Abstract

Driven by overwhelming numerical dominance of women in the role of nurses, nursing profession over the last two centuries has been largely scripted with gendered characterizations. However, nuances that shape the language and wording choices that are evoked when describing the stereotypes targeting male nurses remain relatively unexplored. Our current research examined the way 117 female non-nursing and nursing students in Canada characterized male nurses using open-ended self-report measures and thematic qualitative analyses. We contribute to the literature on nursing, gender, and stereotypes by analyzing the personal attitudes and stereotypes held by young female students toward male nurses. Social role theory and the stereotype content model provided the theoretical underpinnings to explore and explain emergent stereotypes and stereotype content. Our findings suggest that students generate more communal, high-warmth characteristics for male nurses than agentic characteristics, suggesting possible paternalistic prejudice toward men in nursing.
护理中的男性:基于社会角色理论和刻板印象内容模型的学生对男护士刻板印象的定性研究
在过去的两个世纪里,由于女性在护士角色中的压倒性数量优势,护理职业在很大程度上被性别化了。然而,在描述针对男护士的刻板印象时,塑造语言和措辞选择的细微差别仍然相对未被探索。我们目前的研究考察了加拿大117名女性非护理和护理学生使用开放式自我报告测量和专题定性分析的方式来描述男性护士。我们通过分析年轻女学生对男护士的个人态度和刻板印象,为护理,性别和刻板印象的文献做出贡献。社会角色理论和刻板印象内容模型为探索和解释浮现刻板印象和刻板印象内容提供了理论基础。我们的研究结果表明,学生对男护士产生了更多的公共的、高温暖的特征,而不是代理特征,这表明在护理中可能存在对男性的家长式偏见。
