摘要
背景:对护理人员中男性的误解可能会影响招聘和保留,进一步使护理人员中的性别多样性不平衡长期存在。识别误解并实施早期干预策略以解决这些根深蒂固的刻板印象仍然具有挑战性,但对于支持开始护理职业的学生至关重要。目的:编制并评价“护理中男性性别误解”(GEMINI)量表的心理测量特征。设计:横断面调查。方法:于2021年7月至9月对澳大利亚16所护理机构的本科护理专业预注册护理学生进行调查。有17项自我报告的双子座量表测量了男性在护理方面的性别误解。结果:在完成的1410份调查中,683名(45%)女性的数据用于探索性因子分析,显示出单因素结构;727名(47%)男性的数据用于17项GEMINI量表的验证性因子分析,显示出良好的模型拟合。量表具有较高的内部一致性(Cronbach’s alpha为0.892)。男性有更高的性别误解(p p = 0.002);(b)在课程注册的最后一年(p = 0.016);(c)从事与健康相关的有偿工作(p = 0.002)的性别误解较低。结论:GEMINI量表是一种稳健、有效、可靠且易于管理的工具,可用于评估护理中对男性的误解,这些误解可能会影响学习成绩和保留。识别和解决误解的具体因素可以为有针对性的策略提供信息,以支持这些学生的保留和减少流失。影响陈述:性别歧视危害护理,以及在该行业工作的男性和女性。需要招募和留住男性进入护理行业,以培养男性榜样并使劳动力多样化,但这受到流行文化中的负面描述和社会中根深蒂固的误解的阻碍。
Development and psychometric testing of the gender misconceptions of men in nursing (GEMINI) scale among nursing students.
Background: Misconceptions about men in nursing may influence recruitment and retention, further perpetuating the gender diversity imbalance in the nursing workforce. Identifying misconceptions and implementing early intervention strategies to address these deep-rooted stereotypes remain challenging but is considered critical to support students who are commencing a nursing career.
Objective: To develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of the 'Gender Misconceptions of meN in nursIng (GEMINI) Scale.
Design: Cross-sectional survey.
Methods: Pre-registration nursing students enrolled in undergraduate nursing programmes across 16 nursing institutions in Australia were surveyed from July to September 2021. The 17-item self-report GEMINI Scale measured the gender misconceptions of men in nursing.
Results: Of the 1410 completed surveys, data from 683 (45%) women were used for exploratory factor analysis showing a one factor structure, while data from 727 men (47%) were used for confirmatory factor analysis of the 17-item GEMINI Scale, which showed a good model fit. The scale demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha of 0.892). Men were found to have higher gender misconceptions (p < 0.001) while respondents who: (a) identified nursing as their first career choice (p = 0.002); (b) were in their final year of programme enrolment (p = 0.016); and (c) engaged in health-related paid work (p = 0.002) had lower gender misconceptions.
Conclusion: The GEMINI Scale is a robust, valid, reliable, and easy to administer tool to assess misconceptions about men in nursing, which may potentially influence academic performance and retention. Identifying and addressing specific elements of misconceptions could inform targeted strategies to support retention and decrease attrition among these students.
Impact statement: Genderism harms nursing, as well as the men and women working in the profession. Recruitment and retention of men into nursing is needed to cultivate male role models and diversify the workforce, however this is impeded by negative portrayals in popular culture and misconceptions entrenched in society.
