Residency occurs for most physicians during the childbearing years. As residents face demanding work schedules, the training experiences may be further stressed by parenthood. There is a perception that residents who take parental leave are less academically productive.
We obtained the names of anesthesia residents from Mayo Clinic graduating classes of 2016 to 2021. Google Scholar, EMBASE, and PubMed were used to search for publications by the names of residents. Gender and leave of absence data for each resident during residency were identified. A set of logistic regressions was used to examine leave from work related to the residents' publication outcomes.
Of the 149 residents included in the study, 49 (32.9%) took parental and 19 (12.75%) took other types of extended leave (≥ 5 days). Those who took parental leave did not differ in likelihood of being published compared with those who took other types of extended leave ( = .066) or no leave ( = .447). No relationship was found between taking parental leave with total number of publications, first author publications, second author publications, or original research publication after controlling for gender, graduation year, or total number of days of leave.
Taking parental leave did not adversely affect scholarly output among anesthesiology residents at a single multi-site institution.
大多数医生的住院医师培训阶段正值育龄期。由于住院医师面临繁重的工作安排，育儿可能会使培训经历面临更大压力。有一种观点认为休育儿假的住院医师学术产出较低。
我们获取了梅奥诊所2016年至2021年毕业班级麻醉科住院医师的名单。利用谷歌学术、EMBASE和PubMed以住院医师姓名搜索出版物。确定了每位住院医师在住院医师培训期间的性别和休假数据。使用一组逻辑回归分析来研究与住院医师发表成果相关的工作休假情况。
纳入研究的149名住院医师中，49名（32.9%）休了育儿假，19名（12.75%）休了其他类型的长假（≥5天）。休育儿假的住院医师与休其他类型长假的住院医师（P = 0.066）或未休假的住院医师相比，发表论文的可能性没有差异（P = 0.447）。在控制性别、毕业年份或休假总天数后，未发现休育儿假与论文发表总数、第一作者论文、第二作者论文或原创研究论文之间存在关联。
在单一多地点机构中，休育儿假对麻醉科住院医师的学术产出没有不利影响。
