CHAPTER IV
THE EVOLUTION OF NURSING
“God spoke to me and called me to his service.”
- Florence Nightingale
This chapter focuses on the development of Nursing Science
during the early and late 20" century as the study of nursing evolved from
the works of Florence Nightingale, especially during the Crimean War. It
focuses on the two opposing use of reason to prove nursing science, which
is rationalism and empiricism
Nursing at its beginning
Nursing started in the intuitive way of caring for the sick members
of the family. Traditionally, the roles of women are limited as wives,
mothers, daughters and sisters. They are the ones who stayed at home
and took care of the family. As each woman developed separate practices
in taking care of the family, different ways of caring for the sick emerged
In ancient civilizations, providing care revolves around the use of
magical thinking, superstitious and religious beliefs. However, non-magical
forms of service still emerged. Female slaves are usually the ones who
provide physical maintenance and comfort for the sick. Their actions are
usually ordered by a master, healer or priest.
In Egypt, people worshiped the Goddess Isis and her son Horus,
as they are believed to manipulate the dreams of the sick. The earliest
documented forms of service and law governing the practice medicine was
first noted under the Code of Hammurabi in Babylonia in the year 1900
BC. However, nursing roles were not clearly defined in the code.
Interestingly, nursing roles were mentioned in the Old Testament of the
Bible as women provide and assist in the care of children and infants in
delivery. In Greece and Rome, care of the sick revolves around mythology.
They believed in the works of Asklepios as the Greek god and chief healer,
his wife Epigone as the soother and their daughter Hygea as the goddess
of health. Africans saw nurses as midwives, herbalists, wet nurses and
Caregivers for the children and elderly.
Religion greatly influenced the practice of caring for the sick
individual. Christians based this from the use of Christ's parable of the
“Good Samaritan’ in providing care. The growth of Christian orders marked
the development of early specialized institutions in every comer of the vast
Roman Empire
Did you know that Florence Nightingale had a staggering mastery of
Several disciplines of learning and modern languages, including
literature, philosophy, history, science, mathematics, religion, art and
music!

NURSING SCIENCE AND THEORY IN THE EARLY
20" CENTURY
During the early 20” century, philosophers and scientists argued
the use of ism and rationalism, The philosophers’ point of view is,
that knowledge should be based on the understanding of existing theories
while scientsts believe that knowledge should not only focus on theoretical
existence but also on understanding what there is stil to be observed
