背景：女性医生可能有多种家庭角色(如厨师、管家、儿童保育员)，这些角色可能会影响她们的职业生涯，但很大程度上没有被研究。设计、环境、参与者和主要结果衡量标准：我们向女性医生健康研究报告了受访者(N=4501)的数据，这是一项横断面、基于问卷的研究，对美国女性MDD进行了分层随机抽样。结果：有0到17岁孩子的女医生每周花在儿童护理上的时间中值为24.4小时。女医生通常每天花半个小时做饭，另外每天花半个小时做其他家务。花在园艺上的时间很少：每周的中位数为0.05小时(3分钟)。那些做更多家务的人可能会在家外工作更少的时间，更少地随叫随到。已婚或丧偶、子女较多、个人收入较低、配偶受教育程度较高、收入较高的女医生从事的家务活动较多。研究发现，从事家务活动的时间与职业满意度、身心健康之间没有显著的负相关关系。结论：女性医生花在家务活动上的时间很少，包括做饭、做家务，尤其是园艺。与其他美国女性相比，女性医生花在照顾孩子上的时间略少，花在家务上的时间也大大减少。尽管有大量关于女医生角色冲突的社论，但我们对职业满意度和心理健康的衡量并没有因为花在家务上的时间而受到负面影响。
Background: Women physicians may have a multiplicity of domestic roles (eg, cook, housekeeper, child care provider) that are of inherent interest and that may affect their professional lives, but are largely unstudied.Design, Setting, Participants, and Main Outcome Measures: We report data from respondents (N = 4501) to the Women Physicians' Health Study, a cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study of a stratified random sample of US women MDs.Results: Women physicians with children aged 0 to 17 years spent a median of 24.4 hours per week on child care. Women physicians typically spent half an hour per day cooking, and another half-hour per day on other housework. Little time was spent on gardening: a median of 0.05 hours (3 minutes) per week. Those performing more domestic tasks are likely to work fewer hours outside the home and to be on call less often. Women physicians who are married or widowed, have more children, have lower personal incomes, and have more highly educated and higher-earning spouses perform more domestic activities. We found no significant adverse relationship between time spent on any domestic activity and career satisfaction or mental or physical health.Conclusions: Women physicians spend little time on domestic activities that can br done for them by others, including cooking, housework, and especially gardening. Women physicians spend somewhat less time on child care and substantially less time on housework than do other US women. Despite abundant editorializing about role conflicts of women physicians, our measures of career satisfaction and mental health were not adversely affected by time spent on domestic obligations.
