  Cancer nurses have an important role to support and talk with patients receiving treatment. The profession makes high demands on nurses to identify with a patient´s suffering and engage with the patient´s inner life and psychosocial reactions. In this article I explore how gender is played out in treatment situations where female nurses in cancer care try to talk with male patients about their emotional reactions to illness. The article is based on a fieldwork conducted in a cancer clinic in Norway. The aim of the article is to give new insights into contextual and ethnographic descriptions of how female nurses in cancer care experience and interpret male patient´s needs to talk about their life situation in relation to illness. Inspired by Dorothy E. Smith´s (2005, 2006) critical sociology and the research method of institutional ethnography, I explore how institutional discourses of intimacy in caring theories come into play in gendered relations, and the type of challenges the female cancer nurses face in their everyday work communicating with male patients. I argue that the female nurse´s local experience of silent men and the strategies they use to communicate with them must be understood in the light of the gendered ideological framework of feminine nursing ethics and therapeutic coping discourses. In the analysis of the female nurse´s stories I draw on insights from theories of masculinities and men´s studies and interviews from male nurse informants from the education field. In the conclusion I argue the need for gender perspectives in nursing and caring theories. Keywords: Caring theory, female care practices, gender-neutral patient, masculinities, emotions, institutional ethnography, gender-relations.

• Lien, Marianne Inez & Lorentzen, Jørgen (2019). Men's Experiences of Violence in Intimate Relationships. Palgrave Macmillan. ISBN 9783030039943. 174 p. Full text in Research Archive Show summary

  This open access book draws on a broad study on violence against men, from both male and female partners in Norway, to contribute to the research on intimate partner violence. It identifies similarities in men's experiences and backgrounds, including in their perceptions of their own victimisation. Marianne Inez Lien and Jørgen Lorentzen argue that the traditional gender power model should be modified and supplemented, and propose that we consider violence in terms of psychological supremacy, rather than in terms of femininity and masculinity. Men's Experiences of Violence in Intimate Relationships will appeal to students and scholars across a range of areas including criminology, sociology and family violence, and gender studies.
