The rapid advances in technology during the twentieth century have encouraged science and technology to be the main focus of the nursing curricula. The effect of this focus tends to hinder the importance of the human condition. This paper discusses the benefits of including the humanities, particularly but not exclusively the inclusion of literary study in nursing curricula. It is argued that the study of popular literature by students of nursing provides them with the opportunity to understand and to appreciate life experiences. This assists them in gaining awareness and sensitivity to the many physical and psychological components of people's reactions to health, illness and hospitalization. The power of literary study to promote an appreciation of the hurt and pain of disease is considered by the authors to be an effective teaching tool within a comprehensive programme for students of nursing.
二十世纪技术的飞速发展促使科学技术成为护理课程的主要焦点。这种关注的影响往往会阻碍对人文状况重要性的认识。本文讨论了将人文学科纳入护理课程的益处，特别是但不限于将文学研究纳入其中。有人认为，护理专业的学生学习通俗文学能让他们有机会理解和欣赏生活经历。这有助于他们认识到并敏感地意识到人们对健康、疾病和住院治疗反应中的许多生理和心理因素。作者认为，文学研究在促进对疾病伤痛的理解方面所具有的力量，是护理专业学生综合课程中的一种有效教学工具。
