We aimed to develop a substantive theory according to the associations between adaptation experience-related factors identified in male nurses after turnover to community institutions. From April through August 2019, data were collected through direct observations and in-depth interviews of 22 male nurse participants who were recruited purposively and analyzed simultaneously with the method proposed by Strauss and Corbin. Furthermore, 29 subcategories were derived from 11 categories, including: (1) leaving the clinical sector and changing jobs, (2) shaking while settling, (3) characteristics of the new job, (4) personal disposition, (5) support system, (6) finding my place, (7) solidifying my place, (8) demonstrating my professional competence, (9) stable settlement in my place, (10) preparing for a better future, and (11) still confused. The core category was identified as "putting down roots in another place for myself." The verification of this theory in this study's results indicates a need for research into the evaluation and development of professional development programs and related policies to provide support to male nurses who are pursuing opportunities in community institutions to maintain their nursing identity and further their efforts for developing a nursing specialty.
本研究旨在根据男护士在转到社区机构后的适应经验相关因素，构建一个实质性理论。2019 年 4 月至 8 月，采用 Strauss 和 Corbin 提出的方法，通过对 22 名男护士参与者的直接观察和深入访谈收集数据，并同时进行分析。结果得出 11 个范畴，包括：（1）离开临床部门和换工作，（2）安顿时的摇摆，（3）新工作的特点，（4）个人性格，（5）支持系统，（6）找到自己的位置，（7）巩固自己的位置，（8）展示自己的专业能力，（9）在自己的位置上稳定下来，（10）为更美好的未来做准备，以及（11）仍然困惑。核心范畴为“为自己在另一个地方扎根”。该理论在本研究结果中的验证表明，需要研究专业发展计划和相关政策的评估和发展，为寻求在社区机构发展机会的男护士提供支持，以保持其护理身份，并进一步努力发展护理专业。
