In Hong Kong, males constituted only about 10.2% of the nursing workforce in 2010. The learning experiences of male nursing students in Hong Kong during their clinical practicum have rarely been explored. If these students cannot maintain their psychological well-being and psychological health in formal education and clinical placements, then their physical health will also suffer. This ethnographic qualitative study gave male nursing students in Hong Kong a chance to voice their experiences during their clinical practicum. Selected through snowball sampling, 18 male nursing students from a local university participated in individual face-to-face semistructured interviews. The data were processed with content analysis. The findings indicated that male students not only received more support and understanding from male rather than female members of staff but endured a certain amount of oppression while working in female wards. According to the students' comments on nursing culture, the work climate of male nursing students could be improved by reorganizing the clinical placements and providing extra support to male nursing students.
在香港，2010 年男性仅占护理人员的 10.2%左右。在香港，男性护理学生在临床实习期间的学习经历很少被探索过。如果这些学生在正规教育和临床实习中不能保持心理健康和身体健康，那么他们的身体健康也会受到影响。这项人种学定性研究让香港的男性护理学生有机会在临床实习期间表达自己的经历。通过滚雪球抽样选择，当地一所大学的 18 名男性护理学生参加了个人面对面半结构化访谈。这些数据经过内容分析处理。研究结果表明，男学生不仅从男同事那里得到了比女同事更多的支持和理解，而且在女病房工作时还承受了一定程度的压迫。根据学生对护理文化的评论，通过重新组织临床实习和为男性护理学生提供额外支持，可以改善男性护理学生的工作氛围。
