摘要

这篇社论批判性地审视了医疗机构对护士的审美规定，强调了有关纹身、穿孔和发型的政策如何成为根植于历史和文化偏见的控制机制。借鉴批判理论、女权主义哲学和劳动研究，讨论揭示了这些规定是如何使一种体面的文化永久化的，这种文化破坏了护理专业人员的真实性、士气和公平。这篇文章倡导重新定义专业精神，将道德存在、包容性和正义置于视觉一致性之上，强调有必要认识和重视护士的不同身份，将其作为有效和富有同情心的护理不可或缺的一部分。

The cost of conformity: Challenging outdated appearance standards in nursing

This editorial critically examines the esthetic regulations imposed on nurses within health care institutions, highlighting how policies governing tattoos, piercings, and hairstyles serve as mechanisms of control rooted in historical and cultural biases. Drawing upon critical theory, feminist philosophy, and labor studies, the discussion reveals how such regulations perpetuate a culture of respectability that undermines authenticity, morale, and equity among nursing professionals. The piece advocates for a redefinition of professionalism that prioritizes ethical presence, inclusivity, and justice over visual conformity, emphasizing the need to recognize and value the diverse identities of nurses as integral to effective and compassionate care.
