Abstract

|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine job recognition of female nurses and perceived image of male nurses, and to investigate predictive factors affecting this perceived image.
Methods: A survey was conducted between September and October 2015 with 143 female clinical nurses who worked at hospitals. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 21.0 correlation and multiple regression analyses.
Results: The findings of this study were as follows : Female nurses recognition had positive correlations with images of male nurses. Social image(r= .41, p<.001), professional image(r=.45, p<.001), and nursing job prospects(r=.49, p<.001) were significantly correlated with perceived image of male nurses. Nursing job prospect(β=.193, p=.049), perception that male nurses were suitable for their jobs(β=.329, p<.001), mass media experience related to male nurses(β=.244, p<.001), social image(β=.225, p=.009) and professional image(β=.191, p=.021) explained 42.7% of the variance in image of male nurses.
Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that nursing education and research should find concrete ways to improve perceived image of male nurses. It will enhance the quality of nursing service by improving male nurses' communication and collaboration with female nurses.
