Nursing has evolved significantly over the past few years. Through history, both strategies and expertise have become more professional as early as in the undergraduate stage. The continuous process of professionalization has even allowed for the entry of the male gender to the profession.
Aim. The purpose of this research is to describe the perception that people have about caregiving in the nursing area according to how gender roles are seen by nursing professionals and students as well as by non-professional caregivers.
Materials and methods. A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted, consisting of interviews to 5 users of health services, 5 nursing students and 5 nurses.
Results. Our findings indicate that women are still prone to household activities only, leaving employment as a secondary option, whereas for men, having a formal job is the priority and performing household chores is secondary, thus being seen as an authority figure. Meanwhile, women who have taken the role of providers feed the perceptions that the male nurse is a doctor. For students, there is a framed tendency to gender equity, and for professional nurses, the female nursing activity is more sensitive.
Conclusion. The perception of nursing caregiving is viewed differently depending on the gender role, but there is a preference for the professional activity of female nurses than others. |
