abstract: 'Background: The evolution of nursing education into an academic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
curriculum and the growing interest of men in nursing have been
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significant landmarks in the development of a `female'' occupation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chilean nursing is considered as the leading example of nursing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
education in Latin America, demanding a five-year training on a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
full-time university programme. The consequences of education, however,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are assumed as more egalitarian opportunities, disregarding the latent
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
replication of structures that perpetuate inequalities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Objective: To comprehend the socialisation of male nursing students and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
its relation with their masculine identity and the construction of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequalities in nursing education.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods: We draw upon interviews undertaken with beginner and advanced
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nursing students from a Chilean university. Approval was obtained from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the relevant Ethics Committee. The data were organised to allow the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
development of concepts by using the Grounded Theory approach.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results: The analysis uncovers paradoxical results of nursing education
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and its ineffectiveness in preventing gender-based inequalities. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
interest in empowering nursing politically may lead to favour an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increasing number of men entering nursing in ways that facilitate male
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
students'' progress. Furthermore, there exist discourses of compassion
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that feed consideration for male students, engendering in the process
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the prospect of professional success and the gravitation into strategic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
positions in the employment market. These are mechanisms that reproduce
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
earlier gender-based inequalities in nursing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conclusions: In the light of the social reproduction theory, the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
academisation of Chilean nursing seems to be built upon historical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender asymmetries. Although the interest of men in embracing a career
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in nursing may have a meaningful resonance with the transformation of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
contemporary society, this process needs a judicious examination in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
order to protect academic integrity and, ultimately, prevent the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reproduction of those inequalities in question. This analysis offers a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
perspective for understanding social patterns embedded in the practice
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of nursing education in Chile and elsewhere. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All
