Abstract

|
Purpose: The study aim was to examine Korean TV documentaries featuring nurses and to understand how the image of nurses has changed over time.
Methods: Forty-one Korean documentaries featuring nurses were selected. The qualitative content analysis method of Elo and Kyngas (2008) was used to identify the images of nurses.
Results: Three themes emerged: ¡°emphasis on the image of being a doctor¡¯s assistant and caring person,¡± ¡°image of kindness prevailing among the diverse roles of nurses,¡± and ¡°reports on the poor labor conditions behind the positive images of nurses.¡± The image of nurses has gradually changed from performing a passive and auxiliary role to functioning as health care professionals. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, documentaries suggested that the poor labor conditions of nurses should be improved.
Conclusion: Active publicity of nurses and nursing communities is needed using documentaries as a resource to inform the public of the various roles of nurses and promote the image of nurses as professionals.
