Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of female nurses who are working with the male nurse as a colleague in the clinical settings.
Methods: Eleven female nurses who were working with a male nurse over six months were interviewed, and the data were analyzed by using the Giorgi`s phenomenological method.
Results: Six main meanings and nineteen themes emerged through this study. The six main meanings were as follows; prejudice against male nurses` roles, difficulties in establishing collaboration and trust as a peer, deficit of intimacy due to inappropriate attitude, weakening stereotypes ideas about male nurses, permissive mind of gender difference and individuality, expectations to the male nurses` contributions to nursing profession.
Conclusion: These results could be utilized in the development of effective strategies to improve the male nurses` adaptation to the nursing clinical settings.
