Nursing is often regarded as a female-dominated profession. Many nursing curricula are received by mainly female students. It is uncertain how male students behave in this environment of nursing education in hospitals and universities. This article aimed to review gender differences in the academic and clinical performances of undergraduate nursing students.
A systematic review was assessed and different themes were extracted by inductive approach.
A search strategy was carried out for the period 2006-2011 utilising six computerised databases: Academic Search Premier, CINAHL, ERIC, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, and the Wiley Online Library.
Research studies were included and screened by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guideline. All articles in English that met our aim were selected and relevant results were abstracted and thematised.
Fifty-five articles were included. Five themes were generated from the literatures, including the differences of academic, clinical, psychological, nursing profession identity and health concept between male and female nursing students.
Both genders performed similarly in different aspects. Most studies revealed that the clinical placement satisfaction of male students was similar to that of female, despite the negative experiences the former faced during obstetric placement. Further research is needed to examine the gender differences in studying and make changes in the nursing curricula to accommodate with male students.
护理行业常被视为以女性为主导的职业。许多护理课程主要由女学生修读。目前尚不清楚男学生在医院和大学的护理教育环境中会有怎样的表现。本文旨在综述本科护理专业学生在学业和临床成绩方面的性别差异。
进行了一项系统综述，并采用归纳法提取了不同主题。
利用六个计算机化数据库对2006 - 2011年期间进行了检索：学术搜索高级版、护理学与健康领域数据库、教育资源信息中心、医学期刊数据库、科学Direct和Wiley在线图书馆。
研究纳入和筛选遵循系统评价与Meta分析的首选报告项目指南。选择了所有符合我们目标的英文文章，并提取了相关结果并进行主题化处理。
纳入了55篇文章。从文献中生成了五个主题，包括男女护理专业学生在学业、临床、心理、护理职业认同和健康观念方面的差异。
男女在不同方面表现相似。大多数研究表明，尽管男学生在产科实习期间面临负面经历，但其临床实习满意度与女学生相似。需要进一步研究以考察学习中的性别差异，并对护理课程进行调整以适应男学生。
