The vast devastation caused by both the First World War and the influenza pandemic of 1918 led to an increased worldwide demand for public health nurses. In response to this demand, a number of new public health training programs for nurses were started at both national and international levels. At the international level, one of two influential programs in this area included a year-long public health nursing course offered by the League of Red Cross Societies, in conjunction with Bedford College in London, England. In total, 341 nurses from 49 different countries have been documented as participants in this initiative throughout the interwar period, including 20 Canadians. Using archival material from the Canadian Nurses Association and the Royal College of Nursing, as well as articles from the journals Canadian Nurse, American Journal of Nursing and British Journal of Nursing, this paper examines these nurses' commitment to internationalism throughout their careers and explores the effect of this commitment on the development of nursing education and professionalization at the national level.
第一次世界大战和1918年流感大流行造成的巨大破坏导致全球对公共卫生护士的需求增加。为响应这一需求，在国家和国际层面都启动了一些针对护士的新公共卫生培训项目。在国际层面，该领域两个有影响力的项目之一包括红十字会与红新月会国际联合会与英国伦敦贝德福德学院联合提供的为期一年的公共卫生护理课程。在两次世界大战期间，共有来自49个不同国家的341名护士被记录为参与了该项目，其中包括20名加拿大人。本文利用加拿大护士协会和皇家护理学院的档案材料，以及《加拿大护士》《美国护理杂志》和《英国护理杂志》上的文章，研究了这些护士在整个职业生涯中对国际主义的承诺，并探讨了这种承诺对国家层面护理教育和专业化发展的影响。
