    • To investigate the underrepresentation of men in the nursing profession.
    • To identify the barriers contributing to the low number of male nurses.
    • To explore reasons behind the phenomenon 'where the boys aren't' in nursing.

    Main Methods:

  • It examines societal perceptions and historical trends influencing career choices.
  • The study synthesizes data to understand the gendered nature of nursing as a career.

    • Main Results:

    • Societal stereotypes and historical gender roles discourage men from entering nursing.
    • Perceptions of nursing as a "female" profession create significant barriers.
    • Lack of visible male role models in nursing further perpetuates underrepresentation.

    Conclusions:

    • Addressing the nursing shortage requires actively recruiting and retaining male nurses.
    • Overcoming gender stereotypes and promoting nursing as a viable career for men is essential.
    • Further research is needed to develop targeted strategies for male nurse recruitment.
