Help w/ Male Nursing Survey


Hey guys I'm taking a sociology class and one of the assignments is to research something related to nursing. So the topic I picked was: Female generational differences in attitudes towards having a male nurse provide care for them.

My hypothesis is: I think that if the woman is younger than 35 or older than 65 they will be less susceptible towards having a male nurse provide their care.

I need to come up with some questions to put into a survey so that I can see if my hypothesis is correct or not. I'm just having some problems coming up with questions to ask. I have the obvious questions like: what is your age, would you let a young male be your student nurse, and would you let a young male nurse provide morning care (ie bathing, dressing, etc...).

Can you guys help me come up with some other questions that I could put into my survey?

Thanks in advance!

Tim

Not to throw a money wrench into the works, but you might also want to consider a question like: "In view of your body and persoanl care, do you see any difference in the way you would treat a male if he was a nurse or a doctor? If so, why?

This will be a loaded question, but it will help to expose any double standards the woman might have as far as the roles of men.

If she would let a male doctor perform the same tasks as a male nurse, then she should not have a problem with a male nurse period....right?

You need in my opinion questions like these to help weed out the respondents that are not consistent in their ideas/beliefs. They can feel one way about a situation that is in direct opposition to another, which will skew your data.
