Abstract

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of the study was to understand the attitudes of surgical advanced practice providers (APPs) towards parental leave for themselves and surgical trainees.

DESIGN

APPs in a single department of surgery (DOS) were surveyed. The survey evaluated 1) personal experience with parental leave, 2) experience with surgical trainees taking parental leave and 3) attitudes towards parental leave.

SETTING

University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus; level 1 Trauma Center.

PARTICIPANTS

All surgical APPs were invited to participant in the study. There was a total of 65 respondents.

RESULTS

Survey response rate was 34.0% (N = 65). 81.5% (N = 53) of respondents were married or in domestic partnership. 56.9% (N = 37) of respondents had children and 16.0% (N = 11) took parental leave within the DOS. 58.5% (N = 38) of respondents worked with a trainee who took parental leave for which 19 APPS were asked to cover additional work. 21.5 % (N = 14) of respondents reported that time off for parental leave for childbearing surgical trainees places an unreasonable strain on APPs. Almost all (96.9%, N = 63) APPs reported childbearing surgical trainees should receive 6 to 12 weeks or >12 weeks of parental leave.

CONCLUSIONS

APPs are often asked to cover for surgical trainees taking parental leave. Nonetheless, APPs are supportive of trainees taking leave.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Surgical Education (JSE) is dedicated to advancing the field of surgical education through original research. The journal publishes research articles in all surgical disciplines on topics relative to the education of surgical students, residents, and fellows, as well as practicing surgeons. Our readers look to JSE for timely, innovative research findings from the international surgical education community. As the official journal of the Association of Program Directors in Surgery (APDS), JSE publishes the proceedings of the annual APDS meeting held during Surgery Education Week.
