“…18 Following from this, we can develop a nursing ontology that is free from rigid and androcentric biases. [14][15][16][17] Such a shift was predicted already in the 1980's by Sandelowski, 23 who used the cyborg metaphor and cyborg ontology in relation to health and humans. The human transition into a cyborg existence and avatars in the digital age of Internet use together with the merging of online/offline realities becomes the normative performativity of reality, giving the user full control and diminishing hierarchical power relationships between patients and caregivers.…”

“…3,12,13 Nursing science has been criticized for being deterministic, rigid and androcentric, and for the use of positivistic servility. [14][15][16][17] Following the reasoning of Playle, 18 new scientific disciplines such as nursing science have had to adhere and subordinate to the dominant position that positivism has in an attempt to heighten their scientific status -at the expense of adopting an alternative ontology and epistemology. Just as there was a need in nursing science to challenge positivist assumptions, we argue there are reasons to challenge 'old' beliefs within the field of nursing science that have been enshrined as interdisciplinary norms of what is regarded to be 'human nature'.…”

In this theory article, we discuss the virtual dimensions of the human, the avatar, in relation to ontological assumptions within nursing science. Assumptions in nursing science promote a ‘wholistic’ perspective of the human in terms of body, mind and spirit in relation to the environment. However, due to the enhanced technological development and the invention of cyberspace, we pose the critical question of whether the virtual dimension of identity really implicates a ‘wholistic’ view of human kindness or if this has been neglected. Furthermore, we suggest an ontological understanding that grasps new dimensions of humanity. In the article, we discuss the virtual dimensions of the human in relation to ontological assumptions within nursing science under the three headings of The techno-self and virtual identities, Techno-therapy and cyber nursing, and Becoming homo technicus. Due to these reflections, this article contributes to the debate on a postmodern understanding of human living conditions in society. We suggest further theoretical discussions to explore the conceptual and theoretical levels of nursing knowledge as new realities of human existence are introduced in the field. The transition into the digital age of the Internet, with the existence of cyborgs and avatars, is an ontological and epistemological challenge for nursing science that needs to be further investigated.

“…Nevertheless, there is no single feminist theory or singular understanding of feminism. However, there is certainly a starting point of feminist theory: “feminism is a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression” [ 6 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. A semistructured interview is a common mode in phenomenological research that helps to remove gender bias in research by allowing women to express their ideas, opinions, or experiences in their own language, while capturing women’s voices, especially those in line with feminist ideals [ 6 , 23 ].…”

There has long been a gender bias in medicine. This qualitative study aims to identify the experience of sexism among frontline female nurses and further explore their expectations and possible strategies to get rid of gender bias. This is a descriptive phenomenological study of 23 female nurses with 11 ± 3.98 years of experience who spent 36 ± 6.50 days at the frontline during the initial COVID-19 outbreak. We employed Colaizzi’s phenomenological analysis method to understand the subjective experiences, revealing the following themes: (a) materialization of gender identity; (b) incoordinate relationships; (c) future voice of female nurses. The gender bias experienced by female frontline nurses further challenges their emotional identity and self-identity. Therefore, it is important to require extensive consciousness-raising and policy support to defend female nurses’ rights.
