The findings suggest that the experiences of male nurses and societal perceptions of their roles exhibit notable similarities across different regions of the world. Nursing education administrators, healthcare policymakers, and hospital managers should implement targeted strategies to reduce and ultimately eliminate the barriers faced by male nurses.
