Description
This volume is an account of the origin of the work of public health nursing, its evolution and the causes which underlie its development and which have produced its variations. The work discusses how the growth of social self-consciousness reacted on the charities of the Middle Ages; how the industrial revolution brought about a readjustment of social conditions and finally how the advance in preventive medicine and the development of the art of nursing, produced and made inevitable, the Public Health Nurse. Experience of nursing in Europe, the UK and the USA is discussed.
