HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF NURSING
In ancient times there’s only little evidence of
establishing a foundation of nursing.
It was not until the early Christian period that
nursing took root.
Muriel Richard identifies three heritage from past
that inhibit the progress of nursing…
- Folk image of the nurse
- The religious image of the nurse
- The servant image of nurse
THE FOLK IMAGE OF THE NURSE
Ancient times women carried major responsibility
e.g: nourishing children, caring elderly.
It is assumed that in early civilization there would
be people who took special interest in meeting
the needs of the sick.
superstition and black magic played major role in
the treatment rendered & there was a close
relationship between religion & healing arts
