摘要
目的:女性在介入放射学(IR)领域的代表性严重不足。本综述旨在评估目前有关介入放射学性别差异的文献。揭示相关主题和研究空白,为未来研究提供信息,并提出改革建议,以提高女性在介入放射学领域的应用和保留率:方法:对 MEDLINE、EMBASE 和 Web of Science 进行了综述。采用特定的纳入和排除标准来收集所有相关文献。对纳入的文献进行主题分析,突出论文之间的主题和共性:在 396 篇文章中,只有 15 篇符合纳入标准。许多论文因与主题不相关而被排除在外。主题分析确定了六个主题:辐射暴露、导师制、男性主导地位、工作与生活的平衡、研究和早期接触红外:针对每个主题提出了建议。当务之急是为医学生建立一个高质量的指导计划。其次,医学院和实习托管机构应提供有关辐射安全和教学机会的准确信息,以展示红外的价值和具有代表性的工作队伍的必要性。
Looking at the gender disparity in interventional radiology: a scoping review.
Objectives: The underrepresentation of women within interventional radiology (IR) is profound. This scoping review aims to evaluate the current literature on gender disparity within IR. To uncover relevant themes and research gaps to inform future research and to recommend changes aimed at increasing application and retention of women in IR.
Methods: A review of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Web of Science was conducted. Specific inclusion and exclusion criteria were used to gather all relevant literature. Thematic analysis of included literature highlighted themes and commonalities between papers.
Results: Of 396 articles, only 15 met the inclusion criteria. Many papers were excluded due to their lack of relevance to the topic. Thematic analysis identified 6 themes radiation exposure, mentorship, male dominance, work-life balance, research, and early exposure to IR.
Conclusions: Recommendations relating to each theme have been made. Establishing a high-quality mentoring scheme, for medical students, is the priority. Followed by accurate information, regarding radiation safety and teaching opportunities provided by medical schools and placement trusts, to demonstrate the value of IR and the need for a representative workforce.
Advances in knowledge: With little research based primarily within the United Kingdom, this review has amalgamated results from papers published internationally to highlight potential factors influencing the gender disparity within IR. Realistic recommendations and future points of research aimed at creating gender parity that are appropriate towards both the United Kingdom and global institutions have been suggested.
期刊介绍:
BJR is the international research journal of the British Institute of Radiology and is the oldest scientific journal in the field of radiology and related sciences.
Dating back to 1896, BJR’s history is radiology’s history, and the journal has featured some landmark papers such as the first description of Computed Tomography "Computerized transverse axial tomography" by Godfrey Hounsfield in 1973. A valuable historical resource, the complete BJR archive has been digitized from 1896.
