摘要

目的性别歧视和性行为不端是国民健康服务系统（NHS）中普遍存在的问题。在英国，放射学注册医师中这一问题的严重程度尚不清楚。这项全国性调查探讨了放射学注册医师在放射学培训期间遭受性别歧视、性骚扰和性侵犯的经历，以及对健康的影响和报告行为的障碍。与男性相比，目睹或经历过性别歧视和性骚扰的女性比例明显增加（p < 0.05）。大多数施暴者（58%）是放射科团队内外的资深同事（包括放射科主管）。72% 遭受过性别歧视、骚扰和/或攻击的放射科注册医师对处理其遭遇的方式不满意。68%的人不知道有举报此类行为的途径。结论放射科注册医师普遍遭受过性别歧视、性骚扰和性侵犯，女性受到的影响尤为严重。报告这些问题存在很大的障碍，特别是考虑到大多数肇事者都是资深同事。我们呼吁负责任的机构为所有人创造一个安全的工作环境，包括实施新的报告途径、开展培训和考虑采取安全措施，如加强使用陪护。

Sex discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual assault in UK radiology training: a national survey

AIM

Sex discrimination and sexual misconduct are endemic issues within the National Health Service (NHS). The extent of the problem amongst radiology registrars across the UK is unknown. This national survey explores the experiences of radiology registrars in relation to sex discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual assault during radiology training, in addition to the impact on wellbeing and barriers to reporting behaviours.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

This observational study using qualitative data from distribution of a national survey with ethical approval.

Results

122 responses were received. A significantly increased proportion of females have witnessed or experienced sex discrimination and sexual harassment compared to males (p < 0.05). A greater proportion of females also experienced sexual assault however the numbers are low and not statistically significant.

The majority of perpetrators (58%) were senior colleagues both from within and outside of the radiology team (including radiology supervisors). 21% of perpetrators were patients.

72% of radiology registrars who experienced sex discrimination, harassment and/or assault were not happy with the way in which their situation was dealt with. 68% were not aware of a pathway in place for reporting such behaviours.

Conclusion

Sex discrimination and sexual harassment and assault have been experienced widely by radiology registrars, disproportionately affecting women. There are significant barriers to reporting these issues especially given most perpetrators are senior colleagues. We call upon responsible organisations to create a safe working environment for all, including implementing new pathways for reporting, developing training, and considering safety measures such as enhanced use of chaperones.
