Impact of Caregiver Status on Academic Achievements and Family-Work Conflict

Résumé fourni par la source

Background and Objectives: With more women entering the medical workforce, caregiving challenges and family-work conflicts are of growing importance to today's neurologists. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of caregiver (CG) status on academic achievements in neurology, analyze the division of labor and time devoted to domestic responsibilities, and measure family-work conflict in US academic neurology faculty. Methods: analyses as appropriate, with CGs vs noncaregivers (N-CGs) serving as the independent groups. Results: = 0.034). Discussion: Although the caregiving burden did not directly affect academic productivity, it significantly increased FWC in US academic neurology faculty surveyed. Female CG faculty disproportionately shouldered domestic and household responsibilities. Beyond recognizing CG challenges, advocating for a change in paradigm and providing solutions to these pervasive issues could be instrumental in preventing further attrition of professionals from our field, particularly women with caregiving roles.
