Gender disparity in neurosurgery: A multinational survey on gender-related career satisfaction.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Women continue to be underrepresented in the majority of surgical specialties, including neurosurgery.

Research question

In this multinational survey, we aimed to assess current gender disparities in neurosurgery focusing on job satisfaction and inequity/discrimination at work.

Material and methods

Female and male members of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies were asked to complete an electronic survey (Google Forms, Mountain View) containing demographic baseline data and questions on attitudes regarding gender disparity, personal experience with gender inequity and career satisfaction/work-life balance. Quantitative analyses were performed to analyse the responses, including summary and comparative statistics.
