Los especialistas en cardiología pueden sufrir estresores que afecten su salud, como inequidad laboral y violencia de género, además de padecer factores de riesgo (FR) tradicionales para enfermedad cardiovascular (ECV) Objetivo: Detectar el nivel de bienestar, equidad laboral y violencia de género y conocer la prevalencia de los FR en especialistas en cardiología en Argentina Material y métodos: Estudio observacional, de corte transversal a través de una encuesta anónima realizada en septiembre de 2021 a los especialistas del padrón de la Sociedad Argentina de Cardiología. Se recabaron datos sobre equidad laboral, violencia laboral y doméstica y FR. Resultados: Participaron 611 profesionales (40,5% mujeres). El 63% trabajaba más de 44 horas semanales; 3 de cada 10 cumplían guardias de 12 o 24 horas (38,5% mujeres vs 28% varones, p <0,01). El 72% consideró excesiva la carga laboral, con remuneración no acorde a su formación académica (70%). La mitad de las cardiólogas encuestadas consideró que la maternidad limitó el desarrollo profesional en la especialidad. La violencia de género laboral fue más frecuente en las cardiólogas (58% vs 10% p <0,01) al igual que la violencia doméstica (16% vs 6% p <0,01). Los varones tenían más sobrepeso (67% vs 34% mujeres, p <0,01) y obesidad (16% vs 11%, p<0,01) y las mujeres resultaron ser más sedentarias (53% vs 45%, p< 0,01). Conclusión: Resultó evidente la disconformidad en las condiciones laborales en ambos sexos y la mayor prevalencia de violencia de género laboral y doméstica en las especialistas mujeres encuestadas. A pesar de contar con el conocimiento sobre ECV y FR los especialistas encuestados tienen una alta prevalencia de FR
Background: Cardiology specialists may suffer from stressors that affect their health, such as labor inequity and gender violence, in addition to traditional cardiovascular risk factors (RF) for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Objective: The aim of this study was to detect the level of well-being, labor equity and gender violence and to establish the prevalence of CRF in cardiology specialists in Argentina. Methods: This was an observational, cross-sectional study through an anonymous survey conducted in September 2021 among specialists included in the Argentine Society of Cardiology registry. Data on labor equity, labor and domestic violence and CRF were collected. Results: Six hundred and eleven professionals (40.5% women) participated in the survey: 63% worked more than 44 hours per week; 3 out of 10 were on duty for 12 or 24 hours (38.5% women vs. 28% men, p<0.01). Seventy-two percent of respondents considered the workload excessive while 70% thought their payment was not in accordance with the academic training. Half of female cardiologists surveyed considered that motherhood limited professional development in the specialty. Work-related violence was more frequent in female cardiologists (58% vs. 10% p <0.01), as was domestic violence (16% vs. 6% p <0.01). Men were more overweight (67% men vs. 34% women, p <0.01) and obese (16% vs. 11%, p <0.01) and women were more sedentary (53% vs. 45%, p <0.01). Conclusion: The disconformity in working conditions experienced by both genders was evident, as was the evidence of higher workplace and domestic gender violence in the female specialists surveyed. Despite having knowledge about CVD and cardiovascular RF, the surveyed specialists have a high prevalence of RF.
