(1) Background: One of the strategies to overcome the shortage of nurses is to minimize gender inequity in nursing culture, starting from the undergraduate education program. Although the number of men entering the nursing profession has increased over the years, the portion of male nurses remains low, particularly in Asian countries. Only a few studies have been conducted to identify gender inequity in nursing, and most of these studies used qualitative study design. Therefore, it is necessary to quantitatively identify gender equity in nursing education and the influence it has on nurse job satisfaction. (2) Methods: A total of 165 male nurses participated in this study. Validated questionnaires were used to assess gender equity in nursing education programs, nurse job satisfaction, nurse job esteem, and nursing professional pride. (3) Results: The mean score of gender equity in nursing programs was 62.6, showing a positive correlation with nurse job satisfaction, nurse job esteem, and nursing professional pride. Gender equity positively predicted nurse job esteem. (4) Conclusions: The gender equity in nursing education programs has positive predictive effects on the factors that influence male nurse job satisfaction. In order to increase nurse job retention, educators should incorporate strategies to minimize gender inequity.
（1）背景：克服护士短缺的策略之一是从本科教育项目开始，尽量减少护理文化中的性别不平等。尽管多年来进入护理行业的男性人数有所增加，但男护士的比例仍然很低，尤其是在亚洲国家。仅有少数研究致力于识别护理领域的性别不平等，并且这些研究大多采用定性研究设计。因此，有必要定量识别护理教育中的性别平等及其对护士工作满意度的影响。（2）方法：共有165名男护士参与了本研究。使用经过验证的问卷来评估护理教育项目中的性别平等、护士工作满意度、护士职业尊严和护理职业自豪感。（3）结果：护理项目中性别平等的平均得分是62.6，与护士工作满意度、护士职业尊严和护理职业自豪感呈正相关。性别平等对护士职业尊严有正向预测作用。（4）结论：护理教育项目中的性别平等对影响男护士工作满意度的因素具有积极的预测作用。为了提高护士的留职率，教育工作者应采用策略尽量减少性别不平等。
