摘要

在人類歷史的記載中，護理並非屬於女性的工作。為何在二十一世紀的今天，護理成為一門最具性別隔離的職業。本文以台灣護理教育常用的教科書為文本分析的資料，企圖從護理知識的科學文本論述科學語言型塑護理成為女性職業的脈絡。本文從三方面論述，第一從南丁格爾提油燈的溫柔女性圖象，如何將男性邊緣化於護理專業的過程。第二從文本中對護理意涵的論述去分析隱藏在科學語言中的性別意識，如何將護理專業性別化，第三從從教育體系與政策說明不僅是科學文本，甚至是教育體制都是催化護理成為高度女性化的機制之一。護理並不是天生就是屬於女人的，而是逐漸成為女人的。在全球護理人力短缺的時代中，期望男性進入以女性為主導的護理專業，護理學者或教育家不得不從新思考並撰寫新的護理知識與論述。
