Although nursing today is an intellectual profession to all intents and purposes, thesocial and professional image gap has not yet been bridged. Also, in the rest of the world, the social image of the nurse suffers from some stereotypes, not only perpetuated by a wrong knowledge on the part of the population but also fostered by the mass media (commentary, cinema, television series).
To investigate the perception of students at the University of Piemonte Orientale about the nursing profession.
A survey was conducted using an online questionnaire sent during the period of the health emergency linked to COVID-19 (from 18 August to 15 September 2020).
662 questionnaires were analysed. It was investigated how students describe nurses and whether that description would have been the same even before the COVID-19 health emergency. Furthermore, it was assessed which gender they consider most suited for the profession and whether the mass media has influenced their view of nurses. The students described the nurse with adjectives such as "expert / capable", "courteous / polite" and "welcoming / listening oriented" and stated that they would use the same terms even before the health emergency. The majority of the sample then believed that there is no more suitable gender to fill the role of nurse and that TV series or news reports have positively influenced their perception. However, only a small percentage of the sample would have considered the idea of becoming a nurse.
A positive view of nurses emerged to overcome gender stereotype and a greater confidence in their technical-professional abilities. The data also highlight that the positive view of the nursing profession is not a consequence of the "publicity" provided by the media during COVID-19 emergency, which represented nurses as "heroes" of the National Health System.
尽管如今护理在各方面都已成为一门需要专业知识的职业，但社会形象与职业形象之间的差距尚未弥合。此外，在世界其他地区，护士的社会形象存在一些刻板印象，这不仅因民众的错误认知而长期存在，还受到大众媒体（评论、电影、电视剧）的影响。
调查皮埃蒙特东方大学学生对护理专业的看法。
在与新冠疫情相关的卫生紧急状态期间（2020年8月18日至9月15日）通过在线问卷进行了一项调查。
分析了662份问卷。调查了学生如何描述护士，以及这种描述在新冠疫情卫生紧急状态之前是否也会相同。此外，评估了他们认为哪个性别最适合该职业，以及大众媒体是否影响了他们对护士的看法。学生用“专业/有能力”“有礼貌/彬彬有礼”和“热情/善于倾听”等形容词来描述护士，并表示即使在卫生紧急状态之前他们也会使用相同的词汇。然后，大多数受访者认为没有更适合的性别来担任护士角色，并且电视剧或新闻报道对他们的看法产生了积极影响。然而，只有一小部分受访者会考虑成为护士的想法。
出现了对护士的积极看法，以克服性别刻板印象，并对他们的技术专业能力有了更大的信心。数据还凸显出，对护理专业的积极看法并非新冠疫情紧急状态期间媒体将护士描绘成国家卫生系统“英雄”所带来的“宣传”结果。
