In this issue of JAMA Surgery, Castillo-Angeles and colleagues report on the perspective and experience of surgical program directors (PDs) on paternity leave. We agree with the article’s major conclusions, which highlight a stigma surrounding child-rearing, with the potential to negatively impact children. We also agree that fathers and nonbirthing partners in surgical residency programs are unlikely to take their full leave opportunities. We postulate that there are additional facets than stigma though, 2 of which are demonstrated in the article: misunderstanding of leave policies and potential misadvising about leave policies.

育儿假——我们是在实施观点而不是政策吗？

在本期 JAMA Surgery 中，Castillo-Angeles 及其同事报告了外科项目主管 (PD) 对陪产假的看法和经验。我们同意这篇文章的主要结论，其中强调了围绕育儿的耻辱，有可能对儿童产生负面影响。我们还同意，外科住院医师计划中的父亲和未生育的伴侣不太可能获得全额休假机会。我们假设除了污名之外还有其他方面，文章中展示了其中两个方面：对休假政策的误解和对休假政策的潜在误解。
