“…Group training should be conducted once a week; furthermore, long-term planning arrangements should be made. Moreover, managers need to take full account of gender differences in the profession and make use of "person-job matching" [46], which could help them make full use of their own advantages and meet their career expectations according to their personal situation, professional ability, and personality characteristics of male nurses.…”

Purpose This study was to investigate the work experience of newly recruited male nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods With a phenomenological approach, this qualitative study was adopted semi-structured interviews by phone or video calls. A total of 9 male nurses newly recruited for the COVID-19 wards in Chinese hospitals were interviewed for this study. And Colaizzi's method was applied for evaluation in the data analysis. Results Based on our findings, three themes were extracted. Firstly, the newly recruited male nurses showed negative emotions at the beginning of COVID-19 epidemic, which was caused by changesin working conditions and content, but also prompted the nurses to change the way of coping with the crisis. Secondly, they gradually mastered the working skills and psychological training tocope with COVID-19, and developed a positive attitude towards life and a high sense of professional responsibility. Finally, we learned about their needs to respond to public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion COVID-19 is a disaster for all of humanity. The newly recruited male nurses are an important force in emergency rescue. Although they suffered from short-term negative emotions, they quickly adapted to the crisis. In order to better prepare for future emergencies, the disaster response capacity of newly recruited male nurses needs to be further improved. In addition, newly recruited male nurses have a strong demand for timely and personalized career development guidance.

“…(Rajacich et al, 2013, p. 77) Sometimes male nurses utilised their male dominance as in social context to become more visible. They used physicians' superiority to their benefits, held an authoritarian position over female nurses, prevented female nurses from acts of sexual harassment from patients and fulfilled unprofessional requests from female nurses to gain their support (Asakura & Watanabe, 2011;Cheng et al, 2018;Zeb et al, 2020). These strategies were considered unusual, but perceived as useful to become more visible (Asakura & Watanabe, 2011;Cheng et al, 2018).…”

Introduction: Patient, nurse and public discrimination against male nurses is welldocumented. Male nurses encounter challenges in degendering nursing and becoming more visible nursing professionals. However, little is known about male nurses' decisions and strategies to address issues concerning gender-based discrimination and professional visibility. Aims:To develop a comprehensive understanding of the approaches of male nurses to degender nursing and become more visible in the profession.Methods: A metasynthesis using the PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive literature search was performed PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science and Scopus databases. The search terms included 'lived experiences', 'male nurses', 'clinical practice', 'male educators' and 'male nurse managers'. In total, 16 qualitative studies published from January 2005 to November 2020 were critically appraised and synthesised. Two authors independently extracted data using summary tables. Data were synthesised using thematic synthesis which entails generation of codes and development of descriptive and analytical themes.Results: Male nurses used intrapersonal, interpersonal and strategic adaptation to degender nursing and becoming visible as a nursing professional. These approaches entailed goal-directed behaviours, relationship-building strategies and positive and negative manipulation of resources. Discussion:The approaches to degender nursing enabled men to prove their worth as competent nursing professionals, lessen the gendered stigmatisation and receive autonomy and respect. Conclusions:Degendering the gendered stigmatisation of nursing and becoming a visible nursing professional is essential for male nurses to promote diversity in the profession. Male nurses used both negative and positive approaches to gain recognition, respect and autonomy. They continued their struggles to promote the role of men as nurses.Relevance to Clinical Practice: Nursing institutions and regulatory bodies could use the findings to develop conducive environments to degender nursing and increase male nurses' visibility. Future male nurses could use the identified positive approaches

Background Caring is mostly considered a characteristic of women and men are considered hard‐hearted. In the nursing profession, female nurses are considered more caring than male nurses which influence patients' views about the care provided by male nurses. There is limited knowledge about patients' beliefs and views about caring behaviors of male nurses. Purpose To explore caring behaviors of male nurses from patients' perspectives. Design A descriptive qualitative study drawn from a larger convergent mixed methods study Methods Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of 15 patients from 14 medical surgical units of three private hospitals in Islamabad, Pakistan. Inductive thematic analysis was used for data analysis. Findings Patients reported that male nurses are respectful, considerate, good listener, unbiased, and supportive. Conclusion These findings delineated five tangible caring behaviors that patients expect from the male nurses who care for them. It suggests that patients have specific expectations from their male nurses for providing effective nursing care. The male nurses can foster these behaviors to enhance their relationships with their patients.
