Abstract

This research paper is of a 'mixed method' research design: the quantitative analysis covering general data and the current condition of male nurses, the qualitative analysis being used on interview transcript data. The research subjects are 19 male nurses who work at a hospital and 29 female nurses who are doing Masters degrees in "J" province of the Republic of Korea. The data collection period was March 25 to April 1, 2015. The quantitative data was analyzed with SPSS WIN 19.0 software while the qualitative data was analyzed according to the 'contents analysis' method. The results show that the satisfaction of male participants in their profession is higher than average. The item 'growth as a professional' was rated highest as a satisfying aspect of working as a nurse. A difference was observed in the points of view of male and female participants, however, both male and female nurses have a positive view of male nurses which over comes traditional stereotypes. These results will be used to establish a positive image of nurses across genders.

본 연구는 남자간호사의 연구 현황과 동향에 대한 고찰과 양적 자료 및 질적 자료의 분석이 함께 결합되어 진행된 혼합연구설계(Mixed Method Research Design)이다. 연구대상은 J도의 일개 상급종합병원에서 근무하는 남자 간호사 19명과 일개 간호학과 대학원에 재학 중인 여자간호사 29명으로 2015년 3월25일부터 4월 1일까지 자료 수집을 하였으며, 수집된 양적 자료 분석은 SPSS WIN 19.0 프로그램을 이용하였고, 질적 자료는 내용분석방법을 이용하였다. 연구결과 남자간호사의 간호직에 대한 만족정도는 '보통 이상'으로 나타났으며, '지적인 전문가로 성장한다는 것'이 간호업무 수행 시 가장 만족스러움으로 나타났다. 질적 자료 분석결과 남녀 간호사가 남자간호사를 바라보는 관점의 차이는 있었으나 남녀 간호사 모두에게서 남자간호사에 대하여 성고정관념을 넘어서는 긍정적인 관점을 가지고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구결과는 바람직한 간호사의 이미지 정립을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다.
