国内における男性看護師のキャリア形成に影響する要因についての文献的研究

Abstract

This study aims to examine influential factors for the career development of male nurses through the preceding study analyses. We conducted AND Search with “Male nurse” and “Career” by utilizing ICHUSHI (Bibliographic database) and CiNii (Citation Information by National institute of informatics) available on the Web, then targeted 22 papers in line with the study purpose. We also classified the targeted papers into 7 categories and 23 sub-categories after conducting qualitative/ inductive content analysis in terms of influential factors for the career development of male nurses. 3 categories indicate “Gender awareness”, “Family background” and “Relationship-building between nurses” as a distinctive category of male nurse. Particularly “Gender awareness” and “Family background” is influenced by social awareness of masculinity in the nursing profession. We also found that “Relationship-building between nurses” is a factor of male nurses relevant to a human relationship with female nurses or a majority group. Furthermore, “Factor for identity formation”, “Factor for continuous employment”, “With/without a desire for a strong rise intention”, and “Existence of role model” can be influential factors for the career development of nurses regardless of gender. In addition, “With/without a desire for a strong rise intention” was extracted as a unique research viewpoint. While this is possibly an influential factor for the career development of nurses regardless of gender, we considered that it would influence the consciousness such as advance to graduate school, promotion to specialized nurse or manager, and career advancement.
