About this study
Official title: Survey on Sexual Harassment and Gender Discrimination in the Healthcare Sector in Taiwan
This study addresses the pervasive issue of sexual harassment within Taiwanese society, particularly within the medical field, where comprehensive research is lacking. The research objective is to explore patterns of sexual harassment and gender discrimination experiences among physicians and medical students in Taiwan, while also investigating potential associations with professional burnout and mental health. Employing a convergent mixed-methods design, the study combines quantitative surveys and qualitative in-depth interviews. While lacking a control group and utilizing non-blinding methods without random assignment, the study aims to recruit 1000 participants aged 18 or older, considering both valid responses and potential dropouts. Additionally, interviews will be conducted with 30 individuals who have experienced sexual harassment or are interested in gender issues. The research methods will assess sexual harassment experiences, professional burnout, and depressive symptoms as primary outcomes or indicators.
