研究是一项全球性的事业,需要男女双方的参与,以获得可推广的知识;促进科学和循证医学治疗。妇女参与研究是必要的,以减少目前的偏见,即大多数经验证据是从对男子的研究中获得的,以告知保健和相关的政策干预。据推测,有各种因素限制了尼日利亚西部约鲁巴妇女的自主权。本文旨在探讨约鲁巴妇女在参与研究方面的自主性的经验和理解。本研究以影响女性自主决策参与研究的因素为研究对象,采用探索性质性研究方法,包括4次焦点小组讨论、42次深度访谈和14次关键知情人访谈。这项研究允许大量的三角测量,因为丈夫和宗教领袖的意见也被探讨。对访谈和讨论进行了录音和逐字记录。研究结果显示,约鲁巴妇女的自主概念各不相同。父权制、宗教和文化被认为对妇女参与研究的自主权产生负面影响。重要的发现包括:1)宗教领袖强烈强调男性的主导地位,他们应该教导平等,2)虽然男性认为为妇女做决定是在保护她们,但另一方面,妇女认为这种保护是限制她们自主权的一种方式。我们建议开展进一步的研究,以制定文化上适当和可行的征聘方法,增加妇女对研究的参与。
Research is a global enterprise requiring participation of both genders for generalizable knowledge; advancement of science and evidence based medical treatment. Participation of women in research is necessary to reduce the current bias that most empirical evidence is obtained from studies with men to inform health care and related policy interventions. Various factors are assumed to limit autonomy amongst the Yoruba women of western Nigeria. This paper seeks to explore the experience and understanding of autonomy by the Yoruba women in relation to research participation. Focus is on factors that affect women's autonomous decision making in research participation.An exploratory qualitative approach comprising four focus group discussions, 42 in‐depth interviews and 14 key informant interviews was used. The study permits a significant amount of triangulation, as opinions of husbands and religious leaders are also explored. Interviews and discussions were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. Content analysis was employed for data analysis.Findings show that concepts of autonomy varied amongst the Yoruba women. Patriarchy, religion and culture are conceived to have negative impact on the autonomy of women in respect to research participation. Among the important findings are: 1) male dominance is strongly emphasized by religious leaders who should teach equality, 2) while men feel that by making decisions for women, they are protecting them, the women on the other hand see this protection as a way of limiting their autonomy. We recommend further studies to develop culturally appropriate and workable recruitment methods to increase women's participation in research.
