RESUMO
IntroducciónLa enfermería ha sido fundamentalmente un trabajo de mujeres. El incremento en la incorporación de hombres a la enfermería nos hace reflexionar en torno a la cuestión de si existen diferentes formas de expresar y practicar una profesión en relación con el género.ObjetivoDescribir si existen diferentes maneras de percibir y valorar el trabajo en la unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI) desde una perspectiva de género.MetodologíaEstudio cualitativo fenomenológico. Muestra: 6 enfermeros y 6 enfermeras de la UCI del Hospital Universitario de Bellvitge. Recogida de datos: entrevista semiestructurada en profundidad. Análisis de contenido.ResultadosLos enfermeros describen el trabajo en la UCI en términos de autonomía en las decisiones y competencia profesional, reivindican su identidad como enfermeros y destacan el bajo reconocimiento social que se hace de la profesión, priorizan más la responsabilidad en la toma de decisiones que el resultado final y valoran la satisfacción familiar en términos de prestigio y competencia. Son más prácticos. Las enfermeras califican el trabajo en términos de control y seguimiento en la evolución del enfermo, destacan más el resultado final del cuidado y valoran la satisfacción en términos de relación de confianza y calidez asistencial. Son más detallistas.ConclusionesExisten diferencias en la manera de calificar el trabajo en la UCI, en la valoración de la identidad profesional, el comportamiento en el desarrollo de los cuidados de enfermería y en la percepción de la satisfacción familiar. No se observan diferencias en relación con el abordaje en la resolución de problemas con la tecnología (AU)

INTRODUCTION: Nursing has essentially been the work of women. The increase in men incorporating into nursing makes us think about whether there are different ways of expressing and practicing a profession in relationship to gender. OBJECTIVE: To describe if there are different ways of perceiving and assessing ICU work from a gender perspective. METHODOLOGY: A qualitative phenomenological study. SAMPLE: 6 male nurses and 6 female nurses from the ICU of the Hospital Universitario de Bellvitge (HUB). DATA COLLECTION: In-depth semi-constructed interview. Content analysis. RESULTS: Male nurses describe ICU work in terms of autonomy in making decisions and professional competence. They claim responsibility for their identity as nurses and stress the low social recognition of the profession. They prioritize the responsibility of decision making over the final outcome and evaluate family satisfaction in terms of prestige and competence. They are more practical. Female nurses describe the work in terms of control and follow-up of the patient's evolution. They emphasize the final care outcome and evaluate satisfaction in terms of a relationship of confidence and warm patient care. They are more meticulous. CONCLUSIONS: There are differences in how they classify their ICU work, in the self-evaluation of professional identity, behavior in the development of the nursing care and in perception of family satisfaction. No differences are observed regarding problem solving with the technology.
