Nursing is predominantly a female profession and caring has been considered an attribute of female nurses, which could imply a noncaring image of male nurses.
To determine patients' experiences and satisfaction from care provided by male nurses in a private hospital in Islamabad, Pakistan.
This cross-sectional study included a purposive sample of 50 patients admitted to medical surgical units for at least 2 days and who had at least three professional interactions with a male nurse. The Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scale was used for data collection. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis.
The total score for experience and satisfaction was 81 and 51, respectively. A statistically significant difference existed between experience and satisfaction scores of male and female participants, indicating that males were more pleased and satisfied with their experience of receiving care from male nurses compared to the female participants.
The male nurses were concerned for their patients, they were knowledgeable about the patients' condition and care, and provided them with clear explanations of the medical and nursing procedures. However, they seem to lack interpersonal relationship with patients and did not take initiative in understanding their patients.

确定巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡一家私立医院中患者对男性护士提供护理的体验和满意度。
这项横断面研究采用了目的性抽样，选取了50名入住内科和外科病房至少2天且与男性护士至少有三次专业互动的患者。使用纽卡斯尔护理满意度量表收集数据。采用描述性统计方法进行数据分析。
体验和满意度的总分分别为81分和51分。男性和女性参与者的体验和满意度得分存在统计学显著差异，表明与女性参与者相比，男性对接受男性护士护理的体验更满意。
男性护士关心患者，了解患者病情和护理情况，并向他们清楚解释医疗和护理程序。然而，他们似乎缺乏与患者的人际关系，也没有主动去了解患者。
