摘要 Abstract
拓邊照顧工作是男護士在了解自己身爲女人工作世界中的少數（但不是劣勢）所做的一項爲自己以及護理的重新定義，並利用合適自己性別身分與方便的策略從事〈男性化的情境管理〉，藉此他們得以避免性別與工作角色的不對稱，爲自己以及護理界覓得發展空間，並爲自己的男性身分卻在女人工作職場中覓得安身之處。
拓邊的照顧工作也是一種從既有傳統護理（女性形象的護理）開擴到一種較爲中性，甚至配合男性角色與刻板印象的另一種護理。如此一來，男性護理人員得以在已至飽和（又是女人的）行業裡另闢發展空間有利於自己的前途發展，甚至因爲認出溝通與人際關係技巧是他們日常工作內容，並在此有優勢，他們藉此強調了護理工作由過往女人任職時所未能凸顯的工作任務與所需能力（以爲是女人天生會做而不予重視），在基於男性優勢的社會價值之上，把這些賦予新的價值並強調其重要性，但也因此重新再次鞏固了|生別分工，並爲男護理人員開拓出新的工作領域。

The role of male nurses is being redefined in a workplace with a female majority, as they find themselves engaged in to-called ”masculine situation management” that is gender appropriate and convenient. These two aspects of male nurses' coping strategy constitute their unique type of care work which can be defined as ”expanded carework”, a concept coined by the researcher to indicate niches that male nurses have found for themselves in a woman's profession.
The role of the male in care work has expanded conventional feminine nursing to include gender neutrality or male appropriateness. Male nurses can therefore develop a new prospective niche within an already saturated job market. The gender advantages for controlling and managing nurse-patient relationships are becoming obvious. Some claim that their masculinity is better suited for handling patients, coordinating disputes and controlling settings. Based on the social value of male superiority, male nurses have not only fortified the division of labor by gender, but as a result are exploring and enlarging the territory of work for nurses in general.
