Care without bias — does gender matter? : The nurse’s role in women’s mistreatment (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Könsdiskriminering påverkar kvinnors liv, ekonomi och hälsa, över hela världen. Hälso- och sjukvården har en etisk obligation att likvärdigt behandla patienter och framförallt sjuksköterskan via dess koder och professionalitet.

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka förekomsten av könsskillnader inom hälso- och sjukvård för kvinnor.

Metod: Litteraturöversikt med induktiv ansats som utgår från ett feministiskt Standpoint Theory ramverk. Kvalitativa såsom kvantitativa artiklar används.

Resultat: Olika nivåer och instanser av sjukvården präglas av könsskillnader som negativt påverkar kvinnor. Områden såsom smärta, medicinering, psykiatri och akademi har någon form av könsdiskriminering i sig.

Konklusion: Orsaken till könsskillnaderna anses vara normativt tankesätt, misogyni och ett androcentriskt system på vården. Sjuksköterskor har en etisk och laglig plikt att förhindra negativa könsskillnader och bias för att bredda sitt helhetsvårdande perspektiv.

Abstract [en]

Background: Discrimination on the base of gender affects the economy, lives and health of women, all over the world. Health care as an institue possesses a legal and ethical obligation to deliver indiscriminate care and especially registered nurses.

Aim: The aim of the study is to examine the presence of gender differences in health care of women.

Method: A literature review—with the approach of induction—that works within the feminist Standpoint Theory’s framework. The study utilize both qualitative and quantiative data from other academic literature.

Findings: Gender differences that negatively affect women was found to be present in a variety of settings and levels of health care. Examples of these areas were pain, mediciation, psychiatry and academia.

Conclusion: The cause behind the results could be ascribed to normative thinking, mysoginy and systemic androcentrism. Registered nurses have an ethical duty to prevent gendered differences and biases that negatively impact women in health care. It would also broaden their holistic caring perspective.
