IMPORTANCE: The ability to pursue family planning goals is integral to gender equity in any field. Procedural specialties pose occupational risks to pregnancy. As the largest procedural specialty, general surgery provides an opportunity to understand family planning, workplace support for parenthood, obstetric outcomes, and the impact of these factors on workforce well-being, gender equity, and attrition.
OBJECTIVE: To examine pregnancy and parenthood experiences, including mistreatment and obstetric outcomes, among a cohort of US general surgical residents.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This cohort study involved a cross-sectional national survey of general surgery residents in all programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education after the 2021 American Board of Surgery In-Training Examination. Female respondents who reported a pregnancy and male respondents whose partners were pregnant during clinical training were queried about pregnancy- and parenthood-based mistreatment, obstetric outcomes, and current well-being (burnout, thoughts of attrition, suicidality).
MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Primary outcomes included obstetric complications and postpartum depression compared between female residents and partners of male residents. Secondary outcomes included perceptions about support for family planning, pregnancy, or parenthood; assisted reproductive technology use; pregnancy/parenthood-based mistreatment; neonatal complications; and well-being, compared between female and male residents.
RESULTS: A total of 5692 residents from 325 US general surgery programs participated (81.2% response rate). Among them, 957 residents (16.8%) reported a pregnancy during clinical training (692/3097 [22.3%] male vs 265/2595 [10.2%] female; P < .001). Compared with male residents, female residents more frequently delayed having children because of training (1201/2568 [46.8%] females vs 1006/3072 [32.7%] males; P < .001) and experienced pregnancy/parenthood-based mistreatment (132 [58.1%] females vs 179 [30.5%] males; P < .001). Compared with partners of male residents, female residents were more likely to experience obstetric complications (odds ratio [OR], 1.42; 95% CI, 1.04-1.96) and postpartum depression (OR, 1.63; 95% CI, 1.11-2.40). Pregnancy/parenthood-based mistreatment was associated with increased burnout (OR, 2.03; 95% CI, 1.48-2.78) and thoughts of attrition (OR, 2.50; 95% CI, 1.61-3.88). Postpartum depression, whether in female residents or partners of male residents, was associated with resident burnout (OR, 1.93; 95% CI, 1.27-2.92), thoughts of attrition (OR, 2.32; 95% CI, 1.36-3.96), and suicidality (OR, 5.58; 95% CI, 2.59-11.99).
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This study found that pregnancy/parenthood-based mistreatment, obstetric complications, and postpartum depression were associated with female gender, likely driving gendered attrition. Systematic change is needed to protect maternal-fetal health and advance gender equity in procedural fields.
