Abstract:
In recent years, an increasing interest in researching the history of military nursing is common mainly among British and American researchers. Most of the studies focus on nurses' functions during the first and the second World Wars and have a national viewpoint. A comprehensive, international historical review of the history of military nursing is still lacking. In Israel, the research on the history of nursing is still in its infancy and in the field of military nursing only one research was conducted, focusing on nursing in Jerusalem during the Israeli war of independence. Therefore, the research which will be present at the seminar, aims to fill the gaps and describe, historically and chronologically, the development of the military nursing in Israel from its independence to the year 2000. The seminar presentation will be intended to point the main Israeli’s military nursing developmental milestones which have been collected at the last two years of research.
Speaker: Ronen Segev is a PhD candidate at Tel-Aviv University and is currently a teacher and Second year undergraduate nursing students’ coordinator in the Nursing Department at Ruppin Academic Center, Emek Hefer, Israel.
