The effect of gender-friendliness barriers on perceived image in nursing and caring behaviour among male nursing students.

Abstract：

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:To examine the relationships among nursing students' perceived nursing image, caring behaviours and gender-friendliness barriers to determine whether gender-friendliness barriers affect nursing image and caring behaviour among male nursing students. BACKGROUND:Because caring is typically seen as a feminine trait, male nurses face gender-role strains in the current nursing environment. Gender-friendliness barriers may have an impact on the vital relationship between professional nursing image and caring behaviour. DESIGN:This study used a quantitative and cross-sectional research design. METHODS:Participants were 141 male students who had obtained at least 1 month of clinical practice experience. We collected data using three instruments: The Caring Assessment Report Evaluation Q-sort (CARE-Q), Gender-Friendliness Barriers in Nursing Programs (GFB-NP), and Nursing Image-as a Profession Questionnaire (NIPQ). Data were collected from August 2016-July 2017. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) with bootstrapping was used to test the hypothesis model. RESULTS:The full model results indicated a direct positive and significant path from professional nursing image to caring behaviour (β = 0.47, 95% CI = 0.32 to 0.61, t = 6.19, p < 0.001). Gender-friendliness barriers had a direct and significant negative relationship between professional nursing image (β = -0.31, 95% CI = -0.49 to -0.12, t = 3.17, p < 0.01) and caring behaviour (β = -0.18, 95% CI = -0.35 to -0.02, t = 2.18, p < 0.05). In addition, the variable of student-perceived barriers to gender-friendliness was indirectly and significantly negatively related to caring behaviour (β = -0.15, 95% CI = -0.27 to -0.05, t = 2.57, p < 0.05) through professional nursing image. CONCLUSION:Male nursing students with a higher nursing image engage in greater caring behaviour. Gender-friendliness barriers, however, decrease students' nursing image and caring behaviour. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE:As applied to nursing education, the goal should be to improve male nursing students' caring behaviours and professional nursing image and decrease gender-friendliness barriers.
