Drawing on a wealth of primary documents, this historical research describes nurses' efforts regarding early 20th century pediatric tuberculosis care in Virginia. Virginia nurses played a leadership role in designing a template for children's care. Ultimately, however, their legacy is a mixed one. They helped forge a system funded by a complicated, poorly coordinated, race- and class-based mix of public and private support that is now delivered through an idiosyncratic web of community, state, and federal programs. However, they also took courageous action, and their efforts improved the lives of many children. By so doing, they helped invent pediatric nursing.
本历史研究借鉴了大量原始文献，描述了弗吉尼亚州护士在 20 世纪初儿科结核病护理方面所做的努力。弗吉尼亚州的护士在为儿童护理设计模板方面发挥了领导作用。然而，最终他们的遗产是喜忧参半的。他们帮助建立了一个由公共和私人支持的复杂、协调不力、基于种族和阶级的混合资金系统，该系统现在通过社区、州和联邦计划的独特网络提供服务。然而，他们也采取了勇敢的行动，他们的努力改善了许多儿童的生活。通过这样做，他们帮助发明了儿科护理。
