THE SITUATION AND MAIN ASPECTS OF THE CHIEF DOCTORS OF THE COMMUNITIES OF NURSES OF THE RUSSIAN RED CROSS SOCIETY (1867—1918)
Abstract
The article deals with the situation and activities of the chief doctors of the community of nurses. The main purpose of these communities was to train female medical personnel to help the sick and wounded in war and peace. An attempt is made to analyze medical, administrative, teaching activities in a single connection, as well as the position of chief doctors in the communities. The article describes the rights, duties, financial support of chief doctors, rules for admission to this position, and dismissal from it. The degree of participation of heads of medical staff in community management is determined. The study obtained the following results. As mandatory members of the community administration, chief doctors were responsible for the training of nurses and for work of medical staff. They monitored the sanitary condition of the community’s premises. The chief doctor of the community was the link between its administration and the ordinary employees. Often, he was directly involved in teaching nurses and treating patients in the community. However, the main thing in his work was the execution of administrative functions. The author conducted a study of the biographies of some doctors. The result of this study was the conclusion: experienced, authoritative, well-known doctors were appointed to this position. The financial support of chief doctors could not be clearly described. In some communities, it was quite high, but there is evidence of unpaid service of doctors. The gratuitous service can be explained by the prestige of working in the communities of Russian Red Cross society, which were under the patronage of members of the Imperial family as well as the desire of doctors to participate in selfless service to suffering people, dictated by the requirements of Christian morality.
