Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine job recognition of female nurses and perceived image of male nurses, and to investigate predictive factors affecting this perceived image. Methods: A survey was conducted between September and October 2015 with 143 female clinical nurses who worked at hospitals. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 21.0 correlation and multiple regression analyses. Results: The findings of this study were as follows : Female nurses recognition had positive correlations with images of male nurses. Social image(r=.41, p<.001), professional image(r=.45, p<.001), and nursing job prospects(r=.49, p<.001) were significantly correlated with perceived image of male nurses. Nursing job prospect(${\beta}=.193$, p=.049), perception that male nurses were suitable for their jobs(${\beta}=.329$, p<.001), mass media experience related to male nurses(${\beta}=.244$, p<.001), social image(${\beta}=.225$, p=.009) and professional image(${\beta}=.191$, p=.021) explained 42.7% of the variance in image of male nurses. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that nursing education and research should find concrete ways to improve perceived image of male nurses. It will enhance the quality of nursing service by improving male nurses' communication and collaboration with female nurses.

여성이 대다수인 간호전문직에 남자간호사가 점차 증가하고 있으나, 그들은 성 고정관념에 따른 사회적 장벽에 부딪히며, 부서배치 등에서 차별을 경험하고 있었다. 본 연구는 병원 종사자들을 대상으로 성 역할 정체감과 성 고정관념이 남자간호사에 대한 편견에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 시도되었다. 연구 결과 양성성 집단은 성 고정관념과 남자간호사에 대한 편견이 다른 집단에 비해 낮았으며, 병원종사자들은 남자 간호사들이 일반인들에게 낯설고 생소하며, 응급실, 중환자실, 수술실 같은 병원의 특수 부서에서 주로 일할 것이라는 편견을 가지고 있었고, 성 고정관념은 남자간호사에 대한 편견에 양의 상관관계가 있었다. 따라서 의료기관은 남자간호사에 대한 편견을 해소하기 위해 양성 평등적인 조직문화를 구축하기 위한 계획을 수립하여 성 고정관념을 탈피하기 위해 노력하고, 간호조직 내에서 남성과 여성이 동등한 기회를 부여받을 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the adaptation experience of male nurses working in general wards. Methods: Experiential data was collected from 16 general ward nurses through in-depth interviews. Participants were selected from male nurses working in the general wards with over one year of clinical experience at a tertiary university hospital. The main question was "Can you describe your adaptation experience in the general ward as a nurse?" All interviews were recorded and transcribed, then analyzed using Colaizzi's method. Results: Four categories were derived from the analysis: 'difficulties from task adaptation by characteristics', 'limited nursing situation and circumstance as a male nurse', 'efforts to adapt at general nursing unit', and 'self-worth, and worry about something as a male nurse'. Conclusion: Male nurses had a difficulty adapting to work in wards due to lack of multi-tasking skills, as well as some social prejudice or negative views on male nurses. Establishing reasonable guidelines for male nurses in practice, promoting their responsibilities to patients, developing mentoring programs, and reassessing the policy of assigning male nurses to general wards are recommended to help in better adaptation.
