Purpose : The purpose of this study was to analyze research keywords on male nurses in recent studies, ultimately deriving implications for the difficulties in job adaptation and intention to change jobs due to gender stereotypes experienced by male nurses, and further suggesting future research directions. Methods : From January 2010 to December 2023, we collected and analyzed papers related to male nurses published in domestic academic journals using database such as RISS and KISS. Results : Twenty eight papers were finally selected, and the keyword analysis results showed that the most common keywords were in the order of ‘job satisfaction’, ‘intention to change jobs’, ‘gender stereotypes’, ‘gender roles’, and ‘job engagement’. Conclusion : Male nurses frequently experience social stereotypes such as ‘gender stereotypes’ and ‘gender roles’ in their nursing work, and this can have a negative impact on job satisfaction and lead to turnover. Therefore, it is expected to suggest a direction for future research.
