Male nursing students’ and male nurses’ experiences of working in the female-dominated profession : A general literature study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Idag råder en brist på sjuksköterskor och arbetsbelastningen är hög. Manliga sjuksköterskestudenter och sjuksköterskor har i många år utgjort en minoritet inom yrket och de får inte sällan stå ut med fördomar och förväntningar från samhället vilket i vissa fall kan leda till vantrivsel på arbetsplatsen. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva manliga sjuksköterskestudenter och sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att arbeta inom ett kvinnodominerande yrke. Metod: En allmän litteraturstudie med en induktiv ansats. Arbetet utgjordes av åtta resultatartiklar efter sökningar i databaserna CINAHL, PubMed och Science Direct. Resultat: Fyra huvudkategorier identifierades: Negativa upplevelser med underkategorierna oönskad uppmärksamhet samt fördomar och sociala förväntningar. Positiva upplevelser med underkategorierna anställningsmöjligheter och ekonomisk trygghet samt stolthet. Upplevelser ur ett omvårdnadsperspektiv med underkategorierna försiktighet i samband med omvårdnad och sexuella trakasserier. I den sista kategorin presenterades deltagarnas förslag till ökad manlig rekrytering till sjuksköterskeyrket. Konklusion: De flesta känner sig stolta över sitt arbete och möjligheten att göra skillnad. Trots det möter dem olika fördomar och förväntas leva upp till flera sociala förväntningar. Deltagarna i studierna ifrågasattes ofta över deras yrkesval och deltagarna önskar fler manliga förebilder, vilket hade kunnat resultera i högre rekrytering av män.

Abstract [en]

Background: Today, there is a shortage of nurses and the workload is high. Male nursing students and nurses have for many years constituted a minority within the profession and they often have to deal with prejudices and societal expectations. Purpose: The purpose was to describe the experiences of male nursing students and nurses working within a female-dominated profession. Method: A general literature study with an inductive approach was conducted. The work consisted of eight result articles in the databases CINAHL, PubMed, and Science Direct. Results: Four main categories were identified: Negative experiences with the subcategories unwanted attention, and prejudices and social expectations. Positive experiences with the subcategories employment opportunities and financial security and pride. Experiences from a nursing perspective with the subcategories caution in nursing and sexual accusations. In the last category, the participants' suggestions for increasing male recruitment in to the nursing profession were presented. Conclusion: Most feel proud of their work and the opportunity to make a difference. Despite this, they face various prejudices and are expected to live up to several social expectations. The participants were often questioned about their career, and their wishes for more male role models, which could result in higher recruitment of men.
