目的:探讨大学护理专业学生和学术人员对性别多样性增加可能给护理专业带来什么的看法。
方法:对来自两所大学护理学院的学生和学术人员进行的探索性研究。
方法:两所大学护理学校的学生和工作人员被邀请参加匿名在线调查(2022年10月至11月)。该调查侧重于护理和患者护理中的性别多样性,询问受访者关于性别多样性的现有障碍,并邀请有关增加护理中性别多样性的想法。调查结果有助于提出问题,通过半结构化的一对一访谈(2023年1月至2月),进一步探讨了护理中性别多样性的观点和想法。
结果:几乎,三分之二(64%,n=69)的调查受访者强烈同意/同意,护理中缺乏性别多样性对向性别多样化的社会提供护理产生了负面影响。大多数(84%,n=90)强烈同意/同意,护理人员队伍中性别多样性的增加将对护理做出积极贡献。四分之三(75%,n=74)强烈同意/同意与性别更多样化的护理人员一起工作将丰富他们作为护士的经验。采访数据中出现了三个主题:共同的刻板印象;通过知识改善护理,更好的关系和性别多样化的劳动力的存在;一种欢迎的文化:建议未来的变化。
结论:参与这项研究的大多数人都认为,在护理中更大的性别多样性会带来好处。这项研究提供了对护理环境中缺乏性别多样性的见解,强调这可能会如何影响患者护理,并建议采取行动使护理成为更具包容性的职业。
■提出了实用的解决方案,包括在广告和招聘活动中提高跨性别和非二元人员的知名度,以确保护理被视为“所有人”的职业选择。包括在大学申请表上考虑代词的空间,医院文件和姓名徽章。所有护理人员都应考虑不分性别的头衔和制服,在大学和医院环境中,应该为工作人员和患者提供更多不分性别的厕所。
结论:这项研究解决了护理中缺乏性别多样性的问题,并探讨了性别多样性的增加可能给护理行业带来什么。主要发现是:(I)不到十分之一(9%,n=12)的受访者形容他们的同事团队“性别差异极大”。(ii)大多数(84%,n=90)强烈同意/同意,护理人员队伍中性别多样性的增加将是护理的积极属性。(iii)四分之三的75%(n=74)强烈同意/同意与性别更多样化的护理人员一起工作将丰富他们作为护士的经验。(iv)护理中仍然存在许多陈规定型观念,解决这些陈规定型观念对于使该行业更具包容性很重要。(v)护士的性别会影响他们提供的护理。(vi)性别更加多样化的劳动力将更好地反映其所服务的人口。(vii)这项研究将对全球护理行业产生影响。

OBJECTIVE: To explore university nursing students and academic staff\'s perceptions of what increased gender diversity might bring to the
nursing profession.
METHODS: An exploratory study with students and academic staff from two university nursing schools.
METHODS: Students and staff in two university nursing schools were invited to participate in an anonymous online survey (October-November 2022). The survey focused on gender diversity within nursing and patient care, asking respondents about existing barriers to gender diversity and inviting ideas on increasing gender diversity within nursing. The survey findings helped inform questions, which were used to further explore views and thoughts of gender diversity within nursing through semi-structured one-to-one interviews (January-February 2023).
RESULTS: Nearly, two-thirds (64%, n = 69) of survey respondents strongly agreed/agreed that the lack of gender diversity in nursing negatively impacted delivering care to a gender-diverse society. Most (84%, n = 90) strongly agreed/agreed that increased gender diversity within the nursing workforce would positively contribute to
nursing. Three-quarters (75%, n = 74) strongly agreed/agreed that working with a more gender-diverse nursing workforce would enrich their experience as a nurse. Three themes emerged from the interview data: shared stereotypes; improved care through knowledge, better relations and the presence of a gender-diverse workforce; a culture of welcome: suggested changes for the future.
CONCLUSIONS: Most of those who participated in the study believe there are benefits to be gained from greater gender diversity within nursing. This study provides insight into the lack of gender diversity in the nursing environment, highlights how this might impact patient care and suggests actions to make nursing a more inclusive profession.
UNASSIGNED: Practical solutions were suggested, including the greater visibility of trans and non-binary persons in advertisement and recruitment campaigns to ensure nursing is viewed as a career choice for \"all\". Including a space for considered pronouns on university application forms, hospital documentation and name badges. Gender-neutral titles and uniforms should be considered for all nursing staff, and more gender-neutral toilets should be made available for staff and patients in university and hospital settings.
CONCLUSIONS: This study addressed the lack of gender diversity in nursing and explored what an increase in gender diversity might bring to the
nursing profession. The main findings were: (i) Less than a tenth (9%, n = 12) of respondents described their team of colleagues as being \"extremely gender diverse\". (ii) Most (84%, n = 90) strongly agreed/agreed that increased gender diversity within the nursing workforce would be a positive attribute to
nursing. (iii) Three-quarters 75% (n = 74) strongly agreed/agreed that working with a more gender-diverse nursing workforce would enrich their experience as a nurse. (iv) Many stereotypes still exist in nursing and tackling them is important to make the profession more inclusive. (v) A nurse\'s gender can impact the care they provide. (vi) A more gender-diverse workforce would better reflect the population it serves. (vii) This research will have an impact on the
nursing profession globally.
UNASSIGNED: The consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative studies (COREQ) was used as a guide throughout data collection and analysis.
UNASSIGNED: Every step of the study, including the survey and interview schedule, was co-constructed using an iterative approach with service users, students and staff who had personal experience of gender diversity and were a core part of the study team.
