“…Research indicates that the low participation of men in nursing can be traced back to hesitancy among career teachers to recommend nursing as a viable career option for male individuals [45,46]. Furthermore, the perceived low pay and status of nursing and midwifery as professions may have detrimental effects on boys' perceptions [47]. Boys might view nursing as an extension of women's work with low social status, fostering the belief that nursing is not a suitable profession for men [48,49].…”

“…Additionally, stereotypes, prejudices, and the relatively lower remuneration in the healthcare sector compared to other professions may further dissuade boys from pursuing nursing [50]. These factors collectively create barriers for boys in considering nursing as a career choice, highlighting the urgent need for a shift in societal attitudes and the establishment of a male-inclusive environment to encourage greater participation of boys in nursing and midwifery professions [47][48][49][50]. This context may contribute to the observed lower baseline and maximum perceptions among boys in this study.…”

Aim To test a serious game intervention about nursing and midwifery perceptions among adolescent school children. Background Nursing and midwifery professions face challenges in recruitment, with persistent gender stereotypes and a lack of clarity regarding the roles contributing to this issue. This study addresses the need for innovative approaches to reshape perceptions and encourage career exploration in adolescent school children. Design Employing a pre/post-test design, this study involved 137 post-primary students aged sixteen or seventeen in the United Kingdom. Methods Data collection occurred between November 2022 to April 2023, involving three post-primary schools. Participants engaged with a digital serious game designed to address misconceptions and promote a more accurate understanding of nursing and midwifery. Participants completed pre- and post-intervention questionnaires, including an adapted version of the Nursing as a Career Choice Questionnaire. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, and independent groups t-tests. Results The serious game intervention resulted in statistically significant improvements in students’ perceptions across multiple domains. Overall, participants showed higher mean post-test scores (M = 139.57, SD = 15.10) compared to their mean pre-test score (M = 131.06, SD = 14.73) on the questionnaire. The domains of self-efficacy (p < .001), job prospects (p < .001) and social influences (p < .001) exhibited the most substantial positive changes. Female participants showed higher perceptions than males in pre- and post-tests and students from all-girls schools consistently scored higher than those from all-boys and mixed-gender schools. Conclusions A serious game about the nursing and midwifery professions appears to be capable of changing perceptions of self-efficacy and job prospects related to nursing and midwifery professions. The study suggests that a serious game intervention may have the potential to change adolescent perceptions of nursing and midwifery professions which may lead to their considering of these when making future career choices.

“…This means that male nurses regard quality nursing care more by upholding principles of respect, strong commitment, and displaying the utmost attitude required. According to Paskaleva et al ( 2020 ), male nurses chose the nursing profession for two major reasons: willingness to help other people and career opportunities. In addition, male nurses consider nursing a decent place for men, and many are satisfied with choosing nursing as a profession.…”

Background: Analyzing how nurses handle professionalism in their careers will help all concerned individuals identify areas of concern to develop and enhance further to achieve or maintain a high degree of professionalism. Objective: This study aimed to determine the level of professionalism among nurses and its differences according to socio-demographic characteristics. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional approach was utilized in three significant regions of Saudi Arabia. A simple random sampling technique was employed with 305 respondents, resulting in a 95.9% response rate. A Google Form survey was used to collect the data between January and April 2021. Results: Nurses perceived themselves highly in professional organization (Mean = 3.94, SD = 0.17), belief in public service (Mean = 3.91, SD = 0.22), belief in self-regulation (Mean = 3.97, SD = 0.08), sense of calling (Mean = 4.01, SD = 0.13), and belief in autonomy (Mean = 3.71, SD = 0.15). There was no significant difference between gender and professional organization, belief in public service, self-regulation, or belief in autonomy. Still, there was a significant difference in belief in public service (t = 2.794; p = 0.006) and sense of calling (t = 4.290; p = 0.001). As to age, only belief in self-regulation was significant (t = 5.984; p = 0.003). Moreover, the educational qualifications reached an insignificant difference in professionalism. Conversely, the type of facility has been found to have reached significant differences with a professional organization (F = 3.057; p = 0.029), belief in public service (F = 4.130; p = 0.007), beliefs in regulation (F = 3.452; p = 0.017), sense of calling (F = 3.211; p = 0.023), and belief in autonomy (F = 5.995; p = 0.001). Lastly, the current position found no significant difference in professionalism. Conclusion: Nurses in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia perceived themselves as highly professional, and male nurses were found to have a sense of calling more than their female counterparts. Age, educational qualification, and current position had no significant difference in professionalism. Conversely, the type of facility had a significant difference with the belief in autonomy. These findings support and sustain the role of nurses in this 21st-century health care that is significantly needed to provide the most quality care.
