This study analyses the origins of a widely used textbook of nursing, commonly utilised in North American Schools of Nursing since 1922, and eventually worldwide. A biography of its first author, Bertha Harmer, is also included.
Tracing central ideas of nursing throughout the various editions, the book provides a commentary on the cultural-historical context of nursing and reveals how nursing leaders conceptualised the day-to-day knowledge base nurses would need for their practice.
Historical analysis.
The core nursing concept of 'human needs' was central to Harmer's work and thinking.
Its continuous development by her and her later co-author, Virginia Henderson, reflected broader changes in nursing that were central to the construction of nursing as hospital-based care during the twentieth century. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE AND CONCLUSION: Renewal of nursing practice exists by the virtue of nurses' collective ability to question continuously and critically, the foundations of their practice. Historical analysis of core nursing concepts is one approach to further such critique.
本研究分析了一本广泛使用的护理教科书的起源，自1922年以来，北美护理学院普遍使用该书，最终在全球范围内使用。书中还包括其第一作者伯莎·哈默的传记。
通过追溯该书各版中的核心护理理念，本书对护理的文化历史背景进行了评论，并揭示了护理领导者如何将护士日常实践所需的知识库概念化。
历史分析。
“人类需求”这一核心护理概念是哈默工作与思想的核心。
她和她后来的合著者弗吉尼亚·亨德森对其不断发展，反映了护理领域更广泛的变化，这些变化是20世纪将护理构建为以医院为基础的护理的核心。与临床实践的相关性及结论：护理实践的更新源于护士持续批判性地质疑其实践基础的集体能力。对核心护理概念的历史分析是推进此类批判的一种方法。
