Resumo: | European nursing as we know it was influenced by the work of Florence Nightingale, who established the basis for nurses’ professional training. According with 19th century literature, nursing was practiced by auxiliary staff, without any technical knowledge or moral qualities to fulfill their functions, everyday more demanding due to technical and scientific progress. Portuguese nursing was no exception. This article analyses the slow evolution of the nursing craft in the specific case of Porto (Portugal) during the second half of the 19th century. The sources used are manuscript and printed coeval documents kept at the Central Library of the Hospital Centre of Porto and at the Archives of the Holy House of Mercy of Porto. As for the methodology, procedures of documental analysis were used, as well as the contextualization and categorization of the documents, and the cross referencing of contents and sources. It was found that there was an ongoing moral reform of the nursing ward staff that aimed to provide them with the basic concepts of professional deontology and an acceptable social conduct. We have concluded that in Porto these reforms were precursors of the need to give nurses a specific training for an effective health care. |

Segundo os registos do século XIX, a enfermagem era exercida por pessoal auxiliar, sem conhecimentos técnicos nem qualidades morais para desempenhar as suas funções, cada vez mais exigentes devido aos progressos técnicos e científicos. O caso português não foi exceção. Este estudo analisa a lenta evolução do ofício de enfermagem no Hospital Real de Santo António, no Porto - Portugal, na segunda metade do século XIX. As fontes em uso são documentos manuscritos e impressos coevos pertencentes ao acervo da Biblioteca Central do Centro Hospitalar do Porto e do Arquivo da Santa Casa da Misericórdia do Porto. Quanto à metodologia utilizada, recorreu-se a procedimentos de análise documental, sua contextualização e categorização, bem como à triangulação de conteúdos e fontes. Verificou-se que, no Hospital Real de Santo António, estava em curso uma reforma moral do pessoal das enfermarias que pretendia incutir conceitos básicos de deontologia profissional e uma conduta social ajustada às exigências caritativas de então. Conclui-se que, no Porto, estas reformas foram precursoras da necessidade de dotar os enfermeiros de formação específica para uma efetiva prestação de cuidados.Escola Superior de Enfermagem de Lisboa - ESEL/ CIDNUR2013-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.56732/pensarenf.v17i2.82https://doi.org/10.56732/pensarenf.v17i2.82Pensar Enfermagem ; Vol. 17 No. 2 (2013): Journal of Nursing Pensar Enfermagem; 35-43Pensar Enfermagem ; Vol. 17 N.º 2 (2013): Revista Científica Pensar Enfermagem; 35-431647-55260873-890410.56732/pensarenf.v17i2reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://pensarenfermagem.esel.pt/index.php/esel/article/view/82https://pensarenfermagem.esel.pt/index.php/esel/article/view/82/77da Silva, HelenaVieira, Franciscoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-09-26T10:37:56Zoai:pensarenfermagem.esel.pt:article/82Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T20:31:09.598202Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
