Abstract

Abstract Background The proportion of women among healthcare and biomedical research professionals in neuro-oncology is growing. With changes in cultural expectations and work-life balance considerations, more men aspire to nonfull-time jobs, yet, leadership positions remain dominated by men. Methods The European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO) disparity committee carried out a digital survey to explore gender balance and actions suitable to promote gender equality. The survey was distributed among EANO members in 2021, with responses analyzed descriptively. Results In total, 262 participants completed the survey (141 women, 53.8%; median age 43). Respondents were neurosurgeons (68, 26.0%); neurologists (67, 25.6%), medical oncologists (43, 16.4%), or other healthcare or research professionals; 208 participants (79.4%) worked full-time. Positive action to enforce the role of women in neuro-oncology was deemed necessary by 180 participants (68.7%), but only 28 participants (10.7%) agreed that women only should be promoted until gender balance is reached. A majority of respondents (162, 61.8%) felt that women with an equivalent CV should be prioritized over men to reach gender balance. If in the future the balance favored women at higher positions, 112 respondents (42.7%) agreed to apply positive action for men. The top indicators considered relevant to measure gender balance were: salary for similar positions (183/228, 80.3%), paid overtime (176/228, 77.2%), number of permanent positions (164/228, 71.9%), protected time for research (161/227, 70.9%), and training opportunities (157/227, 69.2%). Conclusions Specific indicators may help to measure and promote gender balance and should be considered for implementation among healthcare professionals in neuro-oncology.

性别平衡和促进神经肿瘤学保健专业人员性别平等的适当积极行动:EANO积极行动倡议
背景在神经肿瘤学的医疗保健和生物医学研究专业人员中,女性的比例正在增长。随着文化期望的变化和工作与生活平衡的考虑,越来越多的男性渴望非全职工作,然而,领导职位仍然由男性主导。方法欧洲神经肿瘤协会(EANO)性别差异委员会开展数字调查,探讨性别平衡及促进性别平等的措施。该调查于2021年在EANO成员中进行了分发,并对回复进行了描述性分析。结果共262人完成调查,其中女性141人,占53.8%;平均年龄43岁)。调查对象为神经外科医生(68人,26.0%);神经科医生(67人,25.6%)、肿瘤内科医生(43人,16.4%)或其他医疗保健或研究专业人员;208名参与者(79.4%)全职工作。180名参与者(68.7%)认为有必要采取积极行动加强女性在神经肿瘤学中的作用,但只有28名参与者(10.7%)同意只有在达到性别平衡之前才应该提升女性。大多数受访者(162,61.8%)认为,为了实现性别平衡,应该优先考虑拥有同等简历的女性,而不是男性。112名受访者(42.7%)同意,如果未来天平偏向高位女性,将对男性采取积极行动。被认为与衡量性别平衡相关的最重要指标是:类似职位的工资(183/228,80.3%)、加班费(176/228,77.2%)、固定职位数量(164/228,71.9%)、受保护的研究时间(161/227,70.9%)和培训机会(157/227,69.2%)。结论特定的指标可能有助于衡量和促进性别平衡,应考虑在神经肿瘤医护人员中实施。
