The origin of

There has been nursing since the human, nursing is the instinct and need for people to seek survival.In the struggle with nature, ancient people suffered from the damage of wild animals and the destruction of the harsh natural environment, so self-protection became the first need.In the application of fire, Sinanthropus pekinensis gradually realized that hot rocks and sand could not only provide local heat, but also eliminate pain.Primitive men created bian stones and stone needles as instruments of healing.When human society developed to the era of matriarchal clan commune, men were responsible for hunting and women were responsible for managing the internal affairs of the clan, gathering wild plants and taking care of the old, young, sick and disabled. Thus, the embryonic form of the family emerged.Nursing is often a symbol of maternal love and a wife’s love for her husband.The initial sense of family or self-care becomes the cradle for nurturing the growth of life, which develops along with the existence of human beings and their understanding of nature.

The ancient care

The integration of medical care is one of the characteristics of ancient nursing. Before the 19th century, there was no nursing profession in any country in the world.Hippocrates, the “father of medicine” in ancient Greece, devoted himself to nursing, teaching patients to rinse their mouths, guiding the appreciation of music for the mentally ill, and regulating the diet of those with heart and kidney diseases — all of which, in modern times, would be considered restorative care.There is no “nursing” in the monograph of traditional Chinese medicine, but an important principle of treating diseases in traditional Chinese medicine is “three treatments, seven treatments”.It includes improving the patient’s recuperation environment and state of mind, strengthening nutrition conditioning, paying attention to the combination of dynamic and static physical exercise, etc., which are the essence of TCM syndrome differentiation.Famous doctors in the past dynasties such as Hua Tuo – he was good at surgery, medical skill, and medical care.Li Shizhen, the author of compendium of Materia Medica, a masterpiece of Traditional Chinese medicine in the Ming Dynasty, was a famous pharmacologist, but he was also good at medicine care and decocting and feeding medicine for patients.The earliest medical classic of China, huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor’s Canon of Internal Medicine), records the health care idea of “not treating your existing illness”, and the holistic view of “if you have a disease with your family and you ask about its nature, you should pay attention to its meaning”.There is also the catheterization of scallion leaves by inserting the tip into the urethra and drawing out urine created by Sun Simiao, an outstanding medical expert in the Tang Dynasty.In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, some nursing techniques, such as burning wormwood leaves, spraying realgar wine to disinfect air and environment, and using steam disinfection to treat clothes of infected people, were used to prevent and treat the plague.

Another characteristic of ancient nursing was that it was deeply influenced by religion.Under the domination of Eastern Buddhism and Western Christianity, saving the sick and disabled became a religious charity.The application of science and technology is limited in the treatment and nursing of patients by monks and nuns, mainly taking care of patients with the humanitarian spirit of compassion and mercy.Because of the limitation of history, nursing before the 15th century could only exist as a kind of labor service, which was in the stage of home nursing and experience nursing.

The modern nursing

Modern nursing started on the basis of the development of biomedicine after the Middle Ages.The Belgian doctor Vesalius (1514-1561) dissected cadavers and wrote the first human anatomy using direct observation.William Harver (1578 ~ 1675), an English doctor, discovered blood circulation by experimental method.Subsequently, a series of medical inventions and breakthroughs such as bacteriology, sterilization and anesthesia laid a theoretical foundation for the establishment of modern nursing science and provided conditions for practical development.

FlorenceNightingale, one of the founders of modern nursing and nurse education (florencene ghtingale,1820 ~ 1910), made great contributions to the development of nursing as a science and a profession.Nightingale in the Crimean war in the outstanding achievements and sacrifice of the wounded, recognized by the International Red Cross as the beginning of the Work of the Red Cross.In recognition of her achievements, she was decorated by the British Royal Family in 1883;In 1912, the International Committee of the Red Cross decided to establish the Nightingale Medal as the highest honor for outstanding nurses from all over the world who have made outstanding contributions.People in honor of her birthday May 12 as the International Nurses Day.With her dedication to nursing, Nightingale became a model for nurses all over the world.She is the founder of modern nursing.
