Women's health leaders are suitable for national happiness, wealth, innovation, and ethics, but are especially immature resources in low -income and middle -income countries.
Studies published in the Journal BMJ Global Health need to make more sustainable investments to make the most of the potential of women and enjoy the advantages of contributions.
In Time's latest healthlists, 13 out of 20 leader sections are women in the world's most influential 100 health.
However, researchers have found 70 % of the entire healthcare professionals and, despite 90 % of nursing and midwife's labor, accounts for only 25 % of leadership roles.
Female leaders have good evidence to bring aggressive differences between the mother and medical policy and work on health inequality, but it is not clear what their effects on the world's health. did.
To investigate, researchers at the Faculty of Public Health at Johns Hopkins have led a scorping review of a pear -reviewed research.
In total, 137 related articles satisfied the qualified standards and were included in the reviews.
As a result of women's leadership, the research was positive if the evaluated results were improved, increased, or profits. If the evaluated results were reduced, weakened, or worsened, they were tagged as negative.
Most of the reviews on the review reported the effects of women's leadership positive effects. 119 (87 %) was positive and statistically significant.
This review has identified the positive impact on the six fields of female leaders. Financial performance, risk, stability. Innovation; involvement with ethical and sustainable initiatives. As a result of health; reputation, employee establishment, organizational culture and climate including unity and communication of the team. It affects other women's careers and wishes.
Even if the research reporting a mixed findings was changed, especially if it was changed due to other factors, it was still mainly positive results.
“It's not very clear because female leaders have this impact. Especially facing a clear, secret prejudice, discrimination, harassment, family chief norms, etc.,” says researcher. 。
The answers suggested that women may be more effective and more democratic and participating style.
“Beyond the role of leadership in all areas, women's leadership can produce positive results in the whole region,” he wrote.
“However, the success of a female leader cannot be separated from the context they work and the non -supported environment.
They concluded as follows. “Increasing investment in women's leadership in the health sector and sustainable investments can lead to improvements in the results of organizations and their clients.
“Such investments must not only target individual women, but also promote and maintain women's leaders and promote organizational culture that supports independent decision -making.”
In a linked editorial, BMJ's international editor, Dr. Jocalyn Clark, argued that male monopoly on global health leadership is confronted with scientific evidence.
She said that it was even more important to defend gender equality in the current context of the rights, diversity, fairness, and inclusion efforts.
“The change is the responsibility of everyone, not just women,” she wrote. “But obviously, as the number of women who have been appointed as the leader increases, they can promote these biased systems.”
