Abstract
Objective: To investigate realization of expectations of female neurosurgeons in professional and personal terms and influence of profession on the quality of life.
Material and methods: We surveyed 44 female neurosurgeons from 17 hospitals of the Russian Federation and CIS between 2020 and 2023. Survey was voluntary and anonymous.
Results: Mean age of women was 32 years (45% were younger than 30 years, 55% were older), more than half of them had more than 5-year experience. Almost half of female neurosurgeons were dissatisfied with results of their professional activity. Most of the women felt that they needed to work harder than their male colleagues to be recognized equally in professional environment. One third of respondents (32%) are considering quitting specialty completely and devoting themselves to their families in the future.
Conclusion: Female neurosurgeons often have to sacrifice personal life and family to achieve the results similar to those in men. This can lead to emotional burnout.
