This article is a continuation of a study on nursing at the Santa Creu Hospital in Barcelona; this article is concentrates on the second half of the 19th Century, a period characterized by great development in the medical fields and by important social changes which render obsolete the social-sanitary assistance model in vogue until that time in that hospital. Without noticing any special novelties in regards to nursing care, which continues in the hands of religious communities, the authors observe a growing influence of the medical corps in making decisions which affect both the treatment provided to patients and the internal organization of this hospital. As a consequence of the development of medicine, the role of paramedics also increases as they assume an almost total role of collaboration. The care takers were then generally called "sisters" or "brothers", reserving the term "nurse" for the caretakers designated to nursing departments.
本文是关于巴塞罗那圣十字医院护理研究的延续；本文聚焦于19世纪下半叶，这一时期医学领域取得了巨大发展，社会也发生了重大变革，使得该医院此前流行的社会卫生援助模式过时。在护理工作仍由宗教团体掌控、未发现护理方面有任何特别新奇之处的情况下，作者们观察到医务人员在做出影响患者治疗及医院内部组织的决策方面的影响力日益增强。随着医学的发展，医护辅助人员的作用也在增加，因为他们几乎承担了全部协作角色。当时的护理人员通常被称为“姐妹”或“兄弟”，而“护士”一词则专门用于指分配到护理部门的护理人员。
