Gender equity: Overview

Abstract
Introduction: Strengthening the safety climate in surgical centres is essential for ensuring care and patient safety, which directly impacts the reduction in the occurrence of adverse events and complications. In this sense, used to strengthen the safety climate in the operating room.

Methods and analysis: A scoping review will be carried out on the basis of the method proposed by the JBI and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) will be applied. The selection of studies, data extraction and synthesis will occur on the basis of the following inclusion criteria: Participants (leaders and health professionals), Concept (strategies for improving the safety climate) and Context (operating room) framework. This scoping review considers studies that address improvement strategies employed to strengthen the safety climate within the operating room. The review encompasses all studies published from 2009 to the present. The results will be presented in a narrative format with tables or diagrams.

Ethics and dissemination: No ethics committee approval is required for this study as it does not involve human participants. The results of the study will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, presentations at scientific congresses and targeted knowledge-sharing sessions with relevant stakeholders.

Abstract
TikTok is a popular social media platform increasingly used to disseminate health information and personal experiences, including among women with pain. Characterising health-related content can help understand how public perceptions are shaped and guide improvements in patient care. Although women with pain often seek information on social media, little is known about social media content pertaining to women's pain. In this study, the content, characteristics, and engagement metrics of the top 100 TikTok videos on women's pain were analyzed. "Women's pain" was searched on TikTok using TikTok's proprietary algorithm. A total of 140 videos were retained for preliminary extraction, and the first 100 that met inclusion criteria were analyzed. Qualitative content analysis of video content was performed, leading to the development of 15 content categories. Of these categories, 66.6% (10/15) represented aspects of women's pain experiences characterized as having a negative tone, including "visual depiction of being in pain," "minimizing/dismissing/gaslighting women's pain," "ineffective pain treatment," "women's pain not being investigated enough," and "assuming women's pain is due to menstruation, motherhood, or mental health issues." Descriptive analyses indicated that the top 100 videos had a combined 338.8 million views and 35.1 million likes. Most videos featured non-healthcare providers' creators (76.0%). Across content categories, the highest engagement rates were observed for the category "women's pain is not understood by others" (15.0%). Overall, strong negative trends were observed in TikTok video content pertaining to women's pain. These findings underscore the urgent need for improved pain care for women experiencing pain. PERSPECTIVE: This article reports on the content, characteristics, and engagement metrics of the top 100 TikTok videos pertaining to women's pain. These findings provide clinicians and researchers with important insights into women's pain experiences and have the potential to inform future research, education, and training initiatives aimed at improving women's pain management.

Abstract
Introduction: The present study aimed at assessing gender balance in the Editorial roles of Critical Care Medicine (CCM) journals.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was performed for assessing the gender distribution in Editorial Board (EB) roles of journals indexed under Clarivate Journal Citation Reports and Scimago Journal & Country Rank. The influences of editorial roles and of journal rank (separated in quartiles) on gender balance were also assessed.

Results: Among 99 screened CCM journals, 92 journals were included. There were 937 women among 4002 EB members (23.4%). We found a greater imbalance among Editors-in-Chief (females: n = 12/104, 11.5%) as compared to editorial roles with lower responsibilities (Senior Editors, n = 22/104, 21.2%, p = 0.04; Associate Editors, n = 208/739, 28.1%, p = 0.0002; EB members, n = 695/3055, 22.7%, p = 0.0038). In a post-hoc analysis conducted separating the journals according to their ranking quartiles (1-2 vs. 3-4), we found no influence of ranking on gender balance. When exploring the gender balance according to the journals' impact factor, there was a majority of men as editors in all 4 quartiles across all EB roles.

Conclusions: We found a large gap in gender distribution across EB members' roles in CCM journals, especially in the role of Editor-in-Chief, regardless of the journal ranking.
