Abstract

Mortality in asylum populations increased during World War I. This paper seeks to analyse the mortality data from Scotland, where governmental statistics allow comparison between different lunacy institutions, poorhouses and prisons, as well as people certified under lunacy legislation but living in the community. Detailed study is made of two Lothian asylums, the Royal Edinburgh Asylum and the Midlothian and Peebles District Asylum, and the 1918 influenza pandemic is considered in the asylum context. Similarities and differences between the situation in Scotland and that in England and Wales are discussed, and parallels are drawn with the Covid-19 pandemic in Scotland.

第一次世界大战期间,苏格兰根据精神失常立法认定的人的死亡率。
第一次世界大战期间,庇护人口的死亡率上升。本文试图分析来自苏格兰的死亡率数据,在那里,政府统计数据允许比较不同的精神病院、救济院和监狱,以及根据精神病院立法认证但生活在社区中的人。对两个洛锡安庇护所,即皇家爱丁堡庇护所和米德洛锡安和皮布尔斯区庇护所进行了详细研究,并在庇护范围内考虑了1918年流感大流行。讨论了苏格兰与英格兰和威尔士情况的异同,并与苏格兰的Covid-19大流行进行了比较。
