Discovering the ethos of serving in nursing leadership from the first half of the 20th century in three Nordic countries - an idea-historical research approach.

The history of ideas may contribute to an awareness and an opening up of deep-seated currents of thought that have shaped the inner core of the caring culture and an ethical value base - the ethos of serving in nursing leadership. This article studies how serving as an ethos is represented, which becomes visible and evident in Sophie Mannerheim's, Bertha Wellin's and Bergljot Larsson's nursing leadership. This article also seeks to describe the main features of the idea-historical research approach the way in which it is represented within the caring science-tradition. An idea-historical methodological approach informed by Gadamer's philosophy was used for the hermeneutical interpretation within a caring science perspective. Primary and secondary historical sources were explored in the light of nursing praxis and serving. Three general idea patterns were discovered: the innermost room of the heart as the idea of serving, the action of the hand as acts of love and a cultivation of the head towards nursing leadership. These ideas open for a new vision that can bring out new patterns for action in the present and in the nursing leadership of the future.

Sanidad y la II República Española (1931-1936): la creación de la figura de la primera Directora de Enfermeras / Saúde e da Segunda República Espanhola (1931-1936): a criação da figura do primeiro Director of Nurses / Health and the Second Spanish Republic (1931-1936): the creation of the figure of the first Head of Nurses

Introducción: La sanidad en España, como en otros tantos países, fue una preocupación máxima para sus gobernante. Pero es durante la Segunda República Española (1931-1936) cuando esta inquietud se hace más viva. Para su mejora se destinó un presupuesto que, ejercicio tras ejercicio, fue aumentando para solventar los graves problemas que sufría, buscando tan solo la modernización de las infraestructuras existentes y la creación de otras tantas nuevas, además de lograr una máxima cualificación de sus profesionales. Esta última fue de considerable calado equiparándola con los flamantes ejemplos de otros muchos países europeos que apostaban por dejar atrás modelos anclados en el medievo y dar paso a un sistema que funcionara como una "máquina de sanación". Objetivo: Establecer cuando surge por primera vez en España la figura de la Directora de Enfermeras. Método: Se realizó un "examen exhaustivo" de la documentación custodiados en el Archivo del Excelentísimo Cabildo Insular de Santa Cruz de Tenerife y bibliográficamente. Resultados: En Canarias, como en otros tantos lugares de la "piel de toro", las reformas se procuraron profundas. Un claro ejemplo de ello fue el reglamento, de corto tiempo en vigor, formulado por el consejero del Cabildo Insular de Tenerife Miguel Bethencourt del Rio, que daba un giro a la organización existente hasta ese momento. Conclusiones: Entre los cambios destacó la creación de la figura de Directora de Enfermeras, inédita hasta la fecha, y que hubo que esperar al ocaso de la Dictadura Franquista para verla nuevamente en la Sanidad Española (AU)

Introduction: Healthcare in Spain, as in many other countries, was a top concern for their ruler. But it is during the Second Spanish Republic (1931-1936) when this restlessness becomes more alive. To improve it was allocated a budget that, after exercise, was increased to solve the serious problems that suffered, seeking only the modernization of existing infrastructures and the creation of so many new ones, in addition to achieving a maximum qualification of its professionals. This last one was of considerable draft, matching it with the flamboyant examples of many other European countries that bet on leaving behind models anchored in the Middle Ages and giving way to a system that functions as a "healing machine". Objective: Establish when the figure of the Director of Nurses emerges for the first time in Spain. Method: A "thorough examination" of the documentation was carried out in the Archive of the Very Insular Cabildo of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and bibliographically. Results: In the Canary Islands, as in many other places in the "bullskin", the reforms were pursued deep. A clear example of this was the regulation, of short time in force, formulated by the councilor of the Insular Cabildo of Tenerife Miguel Bethencourt of the River, that gave a turn to the existing organization until that momento. Conclusions: Among the changes highlighted the creation of the figure of Director of Nurses, unpublished until now, and that we had to wait for the sunset of the Franco dictatorship to see it again in the Spanish Health (AU)

Courage under Adversity: Luba Bielicka-Blum (1906-1973) and the Nursing School of the Warsaw Ghetto.

The Warsaw Ghetto was a place where Jews were kept until deportation to Nazi death camps. It contained a nursing school, run by Luba Bielicka-Blum. We explore the contribution of Luba Bielicka-Blum to nursing and specifically, the nursing school of the Warsaw Ghetto by using primary sources of Bielicka-Blum's daughter's archive held by Yad Veshem, supported by secondary sources. We conclude that, despite extreme hardship and abject horror, the nursing school in the Warsaw Ghetto continued to provide the highest level of nursing education possible. The relatively unknown story of Luba Bielicka-Blum and her determination to continue the education of nurses in the Warsaw Ghetto demonstrates the courage of a nursing leader during dreadful times.
