Doctoral Dissertations Three Bates Center doctoral students successfully completed and defended their dissertations. In 2006, Mary Gibson defended her dissertation, From Charity To An Able Body: The Care And Treatment Of Disabled Children In Virginia 1910- 1935. This historical study examined the processes that led to the care of crippled children in Virginia between 1910 and 1935. The study aimed to unravel the complex social, economic, and political climate of that time, and rediscover the professional knowledge and values that drew attention to this population and set the stage for developments in their care. Virginia, a segregated society during these years, served as a case study and provided an example of a southern state with a large rural population along with two urban centers. The efforts of the maturing professions, philanthropists, lay persons and government programs shaped the care of children in the state. Crippled children’s care emerged in Virginia in the second decade of the 20th century in conjunction with the introduction to the Richmond area of orthopedic surgery as a specialty, the success of visiting nursing in the identification and provision of care for poor urban children and the promotion of health for all Vir- Dr. Jennifer Hobbs ginians by the State Health Department. Fundamental differences in rural and urban populations, racial tensions and compromises, and progressive ideas as they developed in a southern state are discussed. The study illustrated two waves of US crippled children’s programs that roughly corresponded to the prevalence of two crippling diseases, tuberculosis and polio. Poverty became a defining qualification for state supported care, and the preparation of crippled children for self support was the prevailing motive. In February, 2007, Jeannine Uribe defended her dissertation entitled Nurses, Philanthropies, and Governments: The Public Mission of Chilean Nursing, 1900-1945. Dr. Uribe’s dissertation examines the nursing profession’s response to the philosophical and financial influences of foreign nurses, national and international philanthropies, and the Chilean government. By examining U.S. and Chilean documents, Dr. Uribe found that Chilean nursing developed according to the goals and funding set by physicians and government officials. They did not plan for clinical experience which left the nurses vulnerable to criticism due to their lack of skill in caring for hospital patients. Public health nurses trained under a U.S. program gained some status for nurses by maintaining higher entrance requirements and further education but positions were limited. Changes in presidential administrations as well as the advice of nurse consultants from the Rockefeller Foundation helped to bring changes to the public health system making small improvements in morbidity and mortality levels. At the same time, Chilean public health nurses began to take leadership positions in nursing education and employment in the 1940s after fellowships in the U. S. and Canada. With educated and clinically experienced visiting nurses working in the community, patient education reached the poor in their homes and communities and nurses were better accepted as professionals when the Chilean health care system became nationalized. Our most recent graduate is Dr. Jennifer Hobbs who defended her dissertation this past spring. The title of her dissertation is Naming Power: A Historical Analysis of Clinical Information Systems, 1970-1990. Her study approaches clinical information systems (CIS) as a compilation of skills, tools and knowledge needed to provide patient care. Dr. Hobbs examined how nurses involved (continued on page 11) 7 Membership Application to the Barbara Bates Center for The Study of The History of Nursing I would like to make a donation of $ ; Please enroll me in the following group: ___Friends of the Center (Up to $50) ___Lillian Wald Society ($250 to $499) ___Center Contributor ($50 to $99) ___Alice Fisher Society ($500 to $999) ___Linda Richards Society ($100 to $249) ___Nightingale Society ($1,000 and Up) My Check is enclosed.
