    BACKGROUND: Nursing students may encounter occupational stigma due to prevailing stereotypes and perceptions of nursing as a gendered and undervalued profession. Occupational stigma in nursing can contribute to decreased motivation, limited job satisfaction, and hindered professional growth, potentially impacting students' career choices and commitment to the profession. AIM: This research explores how self-efficacy can mitigate the effects of occupational stigma among nursing students and promote gender equity by encouraging both male and female students to pursue nursing confidently and with a sense of professional pride. METHOD: This study utilized a cross-sectional descriptive research design on 560 nursing students, which was conducted at the Faculty of Nursing, XXX University, XXX. Three validated instruments were used: The Nurse Occupational Stigma Scale, The Gender Equity Scale in Nursing Education, and The Student Self-Efficacy Scale. Multiple linear regression was conducted to identify predictors of occupational stigma and gender equity, with AMOS software used for mediation analysis. FINDINGS: Gender equity was negatively correlated with nurse occupational stigma (r = -0.124, p = 0.003), a positive correlation was found between gender equity and student self-efficacy (r = 0.098, p = 0.020), and nurse occupational stigma had a strong positive correlation with student self-efficacy (r = 0.345, p < 0.001). The structural equation model (SEM) suggests that self-efficacy contributes directly to perceptions of occupational stigma without mediation by gender equity. Significant predictors of gender equity included age (p < 0.001) and gender, with females reporting lower gender equity (p < 0.001), income level (p = 0.029), academic level (third level, p < 0.001), and self-efficacy (p = 0.002). For nurse occupational stigma, predictors included age (p = 0.023), income (p = 0.002), academic level (p < 0.001), and self-efficacy (p < 0.001). RECOMMENDATION: The findings of this study highlight the importance of fostering inclusive and equitable environments in nursing education and practice settings. Promoting gender equity may help reduce occupational stigma, thereby improving job satisfaction and retention rates within the nursing profession.

    Introduction Gender equity has become a major concern in many professional fields. The rate of women as authors has to be interpreted according to the rate of women in the related professions. In this perspective, studying nurses' population should be of particular interest since, worldwide, nurses are mostly women. Then, our aim was to study gender disparity in nurses' publications. Methods We selected the three main journals dedicated to nurse publications: International Journal of Nursing Studies, Journal of Nursing Scholarship, and European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing. We included 20 recent consecutive papers from each journal. For each paper, the number of authors, their gender, and rank were recorded. Primary endpoint: Overall rate of women as authors. Secondary endpoints: Rate of women as first, last, second, and third authors. Results Sixty papers including 322 authors were analysed. Overall rate of women authors: 74%. Overall rate of women as first author: 82%. Overall rate of women as last author: 72%. Overall rate of women as second and third authors: Respectively, 80% and 70%. Conclusion Almost three-quarters of the authors in these main scientific journals of nursing studies were female. This rate is lower than the gender rate in the nursing profession. © 2021 SAGE Publications Inc.. All rights reserved.
