The stereotype that male nurses are less masculine has existed for generations and spans all age groups. Several studies have investigated masculinity and femininity in nurses using the Bem Sex-Role Inventory, but the results are conflicting and inconclusive. Therefore, a nationwide survey was conducted across the United States that examined the sex-role identity of individuals who chose nursing as a career path. Twenty-eight males and 81 females from 37 states completed the survey. The males and females in the study both had higher mean scores on masculinity and femininity scales when compared with previous studies. The greatest percentage of participants were classified as androgynous, as opposed to masculine, feminine, or undifferentiated, with half of the males and nearly half of the females falling into this category.
男性护士缺乏男子气概的刻板印象已经存在了几代人，并且跨越了所有年龄段。有几项研究使用 Bem 性别角色量表调查了护士的男性气质和女性气质，但结果相互矛盾，没有定论。因此，在美国进行了一项全国性调查，调查了选择护理作为职业道路的个体的性别角色认同。来自 37 个州的 28 名男性和 81 名女性完成了这项调查。与之前的研究相比，研究中的男性和女性在男性气质和女性气质量表上的平均得分都更高。大多数参与者被归类为雌雄同体，而不是男性化、女性化或未分化，其中一半的男性和近一半的女性属于这一类别。
