Özet:
Research has shown that both men and women gravitate towards gender-norms in high stress environments, similar to those found in a pediatric genetic counseling setting. The field of genetic counseling benefits from studying if gender-norms or gender-roles are present during a genetic counseling session and how genetic counselors address them. This research is based upon the following hypothesis -- if a conjugal family presents in a genetic clinic and adhere strongly to gender-roles, then these roles will be noticed by the genetic counselor and the session has the potential to be tailored to their benefit.
Data was collected using a qualitative questionnaire sent to genetic counselors via the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) website. This questionnaire analyzed three things: if gender-norms are seen more in certain populations, how genetic counselors address gender-norms, and if genetic counselors are more or less likely to alleviate the impact of gender-roles if they exhibit themselves in a mother vs father.
This study found three major themes. The first theme is the importance placed on respecting the family's dynamic and meeting the family where they are at. The second theme is the importance of promoting each parent's autonomy. To find a balance, genetic counselors suggested reframing all choices as, "family decisions". The third theme was the necessity to promote cultural integrity whilst counseling these patients.
Gender-norms are a complex facet that may present during a genetic counseling session. With an ever-changing culture and a society that is constantly altering its values, it is impossible to determine how/if gender-roles will present themselves in the future. Genetic counselors should be prepared to counsel patients whom adhere strongly to gender-roles. This preparation should include discussion of the themes that emerged from the data and possible psychosocial techniques to best counsel these patients.
