Dear Nurses Round
Readers,
Today we look at the role
gender disproportion play in our profession worldwide.
Nursing as many may see,
is the adequate care of a sick patient irrespective of gender, religion, age,
sexuality and status. Owing to the delicate nature of the job we do, it is
seemed that the major people to have assumed the role of a nurse are the ones
who are “called” as we often say that nursing is a calling. However, rate of
noticeable imbalanced figures in terms of gender in the profession seems to be
a worldwide concern.
Nurses Round took to many
International Nursing organization memberships, Leadership positions in many
nursing agencies, the equivalent female to male nurses in Hospitals both
private and general and several appointments in some governments nursing
positions into account before submitting this article.
The resultant
interviews with employers, points that most of them prefer the female nurse to
the male nurse arguing that they easily can control the former more that the
later.
The admission rate to
schools of nursing in Africa especially is to the alarming rate of 90:10 ratio
in favour of the female gender and the schools holds the commanding flag in the
number of nurses be it female or male who are introduced into the professional
circle at any given period.
Nurses Round would want
to examine the influence of both the female nurses and the male nurses in the
profession so far, with so questions for discussion.
Is the gender imbalance
in the profession as a result of the male counterpart ignorance of the
profession?
One
may argues that in
some countries in Africa, people see a male nurse as a weak male and
discriminate or abuse them verbally. Though the males seems to be who
will drive the profession to its desired destination, as we often
observed that the female counterparts are not taken so serious or into
consideration while so decisions are made into many of the health care
system around the world. This derails the rate at which the profession
is evolving from the early nineties till date.
However, we will like
to hear your views on the solution to this imbalance in the nursing
practitioners figure as well as discuss the positive and negative role of the
gender roles. Recommendations are also wanted as we seek to know if the female
genders are satisfied with the rate of male nurses introduction so far.
Your comments please.
