摘要

背景:性别歧视,特别是针对妇女的歧视,仍然是工作场所的一个挑战,辅助医疗也不例外。对妇女的歧视仍然存在,尽管在许多情况下,她们比男性同行更有资格。目的:本研究的目的是利用南非女性急诊医生(ECPs)的看法和经验来探讨GD在辅助医学中的作用。研究环境:研究环境在南非约翰内斯堡地区,研究对象为女性ECPs。方法:本研究采用定性描述设计,通过在线或面对面访谈对7名参与者进行数据收集。访谈逐字抄录,纵向和横向阅读,使用ATLAS编码。Ti版本22的软件和分析的类别和主题。结果:从数据中出现了六个主要主题:(1)GD在紧急医疗服务(EMS)中仍然普遍存在;(2)女性ecp在工作场所受到破坏;(3)存在与GD相关的种族因素;(4)基于身体能力的性别刻板印象;(5)职场焦虑的负面影响;(6)母壁偏倚。结论:EMS对女性的性别歧视持续存在,女性被刻板印象、被破坏、受到母墙偏见的影响。焦虑对参与者的影响包括心理压力、不足感、孤立感、悲伤和自我怀疑。贡献:对非洲EMS的gdp研究较少。本研究的发现为EMS工作场所的GD提供了有价值的见解,并有助于全球范围内与GD相关的知识体系的发展。

Gender discrimination in the emergency services: Female paramedic experiences in South Africa.

Background:  Gender discrimination (GD), particularly that against women, remains a challenge in the workplace and paramedicine is no exception. Discrimination against women persists despite, in many cases, their being more qualified than their male counterparts.

Aim:  The aim of this study was to explore GD in paramedicine using the perceptions and experiences of South African female emergency care practitioners (ECPs).

Setting:  The study setting was within the Johannesburg area in South Africa, and targeted female ECPs.

Methods:  This study used a qualitative description design to gather data using online or face-to-face interviews from seven participants. Interviews were transcribed verbatim, read vertically and horizontally, coded using ATLAS.ti version 22 software and analysed for categories and themes.

Results:  There were six dominant themes that emerged from the data: (1) GD remains prevalent in emergency medical services (EMS); (2) female ECPs were undermined in the workplace; (3) there were race factors related to GD; (4) gender stereotypes were based on physical capabilities; (5) the negative effects of GD in the workplace; and (6) maternal wall bias.

Conclusion:  Gender discrimination against women in EMS persists with females being stereotyped, undermined and subject to maternal wall bias. Effects of GD on participants included psychological stress, feelings of inadequacy, isolation, sadness and self-doubt. Contribution: There is a paucity of research on GD in African EMS. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into GD in the EMS workplace and contribute to the growing body of knowledge related to GD worldwide.
