Abstract

The purpose of the study was to describe male nursing image and to identify factors influencing the image. We performed an integrative review for a total of 12 studies published between 2009 and 2019. We derived four themes of male nurses' self-image: 1) just a nurse, 2) job opportunity, 3) identity ambiguity, and 4) role limitation. The factors influencing male nurses' self-image were derived from three themes, specifically 1) nursing competency, 2) social gender stereotypes, and 3) absence of male nurse role models. We suggested the need to develop various strategies to enhance male nurses' self-image. Further studies should investigate the public image of male nurses to improve their social role and the perception of them.

본 연구의 목적은 남자간호사 이미지와 관련된 연구들을 통합적으로 고찰하여, 남자간호사의 자기 이미지와 영향요인을 알아보기 위함이다. 분석대상 논문은 2009년에서 2019년 사이에 발표된 논문 중 남자간호사의 자기 이미지와 관련된 12개의 논문이다. 우리는 문헌고찰을 통해 남자간호사의 자기 이미지로 1) 그냥 간호사, 2) 기회의 직업, 3) 직업 정체성 모호, 4) 제한된 역할의 4개 주제를 도출되었다. 남자간호사의 자기 이미지에 영향을 미치는 요인은 3개의 주제로 도출되었으며, 구체적으로 1) 간호역량, 2) 사회적 성 고정관념, 3) 남자간호사 롤 모델 부재이다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 남자간호사의 자기 이미지를 향상시키기 위한 전략 마련이 필요하며, 추후 남자간호사의 사회적 역할과 인식 제고를 위해 남자간호사의 대중적 이미지를 알아보는 연구가 필요하다.
