TRAINING OF NURSES AS THE MOST IMPORTANT DIRECTION IN THE ACTIVITIES OF THE RED CROSS IN THE SOUTHERN URALS DURING THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR
Abstract
The article attempts to analyze the activities of the Soviet Red Cross societies in the Southern Urals in training nurses for medical institutions and the active front. Significant difficulties in training of nurses in the Southern Urals during the Great Patriotic War, which the governing bodies of the Red Cross organizations faced, are shown. Despite this, an effective system of short-term training courses for nurses was created in the region through the efforts of the Red Cross societies, which helped to relieve tension in providing qualified mid-level personnel to local medical institutions. It has been established that the Red Cross societies have made a significant contribution to providing rural settlements in the region with nurses in the context of an exacerbated staff shortage caused by the re-evacuation and mobilization of South Ural doctors and paramedical personnel to the Soviet territories liberated from temporary occupation. The statistics of training courses organized by the Red Cross societies for nurses and their graduates in the Bashkir ASSR, Kurgan, Chkalovsk and Chelyabinsk regions and in the region as a whole are given.
