“…15 This can add another layer of stress to an already stressful career. 16 The extra commitments make it harder to find the time for out of hours work needed to reach leadership positions. When planning a family, a recent survey of North American surgeons found a 42% higher rate of miscarriage when compared with the rest of the population, suggesting we still need to do more to support pregnant surgeons.…”

“…“Very effective” was used as the reference group for all comparisons. Gender was considered a relevant demographic variable based on research suggesting that women likely bear an increased burden of care during the pandemic ( Seedat and Rondon, 2021 ). This may impact female clinicians' interest or need for telehealth provision and lead to gender differences for perceived effectiveness of telehealth.…”

“…Based on this finding, a pertinent suggestion would be that policies for maximising access to necessary healthcare should be customised to distinguish between the jobless category and job holders. Recent studies have found that jobless women are exposed to an increased risk of mental health issues, and recommend well-designed policy options to cater to their needs (40,41).…”

While many studies have explored the financial barriers to healthcare, there is little evidence regarding the non-financial barriers to healthcare. This study identified characteristics associated with financial and non-financial barriers to healthcare and quantified the effects of these characteristics in South Korea, using a nationally representative longitudinal survey dataset. Overall, 68,930 observations of 16,535 individuals aged 19 years and above were sampled from Korea Health Panel survey data (2014–2018). From self-reported information about respondents' experiences of unmet healthcare needs, a trichotomous dependent variable—no barrier, non-financial barrier, and financial barrier—was derived. Sociodemographics, physical and health conditions were included as explanatory variables. The average adjusted probability (AAP) of experiencing each barrier was predicted using multivariable and panel multinomial logistic regression analyses. According to the results, the percentage of people experiencing non-financial barriers was much higher than that of people experiencing financial barriers in 2018 (9.6 vs. 2.5%). Women showed higher AAPs of experiencing both non-financial (9.9 vs. 8.3%) and financial barriers (3.6 vs. 2.5%) than men. Men living in the Seoul metropolitan area showed higher AAPs of experiencing non-financial (8.7 vs. 8.0%) and financial barriers (3.4 vs. 2.1%) than those living outside it. Household income showed no significant associations in the AAP of experiencing a non-financial barrier. People with a functional limitation exhibited a higher AAP of experiencing a non-financial barrier, for both men (17.8 vs. 7.8%) and women (17.4 vs. 9.0%), than those without it. In conclusion, people in South Korea, like those in most European countries, fail to meet their healthcare needs more often due to non-financial barriers than financial barriers. In addition, the characteristics associated with non-financial barriers to healthcare differed from those associated with financial barriers. This finding suggests that although financial barriers may be minimised through various policies, a considerable degree of unmet healthcare needs and disparity among individuals is very likely to persist due to non-financial barriers. Therefore, current universal health insurance systems need targeted policy instruments to minimise non-financial barriers to healthcare to ensure effective universal health coverage.
