Abstract

This research highlights the voices of 103 STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) women in academia who responded to a series of open-ended questions regarding the impact of COVID-19 on their work and tenure. The current study also sought to compare these responses to similar questions that were collected a year prior ( n = 84) during the earliest months of the pandemic (Dunn et al., 2022). Consensual qualitative research-modified (CQR-M; Spangler et al., 2011) was utilized to analyze the data. The main findings reveal substantial concerns about the pandemic’s negative impact on academic work, highlighting research disruptions, difficulty balancing demands on time (e.g., extra responsibilities at work, navigating work and family conflicts), impacts on mental health and burnout for women faculty in STEM, and an increase in negative effects from 2020 to 2021. Clinical implications, future research directions, and social advocacy interventions in the context of COVID-19 will be discussed.

“我需要休息，否则我可能会辞职”:STEM学者的流行病经历

本研究重点介绍了103名学术界STEM(科学、技术、工程和数学)女性的声音，她们回答了一系列关于COVID-19对其工作和任期影响的开放式问题。目前的研究还试图将这些回答与一年前大流行最初几个月收集的类似问题(n = 84)进行比较(Dunn et al.， 2022)。协商一致的定性研究修正(CQR-M);Spangler et al.， 2011)对数据进行分析。主要调查结果显示，人们对疫情对学术工作的负面影响感到非常担忧，重点是研究中断、难以平衡准时需求(例如，工作上的额外责任、处理工作和家庭冲突)、对STEM女性教师的心理健康和倦怠的影响，以及2020年至2021年负面影响的增加。将讨论新冠肺炎背景下的临床意义、未来研究方向和社会倡导干预措施。
