融入性別平等意識於護理教育

Nursing Education: Integrating Gender Equity Consciousness

護理人員的性別觀不僅影響個人，更展現於照護過程，影響服務對象及護理工作內涵甚鉅。不具性別意識的護理人員無法落實以病人安全為中心等護理專業所強調的全人、個別化及整體性的照護理念。基於教育是提昇性別意識的不二法門，施行符合護理情境的性別教育將有助於護生將性別與健康照護相聯結，進而提供個別化的整體性護理。本文除陳述護理教育融合性別平等意識之重要性外，並綜合性的提出融合性別概念於護理教學之建議，包括：檢視教師自我的性別意識、檢視教材內容是否潛藏性別歧視、提升教師性別平等教育的知能，以及重視護理養成過程的性別教育等，期能增進讀者對性別概念落實於課程的瞭解，齊為護理教育落實性別平等而努力。

Gender sensitivity influences the way a nurse handles the nursing process and can influence both patient care and public perception of the nursing profession. Nurses unaware of the influences of gender are unable to perform holistic nursing, the practice of which centers on patient-centered care. Education is essential to promote gender consciousness. Providing scenario-based education to apply gender consciousness can help nursing students integrate gender and nursing care concepts and improve nursing care quality. In addition to raising attention to this important issue, this article makes comprehensive suggestions on how to apply gender concepts in nursing education. These suggestions include requiring instructors to consider and assess their own gender consciousness in order to enhance positive gender consciousness; reviewing teaching materials to identify and remove content tainted by sexual discrimination, and emphasizing gender education in the nursing education curriculum.
