Why do males prefer nursing?<p>Erkekler hemşireliği neden tercih ediyor?
Journal Title: Journal of Human Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 13, Issue 2
Abstract
This descriptive study was conducted to determine the reasons why male students would choose the nursing profession. The study sample consisted of 71 students who agreed to participate in the study. It was found that 78.9% of the students marked nursing as their 1st to 5th choice and 66.2% of them were happy to study in the nursing department. The top reason for selecting the profession was that their families and community wished them to do so. Family and community encouragement and better employment opportunities were the first two factors that influenced male students in choosing their profession and they stated that they were pleased to study nursing. Although their being content with nursing education was positive in the sense that it showed that male students have internalized bearing the title of a nurse, the fact that they acted upon the wishes of their family and community rather than deciding on their career on their own may lead to problems in the future including being dissatisfied with the profession. ÖzetAraştırma erkek öğrencilerin hemşirelik mesleğini seçme nedenlerini belirlemek amacıyla tanımlayıcı tipte yapılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 71 öğrenci araştıranın örneklemini oluşturmuştur. Öğrencilerin; %78.9’unun hemşireliği 1.-5. sırada tercih ettikleri ve %66.2’sinin hemşirelik bölümünde okumaktan memnun olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin mesleği seçmelerinin ilk nedeni ailem ve çevrem istediği için olarak belirlenmiştir. Erkek öğrencilerin meslek seçimlerinde aile ve çevre isteği ve iş olanağının yüksek olması nedenlerinin ilk iki sırada yer aldığı ve hemşirelik okumaktan memnun oldukları belirtmişlerdir. Hemşirelik okumaktan memnun olmaları erkek öğrencilerin hemşire unvanını benimsediklerini göstermesi açısından olumlu olmasına karşın meslek seçimlerinde aile ve çevre isteği kişinin meslek seçimine kendisinin karar vermemesi nedeniyle gelecekte meslekte doyum sağlayamama gibi bir soruna neden olabileceğini düşündürmektedir.
