"Nurse" is a general term for staff in the nursing industry, but the appellation varies according to gender. Female nurses are called "nurses" and male nurses are called "male nurses". In all kinds of media reports on front-line medical staff, the topic with the word "male nurse" always makes people shine.
When it comes to the profession of nurses, many people think of beautiful ladies in nurse's clothes, and more than 90% of the pictures on the Internet are women. According to related reports, a patient saw that it was a male nurse and asked for a new female nurse.
Why do people think so much about male nurses?
1, the traditional stereotype of the public
Nightingale founded modern nursing principles and norms in 65438+60s. She thinks that men's "rough" hands are not suitable for touching patients, bathing and changing clothes for their disabled bodies; As a professional alliance of nurses, the Royal College of Nursing only recognizes male nurses in 1960. Until 1982, under the pressure of the Supreme Court ruling, some nursing colleges in the United States began to recruit men.
In street interviews, many parents said, "I won't let my son be a nurse. Girls are like this."
Many people have this view because the public's thinking about the social division of labor between men and women is still bound by traditional concepts, which is called "gender occupational stereotype".
Although men and women are equal in modern society, traditional stereotypes will still have an impact on people's ideas and daily behavior. People will classify occupations according to gender, which deepens the occupational gender segregation between men and women. Just like all nurses are women, all physical education teachers are men, and all the midwives are "little brothers".
