Özet:

The study aimed at determining a second and third-class university male nursing students' professional perception styles using phenomenological approaches. The study was conducted with six male nursing students. Since clinical experience and observation began to develop from the second class in nursing education, students from the second class were selected to research. The research data was collected using the student data form and the semi-configured interview form. After the research data was collected, the interviews by the researcher were read several times and the relevant topics and sub-themes were determined. Themes and sub-themes are created in the framework of analysis and evaluation. The topics arising from the analysis of the data are: career choice, gender-based patterns, individual perception of the profession and future plans. In the gender-based patterns, participants have often stated that they are needed in situations that require strength in the clinic. In the theme of choosing the nursing profession, the reasons for the participants to choose the profession are determined. Economic reasons are among these reasons to be a field related to health and to choose the department according to the university exam results. Because the number of male students in nursing is less than the girls, second and third-class male students have noted that they have become the focus of their interest by teachers. In nursing education, the teachers should not make the approach to male students a priority and a pressure, the male students should ensure that they express themselves in a comfortable manner. Keywords: male nursing students, professional perception, qualification study
