“…There has been a steady demand for male nurses ( Aynaci & Gulmez, 2019 ; Younas et al, 2019 ; Zheng et al, 2018 ). Some studies indicated significant advantages for men in nursing, including the potential to achieve higher technical skills in intensive care units and operating theatre, rapid decisions, and physical strength compared with female nurses ( Gedzyk et al, 2019 ; Saleh et al, 2019 ).…”

Purpose: To investigate the changing tendency and influencing factors of the professional identity of male nursing students in 3-year colleges and junior male nurses in China. Background: In China, the majority of nurses are 3-year nursing college graduates, among which male nurses are underrepresented. Many male nurses leave the profession 3 or 4 years after graduation. Little is known about the professional identity of Chinese male nursing students in 3-year colleges and junior male nurses. Methods: This study included 237 male nursing students from a 3-year college and 33 junior male nurses with less than 3 years of experience in China. By using the data collected with the Professional Identity Questionnaire of Nursing Students and through in-depth semistructured interviews from November 2019 to April 2020, t-test, and ANOVA analysis in SPSS22.0 were conducted and thematic analysis was applied to interviews. Results: Compared with undergraduate nursing students, Chinese male nursing students in 3-year colleges had a better professional identity, displaying a declining tendency with grades. Junior male nurses reported the lowest professional identity. Demographic factors such as family residence and presence of relatives in medical service were positively related to professional identity. Low professional identity was related to heavy workload as well as gender stereotypes. Two unique contextual factors influenced the professional identity: (a) curriculum setting and (b) nurse exams. Conclusion: College education and initial working experience were critical to professional identity formation for male nurses. Appropriate measures need to be taken to improve professional identity and promote gender diversity.

“…Kadınların egemen olduğu bir ortamda çalışırken cinsiyet ayrımcılığının yaşanması, mesleğin dişileşmesi ve hemşirelik mesleğinde erkek rol modellerinin eksikliği nedeni ile sahada erkek hemşireler ve erkek hemşirelik öğrencileri ciddi sorunlar yaşamaktadır. Bu olumsuzluklara rağmen cinsiyet rollerinin hemşirelik mesleğine karşı güçlü duramayacağı ile ilgili güçlü bir inanç vardır (12,13). Zamanla erkek hemşire sayılarının arttığı göz önüne alınacak olursa, bu sorunların ve bu sorunlara olan bakış açılarının zaman içinde gelişiminin takip edilmesi, mevcut durumun tanımlanması ve bu duruma özgü yapılacak müdahaleler için büyük bir önem arz etmektedir.…”

The Social Identity Theory (SIT) can provide a lens to investigate intergroup interactions. This study explores how male nurses deal with intergroup tensions and conflicts with patients and physicians when delivering healthcare. Methods: A collaborative qualitative research study was conducted by two research teams, with one from Mainland China and the other from Macau. Twenty-four male nurses were recruited, with 12 from each of the two regions. A similar guide was used by the two teams to conduct in-depth interviews with the participants. Thematic analysis was used, and SIT guided the data analysis and interpretation of the results. Results: Four themes identified are related to nurse/patient relationships: respecting patients' decisions, neglecting minor offenses, defending dignity, taking a dominant position; two themes are related to nurse/physician relationships: rationalizing physicians' superiority over nurses, establishing relationships with physicians by interpersonal interactions. Conclusion: Male nurses avoid confrontation with patients in case of disagreements but take on gender-and profession-based dominance in dealing with intense conflicts to maintain healthcare order. They do not challenge the status hierarchy between nurses and physicians but manage to maintain harmonious relationships with physicians by engaging in interpersonal activities with physicians in leisure times. Implication: Male nurses can take the lead to create inclusive groups to engage patients and physicians in delivering healthcare. The masculine traits of male nurses do not subvert the nurse/physician hierarchy stereotype but strengthen it.
