Author Harding, T.S.; North, N.; Perkins, R. openurl 
  Title Sexualizing men's touch: Male nurses and the use of intimate touch in clinical practice Type Journal Article
  Year 2008 Publication (up) Research & Theory for Nursing Practice Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 22 Issue 2 Pages 88-102  
  Keywords Male nurses; Nurse-patient relations; Gender  
  Abstract Drawn from a larger study, this article reports the experiences of a group of male nurses regarding the use of intimate physical touch. Using discourse analysis, interview data from 18 male nurses were analysed and related to existing text on men as nurses. The analysis reveals that although touch is important in nursing care, it is problematic for men because discourses have normalised women's use of touch as a caring behaviour and have sexualised men's touch. Participants described their vulnerability, how they protected themselves from risk, and the resulting stress. The complicity of nurses in sexualising men's touch and the neglect of educators in preparing men for providing intimate care are revealed. A paradox emerged whereby the very measures employed to protect both patients and men as nurses exacerbate the perceived risk posed by men carrying out intimate care. The authors suggest that deconstructing and reframing prevailing discourses around nursing, gender, and caring involving touch can help to legitimise men's involvement in physical caring.
