護理職場中的性別關係

Gender Relations in the Nursing Workplace

這篇文章，我想藉由社會學家Raewyn Connell提出的「性別關係」的四個面向：權力關係、性別分工關係、感情關係、符號文化論述的關係，作為分析的模式，以我平日的觀察與一些相關的研究為案例佐證，來分析護理職場中常見的性別關係。我期待這樣的討論，能夠提供護理人員有用的工具，在遇到職場上的性別議題時，可以用這四個面向去分析，找出促進職場性別平等的策略。

This article is framed on the model of gender relations analysis suggested by sociologist Raewyn Connell, which considers the four gendered dimensions of power relations, division of labor, emotional relations, and symbolism, culture and discourse. Using personal observations and literature references, I discuss gender relations in the nursing workplace. I hope this article will be a useful tool for nurses to analyze gender issues encountered and develop strategies to improve the gender equity in the workplace.
