Despite recent discussions and campaigns to widen nursing's appeal to people of diverse gender identities, it continues to be perceived as a largely female profession. In the context of an ageing workforce, and alongside recruitment and retention challenges, efforts should be directed at developing a more inclusive profession rather than focusing on why people other than women do not become nurses. To attract more men, transgender people and those who identify as nonbinary, as well as women, the approach to nursing recruitment needs to change. The profession must develop a more inclusive culture and examine and promote the advantages that gender diversity can bring to nursing. This article explores the lack of gender diversity in contemporary nursing, briefly examines the history of gender in nursing, and considers how the profession might evolve into a more gender-diverse and inclusive workforce.
尽管最近有讨论和活动旨在扩大护理对不同性别认同的人的吸引力，但它仍然被视为一个主要由女性从事的职业。在劳动力老龄化的背景下，以及在招聘和留用方面的挑战下，应该努力发展一个更具包容性的职业，而不是专注于为什么除了女性之外的其他人不成为护士。为了吸引更多的男性、跨性别者和非二元性别认同者以及女性，护理招聘的方法需要改变。该职业必须培养更具包容性的文化，并审视和促进性别多样性为护理带来的优势。本文探讨了当代护理中性别多样性的缺乏，简要回顾了护理中的性别历史，并考虑了该职业如何向更具性别多样性和包容性的劳动力发展。
