[[abstract]] 一般人的社會刻板印象認定「護理」為女性職業的場域，但隨著社會觀念的改變及醫療需求之改變，有越來越多的男性護理人員投身進入護理領域，而這些勇於突破各種外界眼光在多為女性的護理界存留下來的男丁格爾們，如何在他們的護理專業成長歷程中開創出屬於男性護理人員的一片天空，有待被進一步看見。 本研究探索的主題為男性護理人員護理專業成長歷程，試圖呈現男性護理人員在護理生涯中的主觀生活經驗，採質性研究中的敘事研究方法，透過二位男性護理人員的深度訪談，以其自我敘說的經驗故事為文本，再以「整體—內容」呈現其經驗故事，以「類別—內容」分析其專業成長歷程中的經驗內涵。 根據本研究所獲得的結論：一、從追尋他人的認同中轉向尋找自身的接納與認同、二、男護士和醫生有較為自然的互動關係、三、男護士與女性護理人員較似姐妹、兄弟的互動關係、四、男護生透過產房實習經驗學習兩性關懷、五、男護士透過病人的死亡經驗增強自己的專業技能、六、男護士將和女病人的身體接觸視為「身體與技術」、七、男護士不影響其在家庭中扮演的角色功能 期待本研究對於男性護理人員所呈現出的主觀經驗，能為護理界及護理同儕，提供於觀看男性護理人員時，有一個嶄新的理解視域。[[abstract]] ＂Nursing,＂ a career field is usually recognized for women only due to the social stereotypes.
