This paper is a report of a study examining the influence on how nursing and nurses are portrayed in feature films made between 1900 and 2007, with a nurse as their main or a principle character and a story-line related specifically to nursing.
Nurses and the nursing profession are frequently portrayed negatively or stereotypically in the media, with nurses often being portrayed as feminine and caring but not as leaders or professionals capable of autonomous practice.
A mixed method approach was used to examine feature films made in the Western world. Over 36,000 feature film synopses were reviewed (via CINAHL, ProQuest and relevant movie-specific literature) for the keywords 'nurse'/'nursing'. Identified films were analysed quantitatively to determine their country of production, genre, plot(s) and other relevant data, and qualitatively to identify the emergence of themes related to the image of nurses/nursing in films.
For the period from 1900 to 2007, 280 relevant feature films were identified. Most films were made in the United States of America or United Kingdom, although in recent years films have been increasingly produced in other countries. Early films portrayed nurses as self-sacrificial heroines, sex objects and romantics. More recent films increasingly portray them as strong and self-confident, professionals.
Nurse-related films offer a unique insight into the image of nurses and how they have been portrayed. Nurses need to be aware of the impact the film industry has on how nurses and nursing are perceived and represented in feature films.
本文是一项研究报告，该研究考察了1900年至2007年间制作的故事片中护士形象塑造以及对护士职业的影响，这些影片以护士为主角或主要角色，且故事情节与护理工作直接相关。
护士及护理行业在媒体中常被负面或刻板地呈现，护士常被描绘为温柔体贴，但并非能够自主执业的领导者或专业人士。
采用混合研究方法考察西方世界制作的故事片。通过CINAHL、ProQuest以及相关电影专业文献，检索了超过36000篇故事片剧情简介，关键词为“护士”/“护理”。对筛选出的影片进行定量分析，以确定其制作国家、类型、情节及其他相关数据，并进行定性分析，以识别与电影中护士形象相关主题的出现情况。
在1900年至2007年期间，共识别出280部相关故事片。大多数影片由美国或英国制作，不过近年来其他国家制作的影片数量也在增加。早期电影将护士描绘成自我牺牲的女英雄、性感尤物和浪漫主义者。近期电影越来越多地将她们刻画为坚强自信的专业人士。
与护士相关的电影为了解护士形象及其塑造方式提供了独特视角。护士需要意识到电影行业对故事片中护士形象及人们对护士职业认知的影响。
