虐待、为人父母情况以及职场性别平衡。通过电子邮件邀请SBOC成员参与。
在2125名SBOC成员中，146名女性（72%）和56名男性（28%）参与了调查。约87.5%的男性和65.5%的女性认为他们在工作场所拥有平等权利（P <.002）。肿瘤学部门负责人中男性比女性更为常见（30.4%对13.7%，P <.006）。此外，60.8%的男性和85.1%的女性（P =.0003）认为应该存在关于性别平等的特定工作场所指导方针。只有29.5%的女性和98.2%的男性（P <.0001）认为他们在整个职业生涯中未经历过性别歧视。约50%的女性和21%的男性报告在工作中遭受过道德骚扰（P =.0002），而24%的女性和7%的男性报告遭受过性骚扰（P =.005）。在对年龄组和担任部门负责人职位进行调整后，多变量逻辑回归证实了单变量分析的显著结果。
我们的数据显示SBOC成员遭受的性骚扰和道德骚扰以及性别不平等程度令人担忧，凸显了针对这些情况开展相关项目的迫切需求。
