Sommario/riassunto |
|
Poliomyelitis, better known as polio, thoroughly stumped the medical science community. Polio's impact remained highly visible and sometimes lingered, exacting a priceless physical toll on its young victims and their families as well as transforming their social worlds. |

This social history of infantile paralysis is plugged into the rich and dynamic developments of the United States during the first half of the twentieth century. Children became epidemic refugees because of anachronistic public health policies and practices. They entered the emerging, clinical world of the hospital, rupturing physical and emotional connections with their parents and siblings. As they underwent rehabilitation, they created ward cultures. They returned home to occasionally find hostile environments and always discover changed relationships due to their disabilities. The changing concept of the child, from an economic asset to an emotional commitment, medical advances, and improved sanitation policies led to significant improvements in child health and welfare. This study, relying on published autobiographies, memoirs, and oral histories, captures the impact of this disease on children's personal lives, encompassing public-health policies, hospitalization, philanthropic and organizational responses, physical therapy, family life, and schooling. It captures the anger, frustration, and terror not only among children but parents, neighbors, and medical professionals alike. |

dans un hôpital, faire des prises de sang. Je trouvais ça vraiment crétin comme métier!" Rien ne semblait prédisposer Madame Maceira à devenir infirmière. Voilà pourtant 15 ans qu’elle exerce cette profession avec passion en psychiatrie. Mais sans blouse, sans faire de prises de sang, et loin de l’hôpital. Elle n’est donc pas une infirmière comme les autres. Mais qui sont donc ces autres infirmières? Existe-t-il une infirmière type? Est-ce nécessairement une femme qui, touchée par une vocation précoce, exerce dans un hôpital au chevet des patients? En répondant à ces questions, les auteurs dressent un portrait totalement inédit de la profession qui rompt avec son apparente homogénéité. S’appuyant sur plusieurs dizaines d’entretiens et près de 3000 questionnaires, ils révèlent l’existence d’un espace infirmier fortement différencié et hiérarchisé, dans lequel les différents points de vue professionnels sont étroitement liés aux positions occupées. À l’heure où la profession se trouve confrontée à des enjeux majeurs (pénurie de personnel, vieillissement de la population, rationalisation des soins, académisation des formations et développement de la recherche), ce livre constitue un outil de compréhension précieux pour tous les professionnels de santé et les étudiants. En mobilisant la théorie des champs de Pierre Bourdieu, il contribue plus largement au renouvellement de l’analyse sociologique des professions. |
