Brief summary

Gender mainstreaming is a global development trend, as gender disparity has an impact on the development of the social, economic, political, and medical ecologies, as well as people's lives. Understand that gender education involves systematic and structured planning to break students' gender blindness. And to implement health and gender as essential foundations of human rights. Educators need to use systematic curriculum planning and design to conduct gender impact assessments on current curriculum, plans, or policies in the field of health care, so as to strengthen learners' analysis of health problems and consider gender factors at the same time. It is necessary to guide students to incorporate gender perspectives into their thinking so as to help students adopt diversified problem-solving strategies and actions in the care process. This study used a quasi-experimental research design. The students of a university nursing department were the research subjects. We had a total of 44 participants through a convenient sampling method (one class per week, two hours each time, for a total of 18 weeks). At the same time, we collected the subject's learning reflections on gender issues and conducted the content analysis. The gender stereotype and role attitude scale were used as instruments, and the data were analyzed by the paired t-test method using the software package SPSS 21.0. The research results showed that through the concept of empowerment, students can be enlightened about their gender concepts, explicit knowledge can be transformed into tacit knowledge, and the empowerment process can prompt individuals to truly understand, apply knowledge, and start from the subject experience of learning, also transforming their learning experience. Individuals can become aware of their behaviors, thereby generating problem-solving abilities and practical actions with the gender perspective.

Detailed description

Gender mainstreaming is an important international trend, and staff in the health care system are also affected by this trend, and jointly advocate for the implementation of gender sensitivity in the medical care field. Therefore, it is understood that the promotion of gender education requires systematic and structural planning to break the gender blindness of students and to implement health and gender as an important basis for human rights. Educators need to use systematic curriculum planning and design to conduct gender impact assessments on current curriculum, plans, or policies in the field of health care, so as to strengthen learners' analysis of health problems and consider gender factors at the same time. It is necessary to guide students to incorporate gender perspectives into their thinking so as to help students adopt diversified problem-solving strategies and actions in the care process. This study used a quasi-experimental research design. The students of a university nursing department were the research subjects. We had a total of 44 participants through a convenient sampling method (one class per week, two hours each time, for a total of 18 weeks).
