像贝克汉姆一样弯曲,或像佛罗伦萨一样牢固——新年荣誉中医疗行业的比例代表性研究,这一成果由英国西部综合医院John A Emelifeonwu研究团队取得。2019年12月18日的《英国医学杂志》发表了这项成果。

为了比较医护人员和其他行业员工获得新年荣誉(NYHs)的比例代表性,并确定NYH系统是否存在性别或地域歧视,研究组对英国荣誉制度进行了一项观察研究,对英国工作人员的比例代表性进行分析,并对性别和地域代表性进行分组分析。

2009-2018年,英国共颁发了10989项新年荣誉,其中47%颁发给女性。832个奖项(7.6%)颁发给医疗服务人员。从事体育和艺术媒体工作的人比医护人员更容易获得新年荣誉,相对风险分别为22.01和5.84。医护人员和科技人员获得的新年荣誉无显著性差异。34%(3741项)荣誉颁发给生活在伦敦和英格兰东南部的人们,1447个高级别奖项(包括骑士勋章、大英帝国司令勋章等)中仅有496项(34%)颁发给女性。

总之,就从业规模来看,医疗行业不像其他行业那么“体面”。荣誉制度中也可能存在地域和性别偏见。

Abstract: 

Objectives To compare the proportional representation of healthcare workers in receipt of New Year honours (NYHs) with workers in other industries and to determine whether the NYH system has gender or geographical biases.

Design Observational study of the UK honours system with a comparative analysis of proportional representation of the UK workforce and subgroup analyses of gender and geographical representations.

Participants Recipients of NYHs from 2009 to 2018.

Main outcome measures Absolute risk of receiving an NYH based on industry, gender, or region of the UK. Relative risk of receiving an NYH for services to healthcare compared with other industries.

Results 10 989 NYHs were bestowed from 2009 to 2018, 47% of which were awarded to women. 832 awards (7.6%) were for services to healthcare. People working in sport and in the arts and media were more likely to receive NYHs than those working in healthcare (relative risks of 22.01 (95% confidence interval 19.91 to 24.34) and 5.84 (5.31 to 6.44), respectively). There was no significant difference between the rate of receiving honours for healthcare and for science and technology (P=0.22). 34% (3741) of awards were issued to people living in London and in the southeast of England, and only 496 of 1447 (34%) higher order awards (knighthoods, damehoods, companions of honour, and commanders of the order of the British empire) were received by women.

Conclusions In relation to the size of its workforce, a career in healthcare is not as “honourable” as careers in certain other industries. Geographical and gender biases might exist in the honours system.
