Abstract
Historically men have been identified as having caregiver roles in organized nursing throughout history. For example, military and religious orders of men throughout the centuries have provided care to the sick and injured. Despite this history, the role of men in nursing tends to be forgotten.
Male nurses have been a minority group within the nursing profession. Gender and sex role stereotyping are recognized as having the potential to limit the professional development of males within the nursing profession. Dilemmas related to gender role stereotypes seem to be exacerbated when men first enter the maternal – child health (MCH) rotation in their nursing education program. The intimate nature of maternity care and its sexual overtones make male nurses uncomfortable. They may feel that they are intruding on a private pace. They are often anxious about this aspect of care.
Aim of the present study:
The aim of this study was to explore the attitudes of male nursing students towards maternity nursing clinical training.
