Focusing on the evolution of nurses' health from 1880 to 1948, the book explores how societal views on nursing shaped the experiences of both psychiatric and voluntary hospital nurses. It analyzes changes in health management against a backdrop of social, political, and economic shifts, linking historical practices to contemporary issues like high sickness absence rates among nurses. By including perspectives on male nurses and asylum care, it addresses themes of gender, class, and professionalization, making it relevant for those studying nursing, medicine, and occupational health.
