Abstract

Background and aim: In the evolving landscape of anesthesiology, anesthesiologists play a pivotal role that extends beyond providing clinical care. Anesthesiologists exhibit adept collaboration skills, particularly in high-stress environments, showcasing their leadership and management proficiencies. While the terms "leader" and "manager" hold distinct connotations, leaders often fulfill managerial roles. Gender disparities are prevalent in anesthesiology leadership, mirroring broader trends across professions. In 2023, this study conducts a bibliometric analysis of academic professionals holding department head positions in Turkish anesthesiology and reanimation, scrutinizing gender distribution and categorizing them based on their institutions' administrative attributes to illuminate leadership patterns within the field. Material & Methods: The hospitals in our country that offer anesthesiology and reanimation training clinics were categorized into three groups. The official websites of each hospital within the group were individually reviewed to gather information on anesthesiology specialist physicians who serve as department managers in the anesthesiology and reanimation clinics. The quantity of male and female anesthesiology department managers in each group was computed and thereafter compared between the groups. Results: An analysis of the gender distribution among anesthesiology department managers in hospitals with training clinics revealed that 54% were male and 46% were female. There was no difference in the gender distribution between the three categories based on the analysis of data from a total of 100 institutions (p>0.05). Conclusion: In 2023, the proportion of female anesthesiologists in leadership positions within their respective departments in our country exceeds the reported global average for female anesthesiologists. Keywords: Gender equity; leadership; anesthesia; academia

探索学术麻醉学中的性别和领导轨迹:土耳其系主任的定性内容分析

背景和目的:在不断发展的麻醉学领域，麻醉师在提供临床护理之外发挥着关键作用。麻醉师表现出熟练的协作技能，特别是在高压力环境中，展示了他们的领导和管理能力。虽然“领导者”和“管理者”这两个词有着不同的内涵，但领导者往往扮演着管理角色。性别差异在麻醉学领导中普遍存在，反映了整个行业的更广泛趋势。在2023年，本研究对土耳其麻醉学和复生学科中担任系主任职位的学术专业人员进行了文献计量分析，仔细研究了性别分布，并根据他们所在机构的行政属性对他们进行了分类，以阐明该领域的领导模式。材料,方法:将我国开设麻醉与复苏研修班的医院分为三组。对集团内每家医院的官方网站进行单独审查，以收集在麻醉和复苏诊所担任部门经理的麻醉专科医生的信息。统计各组麻醉科室经理男女人数，并进行组间比较。结果:对培训门诊医院麻醉科管理人员的性别分布进行分析，男性占54%，女性占46%。对共100所院校的数据进行分析，三类之间的性别分布无差异(p>0.05)。结论:2023年，我国女麻醉医师在各自科室担任领导职务的比例超过全球报道的女麻醉医师平均水平。关键词:性别平等;领导力;麻醉;学术界
