“…16 In a study of pharmacists by Broedel-Zaugg and colleagues, female respondents experienced significantly more gender harassment and unwanted sexual attention than men. 11 However, there were no differences between male and female respondents in the total number of occurrences of sexual coercion. Among nurse respondents of a survey in the United Kingdom, approximately one in 20 nurses cited being sexually harassed within the last three years and more male (7%) than female (5%) nurses experienced the harassment.…”

“…[3][4][5][6][7][8] A literature search across medical disciplines within the last 25 years indicates sexual harassment is widespread throughout the health care disciplines, including among nurses, physicians, chiropractors, physical therapists, dentists, and pharmacists. 7,[9][10][11][12] Many learners may experience these scenarios as students or interns before graduating in the health profession fields. 8,13,14 Given the risks of sexual harassment facing health care providers across the disciplines, what are we as a pharmacy profession doing to prepare our students and residents to not only manage their learning and work environments safely, but to be an agent of change in this environment?…”

“…Based on the limited studies available regarding pharmacists by Fjortfot and colleagues and Broedel-Zaugg and colleagues, approximately 50% of female pharmacist survey respondents noted some form of sexual harassment during their career, with almost equal numbers of incidents involving patients, providers, and colleagues. 10,11 Approximately 17% of physicians in a 2019 survey in the United Kingdom noted harassment originating from patients. 17 The unique dynamic of the provider-patient relationship and ineffective coping strategies commonly reported by providers indicate that sexual harassment is a complex problem that health care providers can struggle to effectively resolve or manage.…”

Research indicates widespread sexual harassment has not significantly decreased in health care over the last several decades. Attention focused on sexual harassment in the last few years has prompted a renewed conversation in health care about these complex issues and the unique challenges they present. Given the significant implications for individuals, organizations, and patient care, addressing harassment should be a priority. Pharmacy schools and supporting pharmacy organizations should proactively address sexual and gender harassment and provide education about this issue.

Purpose -This article aims to examine the sexual harassment experiences of US policewomen by using the Sexual Experience Questionnaire (SEQ) and asking them to describe incidents in which male colleagues' behavior made them uncomfortable. It seeks to identify areas of discomfort and patterns of response in the context of current harassment policies. Design/methodology/approach -A convenience sample included 117 female law enforcement officers in the USA from two sheriff, two police, and one state police department. Participants completed surveys in small groups with the researcher present. Findings -Study participants were especially concerned about male colleagues' view that women could not "do the job". Sexual harassment policies and the integration of women into work groups with men influenced how women viewed and reacted to discomforting behaviors.Research limitations/implications -The findings are consistent with those from a broader national sample and international research. Further study of the effects of US women's tolerance of sexual joking and remarks is needed. Practical implications -Organizational efforts to stop sexual harassment seemed to have brought some benefits to policewomen, as has their integration into all facets of police work. Still, women's concern that male colleagues think they cannot "do the job" persists, and tolerated harassment may negatively affect some women. Originality/value -The qualitative data analysis shows the complexity of women's tolerance of behaviors in the workplace in order to fit in, and how working along with men heightens concerns about being seen as incapable of doing certain aspects of the job well.

“…It is pos sible that no male SLP/As received a questionnaire as a result of the sampling procedure which did not take into account the few male SLP/As in South Africa. The lack o f information with re gard to the experiences o f male SLP/As in South Africa is an important limitation o f this study, given the number o f studies that have demonstrated that male health care workers experience ISB (Broedel-Zaugg et al, 1999;M adison & Minichiello, 2001;McComas et al, 1993).…”

The experience of inappropriate sexual behaviours (ISB) by healthcare professionals has been identified internationally as a serious issue. This study investigated the extent of ISB directed towards speech-language pathologists and/or audiologists (SLP/As) in South Africa. As well as the sources and the effects of ISB, the responses of the SLP/As, and the perceptions of the SLP/As with regard to their ability to manage ISB experiences. Fifty-six qualified SLP/As and 62 student SLP/As completed a questionnaire based on similar studies conducted in Canada and New Zealand. Most of the respondents had experienced ISB, mostly of a mild to moderate nature, at some point in their careers, and some had experienced severe ISB in the workplace. ISB occurred in a variety of work contexts. The sources of ISB included clients and/or their family members, as well as colleagues and employers. A range of personal and work-related effects resulted and the respondents took the least assertive strategy' in the management of their ISB experiences. The results reflected that SLP/As in South Africa are poorly informed with regard to their legal rights and responsibilities, as well as strategies to deal with unwanted sexually related experiences. ISB ought to be recognised as a serious issue in clinical practice in South Africa by SLP/As, professional bodies as well as training institutions. The results are in line with previous research on ISB experiences by SLP/As and other healthcare professionals.
