The only detailed surving Male and Female Registers of Roundway provide a rich documentary glimpse of nineteenth century mental health care staff. An analysis is made of what constituted desirable behavior and problems occurring in the workplace. More primary source material has been gathered from visitors books, medical superintendents' reports, patient case records, admission/discharge registers and account books. An attempt will be made to show how the dominant characteristics of Victorianism shaped the lives of the staff. Religion, morality and personal qualities appear more influential than scientific inquiry in determining the pattern of events. The 'Asylum for the Pauper Insane of the County of Wiltshire' later came to be called 'Roundway Hospital'. It is commonly remembered as 'Roundway' and that is how it is referred to here. The nursing staff changed their titles in minor ways during the period considered, but for convenience the dominant titles - 'attendants' for men and 'nurses' for women - are used. The period chosen, 1881-1905, begins from when Dr John Bowes was appointed Medical Superintendent and started to write in the new Staff Registers. The period finishes when he ceased to make entries. There are no detailed registers for any other nineteenth century period.
朗德韦现存唯一详细的男性和女性登记册，让我们得以一窥19世纪精神卫生保健工作人员的丰富资料。本文分析了理想行为的构成要素以及工作场所出现的问题。我们从访客登记簿、医务主任报告、患者病例记录、出入院登记册和账簿中收集了更多原始资料。本文将试图展示维多利亚时代的主要特征如何塑造了这些工作人员的生活。在决定事件模式方面，宗教、道德和个人品质似乎比科学探究更具影响力。“威尔特郡贫民疯人院”后来被称为“朗德韦医院”。人们通常简称为“朗德韦”，本文也沿用此称呼。在本文所涉时期，护理人员的头衔有一些细微变化，但为方便起见，仍使用主要头衔——男性为“护理员”，女性为“护士”。所选时期为1881年至1905年，始于约翰·鲍斯医生被任命为医务主任并开始在新的员工登记册上记录之时，止于他停止记录之日。没有其他19世纪时期的详细登记册。
