Objective: Although women comprise nearly half of medical school graduates globally, female orthopedic surgeons in many countries, including Turkey, represent less than 10% of all orthopedists. However, the number of female orthopedic residents is increasing in Turkey. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess and compare the experiences of female orthopedic surgeons in Turkey with their male counterparts, focusing on workplace challenges and surgical inclinations.
Methods: A survey was conducted among 110 age-matched orthopedic surgeons (54 females, 56 males). Of the 81 female orthopedic surgeons in Turkey, 54 participated in the study. The demographic data, career satisfaction, experiences of mobbing, surgical interests, and dynamics with colleagues were examined. Ethical approval was obtained.
Results: The study included residents and specialists with a mean age of 35.08±8.94 years. The largest pre-residency prejudice for women was mobbing, while for men, it was long working hours (P =.001). The most significant challenge for both genders halfway through residency was long working hours (P =.453). Women reported higher career satisfaction (67.4%) compared to men (58.9%). No significant difference was found between the genders in respect of the incidence of experiencing mobbing at least once in their professional lives (P = .714)
Conclusion: Mobbing is a significant issue, particularly for women in surgery, although long working hours affect both genders the most. However, the female surgeons reported experiencing more prejudice from colleagues than was reported by men, highlighting the importance of gender equity in the workplace.

ORTOPEDİDE ZORLUKLAR VE FIRSATLAR: KADIN VE ERKEK CERRAHLARIN DENEYİMLERİ FARKLI MI?

Amaç: Kadınlar, dünya genelinde tıp fakültesi mezunlarının neredeyse yarısını oluştursa da Türkiye dahil birçok ülkede kadın ortopedistler, tüm ortopedistlerin %10'undan azını teşkil etmektedir. Ancak, son yıllarda Türkiye'de kadın ortopedi asistanlarının sayısında artış gözlenmektedir. Bu kesitsel çalışma, Türkiye'deki kadın ortopedistlerin deneyimlerini, iş yerinde karşılaştıkları zorlukları ve cerrahi eğilimlerini erkek meslektaşlarıyla karşılaştırmayı amaçlamaktadır.
Yöntemler: Yaşça eşleştirilmiş 110 ortopedist (54 kadın,56 erkek) üzerinde bir anket uygulandı. Türkiye'deki 81 kadın ortopedi cerrahından 54'ü çalışmaya katılmayı kabul etti. Demografik özellikler, kariyer memnuniyeti, mobbing deneyimleri, cerrahi ilgi alanları ve meslektaşlarla olan dinamikleri değerlendirildi. Çalışma için etik kurul onamı alındı.
Bulgular: Örneklem, ortalama yaşı 35.08±8.94 olan asistan ve uzmanları içermektedir. Kadınlar için asistanlık öncesindeki en büyük önyargı mobbing iken, erkekler için uzun çalışma saatleri olmuştur(P=.001). Asistanlık sürecinin sonunda her iki cinsiyet için en büyük zorluk uzun çalışma saatleri olmuştur (P =.453). Kadınlar, erkeklere göre daha yüksek kariyer memnuniyeti bildirmiştir (%67.4, %58.9). Mesleki yaşamlarında en az bir kez mobbinge maruz kalma oranı açısından cinsiyetler arasında anlamlı fark bulunmamıştır (P =.714).
Sonuç: Mobbing, özellikle kadınlar için önemli bir sorun oluşturmaktayken, uzun çalışma saatleri her iki cinsiyeti de etkilemektedir. Buna karşın kadınlar, işyerinde cinsiyet eşitliğinin önemini ortaya koyan bir biçimde, meslektaşları tarafından daha fazla önyargıya maruz kalmıştır.
