“…Furthermore, patients may respond differently to male and female nurses or perceive them differently (e.g., they might view female nurses as more empathic), which has been demonstrated regarding healthcare practitioners (Shin et al, 2015). Many adolescents entering psychiatric inpatient units have experienced trauma (Belivanaki et al, 2017; Reay et al, 2015; Vidal et al, 2020) and perpetrators of severe physical and sexual violence/abuse towards children and adolescents are more likely to be male (Hurren et al, 2018; US Department of Health and Human Services, 2005). Some patients re‐enact/re‐experience trauma, which means nurses need to be aware of patients who have a history of re‐enacting trauma, particularly when male nurses are on shift (Cutcliffe et al, 2018; Frewen & Lanius, 2006; Lahav et al, 2019; Penning & Collings, 2014; Vidal et al, 2020).…”
