EXPERIENCES OF MEN IN NURSING: A QUALITATIVE STUDY OF PERSPECTIVES OF NURSES

This study aims to explore the reasons for men to choose nursing as a profession in Turkey and their experiences in the profession from their perspectives. This is a qualitative study. The study sample consisted of male nurses working in a private hospital and in a public hospital of Ministry of Health in Turkey. The data were collected using a semi- structured in-depth interview questionnaire prepared based on literature. The study sample consisted of 11 male nurses. We used thematic analysis to analyse the data. Male nurses reported that the primary reason why they choose nursing as a career was job security. Male nurses also reported that especially female patients had negative perceptions and attitudes towards them and occasionally female patients refused to get health care services from them due to social norms. They were preferred in strength-related tasks rather than in care-related tasks

The core category (process) was abstracted from the realignment of those subprocesses components: From the dream to expansion, preservation, and business abandonment: nurse training/experience for social enterprise as an intervening component. Final considerations: In light of the Business Model Canvas, it showed the experiential process little instrumented by the fundamentals of business management, to support the proposal, overview and altering business.

Difficulties Encountered by Final-Year Male Nursing Students in Their Internship Programmes

Background: The cultural norms of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia do not encourage men to choose nursing as a career. Understanding male nursing students' experiences of their clinical exposure to the nursing profession throughout their internship might increase their retention. This study explored the experiences of final-year male nursing students as they transitioned to the role of registered nurse. Methods: A qualitative descriptive research design with an inductive content-analysis approach was used. The experiences of 22 final-year male nursing students from three public hospitals in a major city of Saudi Arabia were explored. The data were collected using focus-group interviews and documentary analysis in March 2015 and May 2015. Results: Content analysis revealed three major themes: the societal and cultural image of male nurses, male students' engagement in nursing practice, and restructuring the internship programmes' policies to suit male students' needs. Conclusion: The findings reveal issues that mainly stem from negative social views of nursing as a male profession. Considering the students' social and cultural needs during their internship programme will facilitate their transition into the role of registered nurse and their retention in the nursing profession.

Avaliação do conhecimento sobre terapia renal substitutiva dos profissionais de saúde nas regiões de Juiz de Fora, São João Nepomuceno e Santos Dumont / Assessment of knowledge on renal replacement therapy in health care workers of the regions: Juiz de Fora, São João Nepomuceno e Santos Dumont

ResumoEm consonância com o Editorial "Como explicar a baixa penetração da diálise peritoneal no Brasil" publicado em 2014 no Jornal Brasileiro de Nefrologia, escrito pelo Professor Hugo Abensur,1 mostramos os resultados de um estudo denominado "Avaliação do conhecimento sobre terapia renal substitutiva dos profissionais de saúde nas microrregiões de Juiz de Fora, São João Nepomuceno e Santos Dumont" (Aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética da UFJF CAAE: 23659213.8.0000.5147 e financiado pela FAPEMIG sob número APQ 03626-12).Objetivo:Avaliar o conhecimento sobre TRS dos profissionais de saúde das microrregiões de Juiz de Fora, São João Nepomuceno e Santos Dumont.Métodos:Estudo transversal no período de abril de 2014 a abril de 2015. A população estudada foi de profissionais de saúde (médicos, enfermeiros e técnicos de enfermagem) que trabalhavam nas unidades de pronto atendimento (UPA) e atenção primária à saúde (UAPS). Os profissionais de saúde foram entrevistados com o uso de um questionário semiestruturado, baseado em um caso clínico de uma paciente com diagnóstico de Diabetes Mellitus, Hipertensão Arterial e Doença Renal Crônica que evoluiu com piora da função renal, de uma creatinina de 1,8 mg/dL para 12 mg/dL e com diferentes perguntas conforme trabalhasse na UAPS ou UPA e categoria profissional e nele continha uma questão qualitativa.Resultados:Foram entrevistados 75 profissionais de 8 municípios, sendo 26,7% médicos, 32% enfermeiros e 41,3% técnicos de enfermagem. A idade média foi de 38 anos. Destes, 70,7% trabalhavam em UAPS e 29,3% em UPA. Tanto na UPA quanto na UAPS a frequência referida de atendimento de casos semelhantes ficou entre uma vez por mês e uma vez a cada três meses. A maioria encaminharia o paciente para unidade hospitalar e indicaria TRS. A TRS mais indicada pelos médicos é a HD (> 90% dos casos) e menos de 10% indicariam DP como primeira escolha. A associação de "creatinina" e função renal" é adequada em mais de 90% das respostas, a despeito de não haver associação da mesma com nível de filtração glomerular, quando esta pergunta é feita. Mais de 90% dos profissionais não médicos desejam realizar treinamento/capacitação em nefrologia/TRS.Conclusão:Observamos que a maioria dos profissionais não indicam diálise peritoneal, principalmente profissionais médicos, tanto das UAPS quanto das UPAs; 90% destes indicaram HD. Sobre enfermeiros e técnicos de enfermagem das UAPS, 52,1% indicaram HD e 9,4% DP. Aqueles da UPA 41,6% indicaram HD e 26,6% DP. Concluímos que uma minoria dos profissionais de saúde indicaria DP como primeira escolha e, na questão qualitativa referem frequente déficit de "conhecimento na área", estão interessados em realizar treinamento/capacitação.
