This paper is based on evidence from 118 ex-fever nurses. The method used, postal questionnaires, is rarely mentioned by oral historians, yet it proved invaluable in such a scattered target population. It shows the importance of collecting evidence before it is too late. This study gave the respondents a welcome opportunity to recall, analyse and reflect on their fever nursing practice. It complements the previous paper, 'The rise and demise of fever nursing' and confirms its findings.
本文基于118名曾从事发热护理工作的护士提供的证据。所采用的方法，即邮寄问卷调查，很少被口述历史学家提及，但事实证明，在这样一个分散的目标人群中，这种方法非常宝贵。它表明了及早收集证据的重要性。这项研究为受访者提供了一个难得的机会，让他们回忆、分析和反思自己的发热护理实践。它补充了之前的论文《发热护理的兴起与衰落》，并证实了其研究结果。
