Cultural constraints on professionalization: the case of nursing in India.

Abstract:

:The development of professionalsim among any group of persons depends on the organization's success in insulating itself from or relating itself to its social context in order to retain a free hand in setting standards and policies. Both structural (i.e., training and professional organization aspects) and attitudinal (i.e., attitudes of the practitioners toward their work and attitudes of the community toward the work of the practitioners) attributes are important in the professionalization of any group. Nursing personnel have not succeeded in professionalization due to a number of cultural constraints. Planners for health services in India have been hindered in their attempts to professionalize medical personnel because the supply of trained personnel is so limited and because these trained personnel are largely concentrated in urban areas, leaving the rural areas to the care of traditional health personnel. Traditional midwives are included in this number. Nursing personnel suffer from inadequate autonomy due to the socialization of girls within the community; they are encouraged to be dependent. The most serious obstacle to professionalization of nursing in India is the low status, low pay, and poor working conditions, offered. All these conditions are culturally determined.
