Provision of psychiatric mental health nursing care, specifically care involving women and group therapy, often aligns with the prevailing theoretical perspectives that dominate the treatment setting. When psychiatric mental health nurses fail to question the underlying assumptions of care, they may actively participate in care processes that perpetuate gender bias and devaluation of women. This article, based on the author's experience in a long-term therapy group for women, highlights group dynamics that reflect devaluation. Suggested guiding principles provide direction for valuing the feminine and confronting systemic gender bias in group work with women.
提供精神心理健康护理,特别是涉及女性和团体治疗的护理,通常与主导治疗环境的主流理论观点相一致。当精神心理健康护士未能质疑护理的潜在假设时,他们可能会积极参与使性别偏见和对女性的贬低长期存在的护理过程。本文基于作者在一个针对女性的长期治疗小组中的经验,强调了反映贬低的团体动态。建议的指导原则为在与女性的团体工作中重视女性特质和面对系统性性别偏见提供了方向。
