    Area of Science:

    • Occupational health
    • Public health surveillance
    • Medical care analysis

    Background:

    • Assessing healthcare utilization in non-traditional settings is crucial for understanding population health needs.
    • The 1974 summer holiday camp environment presented unique medical challenges.
    • Previous data on healthcare seeking behaviors in recreational settings was limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the medical needs of individuals at a 1974 summer holiday camp.
    • To compare healthcare seeking behaviors with a comparable home population.
    • To evaluate the clinical content, outcomes, and the role of the camp nurse in consultations.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of medical consultations during summer 1974.
    • Comparison of patient consultation rates between the holiday camp and a general population.
    • Qualitative analysis of the clinical content of consultations.
    • Evaluation of consultation outcomes and the nursing role.

    Main Results:

    • Doctor consultations were approximately 50% of expected rates compared to the home population.
    • Camp nurse consultations were three times more frequent than doctor consultations.
    • The clinical nature and outcomes of consultations were systematically analyzed.

    Conclusions:

    • Camp nurses played a significantly expanded role in primary healthcare delivery at the holiday camp.
    • Healthcare seeking patterns differ in recreational environments compared to home settings.
    • Findings underscore the importance of nursing services in accessible healthcare provision during leisure periods.
