Abstract

Abstract:In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, children were susceptible to deadly infectious diseases. An increasing focus on the health of children led to the opening of fever hospitals, lock hospitals, sanatoria, and convalescent homes. This paper addresses the impact of infectious diseases on children in Scotland: their proximity to death, their experiences of medical treatment in hospital, the hospital regimes, and their separation from families. It will show how advances in sanitation, housing, medicine, and medical practice led to the demise of these types of hospital settings in the second half of the twentieth century, providing thought-provoking context to the COVID-19 pandemic.

摘要:在19世纪和20世纪，儿童容易感染致命的传染病。对儿童健康的日益重视导致开设了发热医院、锁医院、疗养院和疗养院。本文论述了传染病对苏格兰儿童的影响:他们与死亡的接近，他们在医院接受治疗的经历，医院制度，以及他们与家人的分离。它将展示卫生、住房、医药和医疗实践方面的进步是如何导致这类医院在20世纪下半叶消亡的，并为2019冠状病毒病大流行提供发人深省的背景。
