Regressional analysis of attitudes toward male nurses.
This study examined the relationship between six demographic variables of 174 respondents and acceptance of males in the nursing profession. Multiple regression analysis indicated that only two variables, respondents' educational level and sex, significantly predicted attitudes toward male nurses. The implications inherent in these findings are discussed in light of the minority role status occupied by male nurses.
