Description
Anat Romem and Violetta Rozani compare in 2024 how fully male and female nurses use their allowed range of duties in care for older patients. Their survey covered nurses with advanced training in elder care, working in hospitals, community services, and long-term care homes. A total of 286 nurses answered questions about their work and job satisfaction.
Male nurses reported using a broader scope of practice than female nurses. The gap showed in half of the sixteen tasks open to all registered nurses, and in five of nine tasks reserved for nurses with extra certification. The authors say such gaps can shape both satisfaction and patient care. They call on care organizations, schools, and policy makers to address them. Future work, they add, should follow nurses over time and weigh factors such as workplace culture and years since training.
