[Humane treatment in hospitals - The development of patient-oriented care in the 1970s and 1980s]
Abstract:
The 1960s saw a fundamental shift in everyday nursing care, from an understanding of nursing that encompassed the body and soul of the sick to a biomedical understanding of illness. Due to economic constraints and a shortage of nursing staff, nursing work became more intense - as a result of rationalization and the resulting acceleration of work. This led to a reduction in contact between nurses and patients. Nurses responded by developing concepts of patient-oriented care or holistic care. The research for this article is based on the evaluation of nursing textbooks and the review of nursing journals.
