目标：本文探讨了天主教护理兄弟会的宗教信仰、实践和表现，以及性别在本文中的作用。背景：美国的护理是在关怀的文化框架内发展起来的，是妇女在家庭和社区中角色的一部分。然而，一项对阿列克谢兄弟的研究挑战了在大多数护理性别分析中“女性”的主导地位。方法：在性别、宗教和护理的更广泛的史学文献框架内，使用历史方法论来评估和解释数据。在分析护理、宗教和性别时，主要通过照片和书面文献对女性的表现给予了关注。在本文中，同样的来源也用于男性。结果：亚历克西斯兄弟和他们所教育的男性的故事证明了性别和宗教在护理史上的力量。这些男性建立了一套关怀制度，承认这不仅是女性的责任，也是男性的责任。当她们声称他们的有偿工作是基督教的召唤时，她们重新谈判了男子汉气概的主导概念。在这样做的过程中，男护士在一系列代表中导航，从护士到学校管理人员，到军人，到宗教人士，再到科学医学的专业从业者。医院和护理学校男性空间中的这些自我表现旨在揭穿对女性男性的刻板印象，它们挑战了传统的空间界限。
Objectives:This article explores religious beliefs, practices, and representations of the Alexian Brothers, a religious order of Catholic nursing brothers, and the role of gender in this discourse.Background:Nursing in the United States developed within a cultural framework of caring as part of women's roles in families and communities. Yet, a study of the Alexian Brothers challenges the dominance of the" female" in most gender analyses of nursing.Methods:Historical methodology is used to evaluate and interpret data within the broader framework of historiographical literature on gender, religion, and nursing. In analyzing nursing, religion, and gender, attention has been paid to representations, mainly of women, through photographs and written literature. In this article, the same sources are used for men.Results:The story of the Alexian Brothers and the men they educated is a testament to the power of gender and religion in nursing history. These men carved out a system of caring that recognized it as a responsibility not only of women but also of men. As they asserted that their paid work was a Christian calling, they renegotiated dominant notions of masculinity. In doing so, male nurses navigated among an array of representations, from nurse, to school administrator, to military soldier, to religious person, to professional practitioner of scientific medicine. These self-representations in the masculine spaces of the hospital and nursing school were designed to debunk stereotypes of feminine men, and they challenged traditional spatial boundaries.
