A report of ethnographic research into how men in nursing view their world
The study OF gender related issues, in particular masculinity in nursing, has always been limited and fragmented. The exploration of the ideological nature of the masculine role as represented by male nurses is assumed to share a relationship with issues such as recruitment (Mackay 1989), professional development (Seccombe and Ball 1992) and leadership (Davies 1995).
