This article presents the results of a national survey among intensive-care nurses, establishing whether male nurses and female nurses can be distinguished with respect to issues such as professionalization, career orientation and their preference for technical departments. The study showed that there is an over-representation of men in technical wards. At IC/CC-units the percentage of male nurses is twice as large as in the hospital as a whole (IC/CCU included). The distribution of labour among male and female nurses is taking place according to traditional sex-specific role patterns. Male nurses are more oriented towards professionalization than female nurses. Male IC-nurses see their jobs more in a medical perspective and they also show a higher frequency in the performance of medically reserved activities. Male IC-nurses seem to be particularly directed at upgrading their own profession. The differences between male and female nurses can also be explained by culturally determined differences between men and women regarding their own career perspective and career development, as well as by internal staff policy.
本文介绍了一项针对重症监护护士的全国性调查结果，旨在确定男护士和女护士在职业化、职业取向以及对技术科室的偏好等问题上是否存在差异。研究表明，技术病房中男性比例过高。在重症监护/冠心病监护病房，男护士的比例是整个医院（包括重症监护/冠心病监护病房）的两倍。男女护士之间的劳动分工遵循传统的性别特定角色模式。男护士比女护士更倾向于职业化。男性重症监护护士更多地从医学角度看待自己的工作，并且他们进行医学保留活动的频率也更高。男性重症监护护士似乎特别致力于提升自己的职业水平。男女护士之间的差异还可以通过男女在自身职业前景和职业发展方面由文化决定的差异以及内部员工政策来解释。
