Abstract

BACKGROUND

Nursing has dealt with sexual harassment long before the term was coined during the 1970s. The current study investigated sexual harassment of nurses and nursing students in Israel following new legislation against sexual harassment in the workplace.

METHODS

A self-report questionnaire was administered to 281 nurses and 206 nursing students (80% women) from five medical centres in Israel. Seven types of sexual harassment behaviour patterns were evaluated.

FINDINGS

Frequency of sexual harassment decreased as the behaviour became more intimate and offensive. Ninety percent of subjects reported experiencing at least one type of sexual harassment and 30% described at least four types. A significant difference was found between nurses and nursing students. Furthermore, "severe" types of behaviour were experienced by 33% of nurses, in comparison with 23% of nursing students. Women were significantly more exposed than men to "mild" and "moderate" types of sexual harassment, while 35% of men vs. 26% of women were exposed to "severe" types of harassment. However, women responded significantly more assertively than men to "severe" sexual harassment.

CONCLUSIONS

Particular attention is needed when sexual harassment occurs to male students and nurses because they may be subjected to the more offensive sexual conducts and at the same time may lack the ability to respond assertively.

摘要

背景

早在20世纪70年代“性骚扰”一词被创造出来之前，护理行业就已经在应对性骚扰问题了。本研究调查了以色列新出台的职场性骚扰相关立法后护士及护生所遭受的性骚扰情况。

方法

对来自以色列五个医疗中心的281名护士和206名护生（80%为女性）进行了一项自填式问卷调查。评估了七种性骚扰行为模式。

结果

随着性骚扰行为变得更加亲密和冒犯，其发生频率降低。90%的受试者报告称至少经历过一种性骚扰，30%的受试者描述至少经历过四种。护士和护生之间存在显著差异。此外，33%的护士经历过“严重”类型的行为，而护生这一比例为23%。女性比男性更容易遭受“轻度”和“中度”性骚扰，而35%的男性和26%的女性遭受过“严重”性骚扰。然而，在面对“严重”性骚扰时，女性的反应比男性更坚定。
