| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 社會學系 === 98 === Nursing has always been seen as women’s work. Since the man join in the nursing career, there are many researches about the male nurses and most of the researches are concentrating on how the gender stereotype influences male nurse to do their work. Also, many researches about the male nursing student are concentrating on how the male nursing students influenced by the bad side of the stereotype when they are in school. As far as the female nurses/nursing students with lower social status have always been seen as the nurse by nature, their situations influenced by the gender has few to been researched.
Therefore the study is using qualitative research and gender scheme to analyze the process of how the male/female nursing students interacting with all kinds of people in school, including teacher, female nurse, patient and their family, etc. That’s in order to understand how the gender factor influences on the male/female nursing students’ studying experiences and what’s the social meaning it presents.
The results of study show that in the male-superiority society, nursing education also has the condition of valuing men and belittling women. Therefore male nursing students have more privileges in learning process. The feminized stereotype about nursing possessed by the society also influences teachers and nurses to treat male nursing student with lower standard of nursing skill than female nursing student. Moreover, in clinical, male nursing student also uses the advantage of male image to help nurses or other nursing students to cope with difficult patients. The teachers also thought that male nursing students have a bright future in getting promoted in the workplace and even give them the mission to level up nursing status. In the performance of practical training, male nursing students also have more attention and approving than female nursing students. By comparison, female nursing students’ situation needs more attention by nursing educators and valued by relevant researchers. Therefore we can educate professional nurses regardless of nurse’ gender.
