摘要

優良的護理能力是提升護理品質的方法，不同性別之護理人員可各展工作所長，故本研究目的是透過護理主管、護理人員自己與異性護理同儕等三方面來了解兩性基層護理人員的護理能力。本研究採橫斷性研究設計，以結構式問卷為工具，調查護理主管及不同性別之護理人員對兩性護理能力之評價。研究對象取自台灣地區各級醫療院所中男性護理人員、與其同單位同職務屬性之女性護理人員，以及其所直屬護理主管。所得資料經統計分析，結果顯示：(1)護理主管與兩性護理人員對女性的護理能力的評比優於男性；(2)主管領導男性護理人員人數越多、領導時間越長，對男性管理能力有越佳之評價。依據以上結果，女性護理人員的護理能力略優於男性護理人員，若接觸男性護理人員人數較多及時間較長，男性護理能力發揮越多，應多給男性護理人員時間適應護理職場。

Good competency of nurses is the key to increases in the quality of nursing care. Nurses of both genders can provide the best of what their particular gender is capable. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to understand the essential nursing competency of female nurses, the male nurses, and supervisors of nurses. A cross-sectional design was adopted for this study. The researchers used a structural questionnaire as a tool to explore the views of nurses of both genders and their supervisors on nursing competency. The subjects, including male and female nurses of the same position, and their supervisors, were recruited from hospitals of all strata in Taiwan. The data were statistically analyzed and the results were as follows. 1. The nursing supervisors and nurses of both gender graded the female nurses with significantly better competency than the male nurses. 2. The supervisors, who had supervised male nurses in more numbers and for longer periods of time, gave male nurses better management evaluations. The above results suggest that the nursing competency of female nurses is slightly superior to that of male nurses. The nursing competency of male nurses improves with increases in the numbers of male nurses and in length of period of observation. Male nurses need more time to adapt to the nursing job market.
