Nightingale in Scutari: her legacy reexamined.

چکیده
Nearly a century after the death of Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), historians continue to debate her legacy. We discuss her seminal work during the Crimean War (1854-1856), the nature of these interventions during the war, and her continued impact today. We argue that Florence Nightingale's influence today extends beyond her undeniable impact on the field of modern nursing to the areas of infection control, hospital epidemiology, and hospice care.

The stories shared in this book show contemporary readers that within nurses’ disciplinary heritage there exists vast knowledge and skills to address these challenges, if nurses will broaden their view to encompass not just a narrow slice of current scientific evidence but also the sound evidence and theoretical wisdom that the discipline has amassed since Nightingale sailed for Scutari and tra...
