Gender equality is one of the most important determinants of health. Discriminatory interventions, values, beliefs, and prejudices of healthcare professionals during their service affect health adversely.
There is not adequate information about the views of healthcare professionals on gender roles.
This study was conducted to understand and define the views of healthcare professionals involved in the health system on gender roles.
This study was performed using the "phenomenological method," one of the qualitative research methods. A total of 28 healthcare professionals - 10 midwives, 12 nurses, and 6 - were included in the research. Individual in-depth interviews were held with the healthcare professionals included in the study.
As a result of the descriptive analysis performed after the individual interviews about the views of healthcare professionals on gender roles, 6 main themes were determined. These themes are (1) the neglect of women by society, (2) using force on women, (3) seeing women as sexual objects, (4) having a say in society, (5) glorified masculinity and femininity roles, and (6) gender equality.
In this study, healthcare professionals expressed that women were neglected by societies since gender roles were determined by patriarchal societies. This situation adversely influences the health of individuals. Importance should be attached to equality between women and men to improve health. Healthcare professionals who support equality will improve the quality of care.
Healthcare professionals should provide equitable services without discrimination. This equitable care they provide will positively affect the health of individuals.
性别平等是健康的最重要决定因素之一。医疗保健专业人员在服务过程中的歧视性干预、价值观、信仰和偏见会对健康产生不利影响。
关于医疗保健专业人员对性别角色的看法，目前没有足够的信息。
本研究旨在了解和界定参与卫生系统的医疗保健专业人员对性别角色的看法。
本研究采用定性研究方法之一的“现象学方法”。共有28名医疗保健专业人员——10名助产士、12名护士和6名其他人员——参与了该研究。对研究中纳入的医疗保健专业人员进行了个人深度访谈。
在对医疗保健专业人员对性别角色的看法进行个人访谈后进行的描述性分析中，确定了6个主要主题。这些主题是：（1）社会对女性的忽视；（2）对女性使用暴力；（3）将女性视为性对象；（4）在社会中有发言权；（5）对男性气质和女性气质角色的美化；（6）性别平等。
在本研究中，医疗保健专业人员表示，由于性别角色由父权制社会决定，女性受到社会的忽视。这种情况对个人健康产生不利影响。为改善健康状况，应重视男女平等。支持平等的医疗保健专业人员将提高护理质量。
医疗保健专业人员应提供无歧视的公平服务。他们提供的这种公平护理将对个人健康产生积极影响。
