The paper reports on the new phenomena which have occurred in the Western countries during recent three decades. The main stress has been put on the principles of methodology and the scope of the research involved in so-called social history of medicine, taking the U.S.A., France and Germany as the example. Research scope and methodological approach to the history of public health has been also discussed, using as an example G. Rosen's A History of Public Health and E. Fee's remarks on the work contained in its second (extended) edition. It has been concluded that the research workers dealing with the Polish history of medicine ought to assimilate the results of both research trends quoted above.
该论文报道了近三十年来西方国家出现的新现象。主要强调了方法论原则以及所谓医学社会史研究所涉及的研究范围，并以美国、法国和德国为例。还以G. 罗森的《公共卫生史》以及E. 费对其第二版（扩充版）中所包含作品的评论为例，讨论了公共卫生史的研究范围和方法论方法。得出的结论是，研究波兰医学史的工作者应该吸收上述两种研究趋势的成果。
