在印度文化中，女性有着自相矛盾的地位：一方面，女神因权力和繁荣而受到崇拜；另一方面，由于古老的信仰和社会文化规范，职业妇女面临挑战。目前就读本科牙科教育的学生中有60%是女性，因此有必要研究这些女性面临的挑战以及她们如何应对这些挑战。这项调查研究的目的是评估女性牙医在职业发展中面临的障碍，以及她们如何成功地平衡个人、专业和社会生活方面。问卷由4个定性项目和24个定量项目组成，发放给500名女牙医：孟买和新孟买牙科学院的研究生住院医师和教员，以及私人牙医。在这500名女性中，有210人回复了调查，总体回复率为42%。调查结果显示，95%的受访者认为他们成功地平衡了生活的各个领域，但他们面临的最常见挑战仍然是传统的性别偏见、工作和家庭的双重责任，以及对女性的先入为主的观念。
Women in Indian culture have a paradoxical status: on the one hand, goddesses are worshipped for power and prosperity; on the other hand, working women face challenges due to age-old beliefs and sociocultural norms. With 60% of the students enrolled in undergraduate dental education currently being women, there is a need to study the challenges these women are facing and how they tackle them. The aim of this survey study was to assess the barriers women dentists face in career advancement and how successfully they balance the personal, professional, and social aspects of their lives. Questionnaires, consisting of four qualitative and 24 quantitative items, were distributed to 500 women dentists: postgraduate residents and faculty members in dental colleges of Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, as well as private dental practitioners. Of the 500 women, 210 returned the survey, for an overall response rate of 42%. The results showed that 95% of the respondents believed they successfully balance the various spheres of their lives, but the most common challenges they faced continued to be traditional gender bias, dual professional and home responsibilities, and preconceived ideas about women.
