To describe the attitudes of female nurses and female resident physicians toward each other in surgery, internal medicine, obstetrics-gynecology, and emergency medicine in one Midwest teaching hospital in the United States.
Using a qualitative methodology, 51 women were interviewed in 2002: 28 nurses and 23 residents. Questions were asked to determine if and how female nurses and female residents believed gender was a factor in their interprofessional relationships, how each described their relationship with the other, the kind of assistance female nurses provide to female residents, the kind of assistance sought by female residents, and the strengths and challenges of the female nurse-female resident relationship. Data were analyzed using NUD*IST software.
Consistent with similar studies conducted in Norway and Australia, the results include the following: For female nurses, occupation is secondary to gender, which is to say that gender is the most important link between female nurses and female residents. For female residents, gender is secondary to occupation/occupational status.
With the number of female residents increasing each year in hospitals, this relationship should be further examined so that dysfunctional communication patterns between the two groups can be challenged.
描述美国中西部一家教学医院中，女性护士和女性住院医师在外科、内科、妇产科及急诊科中对彼此的态度。
采用定性研究方法，2002年对51名女性进行了访谈，其中28名护士和23名住院医师。通过提问来确定女性护士和女性住院医师是否以及如何认为性别是她们跨专业关系中的一个因素，她们如何描述彼此之间的关系，女性护士为女性住院医师提供何种帮助，女性住院医师寻求何种帮助，以及女性护士与女性住院医师关系的优势和挑战。使用NUD*IST软件对数据进行分析。
与在挪威和澳大利亚进行的类似研究一致，结果如下：对于女性护士来说，职业次于性别，也就是说性别是女性护士和女性住院医师之间最重要的联系。对于女性住院医师来说，性别次于职业/职业地位。
随着医院中女性住院医师数量逐年增加，这种关系应进一步研究，以便挑战两组之间功能失调的沟通模式。
