摘要
IntroductionWomen-identifying emergency physicians face gender-based discrimination throughout their careers. The purpose of this study was to explore emergency physician's perceptions and experiences of gender equity in emergency medicine.MethodsWe conducted a secondary analysis of data from a previously conducted survey of Canadian emergency physicians on barriers to gender equity in emergency medicine. Survey responses were analyzed using logistic regression to determine the impact that gender, practice setting, years since graduation, race, equity-seeking status, and parental status had on agreement about gender equity in emergency medicine and five of the problem statements.ResultsA total of 710 participants completed the survey. Most identified as women (58.8%), white (77.4%), graduated between 2010 and 2019 (40%), had CCFP (Emergency Medicine) designation (47.9%), an urban practice (84.4%), were parents (62.4%) and did not identify as equity-seeking (79.9%). Women-identifying physicians were less likely to perceive gender equity in emergency medicine, OR 0.52, CI [0.38, 0.73]. Women-identifying physicians were more likely to agree with statements about microaggressions, OR 4.39, CI [2.66, 7.23]; barriers to leadership, OR 3.51, CI [2.25, 5.50]; gender wage gap, OR 13.46, CI [8.27, 21.91]; lack of support for parental leave, OR 2.85, CI [1.82, 4.44]; and education on allyship, OR 2.23 CI [1.44, 3.45] than men-identifying physicians.ConclusionIn this study, women-identifying physicians were less likely to perceive that there was gender equity in emergency medicine than men-identifying physicians. Women-identifying physicians agreed that there are greater barriers for career advancement including fewer opportunities for leadership, a gender wage gap, a lack of parental leave policies to support a return to work and a lack of education for men to become allies. Men-identifying physicians were less aware of these inequities. Health systems must work to improve gender equity in emergency medicine and this will require education and allyship from men-identifying physicians. IntroductionLes femmes medecins urgentistes sont confrontees a une discrimination fondee sur le sexe tout au long de leur carriere. L'objectif de cette etude etait d'explorer les perceptions et les experiences des medecins urgentistes en matiere d'equite entre les sexes en medecine d'urgence.MethodesNous avons procede a une analyse secondaire des donnees d'une enquete menee precedemment aupres des medecins urgentistes canadiens sur les obstacles a l'equite entre les sexes en medecine d'urgence. Les reponses au sondage ont ete analysees a l'aide d'une regression logistique pour determiner l'incidence que le sexe, le milieu de pratique, les annees ecoulees depuis l'obtention du diplome, la race, le statut de demandeur d'equite et le statut parental avaient sur l'accord sur l'equite entre les sexes en medecine d'urgence et cinq des enonces de probleme.ResultatsAu total, 710 participants ont repondu a l'enquete. La plupart d'entre eux sont des femmes (58.8 %), de race blanche (77.4 %), ont obtenu leur diplome entre 2010 et 2019 (40 %), ont le titre de CCMF (medecine d'urgence) (47.9 %), exercent en milieu urbain (84.4 %), sont parents (62.4 %) et ne se declarent pas en quete d'equite (79.9 %). Les medecins s'identifiant a des femmes etaient moins susceptibles de percevoir l'equite entre les sexes en medecine d'urgence, OR 0.52, IC [0.38,0.73]. Les medecins s'identifiant comme femmes etaient plus susceptibles d'etre d'accord avec les declarations sur les microagressions, OR 4.39, IC [2.66, 7.23] ; obstacles au leadership, OR 3.51, IC [2.25, 5.50] ; ecart salarial entre les hommes et les femmes, OR 13.46, IC [8.27, 21.91] ; le manque de soutien pour le conge parental, OR 2.85, IC [1.82, 4.44]; et l'education sur l'alliance, OR 2.23 IC [1.44, 3.45] que les medecins s'identifiant comme hommes.ConclusionDans cette etude, les medecins s'identifiant a des femmes etaient moins susceptibles de percevoir qu'il y avait une equite entre les sexes en medecine d'urgence que les medecins s'identifiant a des hommes. Les femmes medecins s'accordent a dire qu'il existe davantage d'obstacles a l'avancement professionnel, notamment moins d'opportunites de leadership, un ecart salarial entre les hommes et les femmes, un manque de politiques de conge parental pour favoriser le retour au travail et un manque d'education des hommes pour qu'ils deviennent des allies. Les medecins s'identifiant a des hommes etaient moins conscients de ces inegalites. Les systemes de sante doivent s'efforcer d'ameliorer l'equite entre les sexes dans la medecine d'urgence, ce qui necessitera une formation et un allie de la part des medecins qui s'identifient aux hommes.
