Man in traditional female occupations occupations − key study of nursing

Biti moški v tradicionalnem ženskem poklicu je, po izkušnjah urada za enake možnosti, prej prednost kot ovira. Praviloma so moški v tradicionalnih ženskih poklicih uspešnejši. Eden takšnih poklicev, ki je »tipično« ženski, je nedvomno poklic medicinske sestre oziroma zdravstvenika. V zadnjih letih se je zanimanje za ta poklic med moškimi zelo povečalo, saj se prebivalstvo stara in so vedno bolj iskani poklici v negi in zdravstvu. Zahtevnost zdravstvene nege, tehnična, organizacijska znanja ter možnosti osebnostnega razvoja in profesionalnega napredovanja privlačijo moške, da se odločajo za ta poklic. Zanima jih predvsem »adrenalinsko« delo z aparati, delo v intenzivnih enotah, operacijskih sobah, reševalni službi … Povečano zanimanje med moškimi za poklic medicinske sestre je botrovalo izvedbi raziskave na to temo v Splošni bolnišnici Celje. Z raziskavo smo ugotovili, da pri odločitvi za poklice v zdravstveni negi spol ne igra odločilne vloge, prav tako moški izvajalci nege v Splošni bolnišnici Celje niso imeli prednosti pri izboru za delovno mesto. Ugotovili smo tudi, da izmensko delo negativno vpliva na družabno in družinsko življenje. Glede na to, da delajo zdravstveniki v pretežno ženskem kolektivu, niso imeli težav z vključitvijo in tudi odnos nadrejenih (večinoma žensk) je do njih korekten in profesionalen. Kljub temu da je delo medicinskih sester in zdravstvenikov fizično in psihično zelo naporno in da zahteva veliko odrekanj in požrtvovalnosti, mislimo, da je to poklic, ki te bogati in ti nudi veliko notranjega zadovoljstva, ko pomagaš bolnim in trpečim.Man in traditional female occupations occupations − key study of nursing Being a male in traditional female occupation is, according to the experience of the Office for Equal Opportunities, an advantage rather than an obstacle. As a rule, males are more successful in traditional female occupations. One such occupation that is typical female is undoubtedly occupation of a medical nurse. In recent years the interest in this occupation among males increased significantly because the population is getting older and occupations relating to nursing and health care are increasingly sought. Difficulty of nursing, technical, organizational skills and the possibilities of personal development and professional advancement attract males to opt for this occupation. They are interested primarily in adrenaline work with the devices, work in intensive care units, operating rooms, emergency service etc. The increased interest among males for occupation of nurses was the reason for the implementation of research on this topic in Celje General Hospital. Research has shown that by opting for careers in health care gender does not play a decisive role, as male care providers in Celje General Hospital did not have the advantage in the selection for the position. We have also found that shift work has a negative impact on social and family life. Given that male nurses are working in predominantly female collective, they had no problems with integration and the attitude of their superiors (mostly females) is professional. Despite the fact that the work of nurses is physically and mentally very tiring and requires a lot of sacrifice and dedication, we think that this is an occupation that enriches and offers a lot of inner satisfaction when you help the sick and suffering
