“…Drange and Karlsen (2016) indicated that nurses with immigrant backgrounds are more likely to work in elderly care, which is among the least popular working fields among nursing students (Hunt et al., 2020; Kloster et al., 2007). However, seeking work in elderly care could be understood as a strategy to avoid discrimination in the labour market (Modood & Khattab, 2016).…”

“…Adding to the recruitment and retention concerns, people with immigrant backgrounds generally have a lower probability of employment in occupations that require professional authorization, such as nursing, than people without immigrant backgrounds (Drange & Alecu, 2019). In addition, nurses with immigrant backgrounds are more likely to work in elderly care than other nurses (Drange & Karlsen, 2016).…”

Aim Given the apparent link between gender and ethnicity, and the diversity and career opportunities in nursing, this study examined gender and ethnicity's influence on first‐year nursing students' educational motivation and career expectations. Design Cross‐sectional. Methods Through bootstrapped linear regressions, we analysed data on 504 Norwegian first‐year nursing students' self‐reported educational motivation and career expectations, from the StudData survey at the Centre for the Study of Professions (SPS) at Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet). Results The sample consisted of 67 (13%) male and 437 (87%) female nursing students. Female students were more motivated compared to male students by professional interest and to pursue a specialization, less likely to assume leadership positions in the future, and more likely to prioritize family and pursue positions in the traditional nursing field. In total, 425 (84%) respondents stated a Norwegian background. Respondents who stated that both of their parents were born in a country other than Norway made up the 79 (16%) students of immigrant background. Those with immigrant backgrounds were more motivated than other students by income, status and flexible working hours and less likely to pursue a specialization or future employment in the nursing field.

“…This agrees with studies showing that men are less concerned about occupational safety than women 47 ) . The relationship between sex and work-related incidents may also be a reflection of the fact that male and female nurses may work in different types of nursing jobs 48 ) , which might influence their risk of experiencing negative work-related incidents.…”

Workaholism and negative work-related incidents among nurses

et al. 2018

The present study comprised 1,781 nurses who participated in an investigation about working conditions, sleep, and health. They answered a questionnaire about age, sex, marital status, children living at home, work hours per week, number of night shifts last year, and total sleep duration and that also included a validated instrument assessing workaholism. In addition, they were asked to report on eight items concerning negative work-related incidents (dozed off at work, dozed while driving, harmed or nearly harmed self, harmed or nearly harmed patients/others, and harmed or nearly harmed equipment). Logistic regression analyses identified several predictors of these specific incidents: Low age (dozed at work, harmed and nearly harmed self, harmed and nearly harmed equipment), male sex (harmed and nearly harmed self, nearly harmed equipment), not living with children (harmed patients/others), low percentage of full-time equivalent (nearly harmed self and harmed patients/others), number of night shifts last year (dozed off at work and while driving, nearly harmed patients/others) and sleep duration (inversely related to dozed off at work and while driving, nearly harmed self). However, the most consistent predictor of negative work-related incidents was workaholism which was positively and significantly associated with all the eight incidents.

“…Examining how the intersections of being both non-white and female nurses impacted in their interactions with their employing institutions, Semu (2020) Ammann et al (2021) found that nurses and physicians from 'specialist' areas shared social functions and break rooms described as institutional markers to promote inter-professional collaboration, which contrasted to the 'care' wards. The clear delineation between clinical areas perceived as special or desirable appears to intersect with social identity, status, gender and ethnicity, creating an oppressive class system dependent on socially constructed identities (Ammann et al, 2021;Aspinall et al, 2021;Drange & Karlsen, 2016;Nazareno et al, 2021;Qureshi et al, 2020).…”

Aims and objectives This review aimed to synthesise international research about how intersectionality has been used to explore issues within the nursing profession. The objectives were to determine which intersecting variables have been explored, how intersectionality has been operationalised, and the implications for nursing leadership. Background Barriers to health system leadership created at the intersection of gender, race, ethnicity, professional cadre and other socially constructed categories exist in the health workforce. Consequently, an intersectionality paradigm has been recommended to explore power, privilege and oppression issues in the nursing profession. Design An integrative systematic review method was selected for its ability to include diverse methodologies. The review complies with the PRISMA guidelines for reporting systematic reviews. Method The search terms nurs* nurses nursing AND Intersectionality intersectional intersectionalism, intersect were used in December 2021 to search the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL Plus) PsycINFO, PubMed, Ovid, ProQuest and the first ten pages of Google Scholar from 2011 to 2021. Directed content analysis was applied to the data. Results Access to education, absence of expectations as a career and patriarchal structures support male nurses into positions of leadership in healthcare systems. Intra‐group differences highlight the paradox of homogenous categories for ethnicity and gender. Being a member of an ethnic minority group hinders career progression regardless of gender. The aftereffects of colonisation exist within the nursing space. Conclusions This review is the first to synthesise research using intersectionality to explore the impact of socially constructed identities on nursing leadership. There is a dearth of evidence specific to this topic, ignoring the diversity within this professional group. Future research should include intersectionality to discover how social categories empower or impede a nurse's career progression to leadership roles. Relevance to clinical practice An intersectionality paradigm can encourage nurses to attend to issues of power, privilege and oppression in the profession and their practice.
