abstract: 'Background This study aimed to highlight cultural barriers faced by
surgeons pursuing a surgical career faced by surgeons at a tertiary care
hospital in Pakistan. As more females opt for a surgical career,
barriers faced by female surgeons are becoming increasingly evident,
many of which are rooted in cultural norms. In Pakistan, a predominantly
Muslim-majority, low middle-income country, certain societal
expectations add additionally complexity and challenges to existing
cultural barriers. Methods A cross-sectional survey was administered via
e-mail to the full-time faculty and trainees in the Department of
Surgery at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan, from
July 2019 to November 2019. Results In total, 100 participants were
included in this study, with the majority being residents (55.6\%) and
consultants (33.3\%). 71.9\% of female surgeons felt that cultural
barriers towards a surgical career existed for their gender, as compared
to 25.4\% of male surgeons (p < 0.001). 40.6\% of females reported
having been discouraged by family/close friends from pursuing surgery,
as compared to only 9.0\% of males (p < 0.001). Moreover, a greater
percentage of females surgeons were responsible for household cooking,
cleaning and laundry, as compared to male surgeons (all p < 0.001).
Lastly, 71.4\% of female surgeons felt that having children had hindered
their surgical career, as compared to 4.8\% of males (p < 0001).
Conclusion Our study shows that significant cultural barriers exist for
females pursuing a surgical career in our setting. Findings such as
these emphasize the need for policy makers to work towards overcoming
cultural barriers.'
