The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of sexual harassment as defined by the AMA among female family practice residents in the United States. Of all 1,802 U.S.FP female resident physicians surveyed, a total of 916, or 51%, completed a survey of which 32% reported unwanted sexual advances, 48% reported use of sexist teaching material, 66% reported favoritism based on gender, 36% reported poor evaluation based on gender, 37% reported malicious gossip, 5.3% reported punitive measures based on gender, and 2.2% reported sexual assault during residency. Thirty two percent of respondents reporting sexual harassment experienced negative effects including poor self-esteem, depression, psychological sequelae requiring therapy, and in some cases, transferring training programs. Sexual harassment is a common occurrence among family practice residents during residency training. Further studies are needed to examine the effect of sexual harassment policies instituted by the American Graduate Council on Medical Education on the prevalence of sexual harassment in medical training since the time of this study.
本研究的目的是确定美国女性家庭医学住院医师中美国医学协会（AMA）所定义的性骚扰的发生率。在接受调查的1802名美国女性家庭医学住院医师中，共有916人（51%）完成了一项调查，其中32%报告遭遇过不必要的性侵犯，48%报告接触过性别歧视的教材，66%报告受到基于性别的偏袒，36%报告因性别而受到不佳评价，37%报告遭遇恶意流言蜚语，5.3%报告受到基于性别的惩罚措施，2.2%报告在住院医师培训期间遭受性侵犯。报告遭受性骚扰的受访者中有32%受到了负面影响，包括自尊受损、抑郁、需要接受治疗的心理后遗症，在某些情况下还包括转至其他培训项目。性骚扰在家庭医学住院医师的住院医师培训期间很常见。自本研究开展以来，需要进一步研究以考察美国医学研究生教育委员会制定的性骚扰政策对医学培训中性骚扰发生率的影响。
