摘要

本文考察了1888年至1920年间在殖民地印度为英国军人引入训练有素的女护士的情况。它讨论了印度护理服务(INS)的起源,包括其成立的背景和谈判,护士姐妹的就业条件、职责和工作条件。担任该服务第一任总警司的Catharine Grace Loch的回忆录被广泛用于追踪护理姐妹的早期经历和挑战。本文主要认为,移民归化局作为一种新的服务,殖民政府对其运作保持着严格的控制,并且在支出上极端保守,从而阻碍了印度军队专业护理的发展。其次,在考察护士姐妹与(男性)护理勤务兵、副医务官和医务官之间的关系时,本文认为,护士姐妹在军队医疗等级中的地位划分不充分是削弱其专业知识和地位的重要原因。第三,论文认为,作为一项全女性服务,护理是父权制殖民体制中女性代理的重要途径,这使姐妹们在职业和社会上都受到了审视。本文分析了由此产生的对姐妹的条件和规定,其中大多数是由性别和阶级观念决定的。最后,本文讨论了逐步建立和承认军种是军队健康的重要基石,同时强调了一直持续到1920年的不足。

Trained Army Nurses in Colonial India: Early Experiences and Challenges.
Abstract The paper examines the introduction of trained female nurses for the British army men in colonial India between 1888 and 1920. It discusses the genesis of the Indian Nursing Service (INS), including the background and negotiations leading up to its formation, terms of employment, duties and working conditions of the nursing sisters. The memoir of Catharine Grace Loch, who served as the first Chief Lady Superintendent of the service is used extensively to trace the early experiences and challenges of the nursing sisters. The paper primarily argues that the INS being a new service, the colonial government maintained tight control over its functioning, and extreme conservatism in spending, thus retarding the growth of professional army nursing in India. Secondly, in examining the relations between the sisters and the (male) nursing orderlies, sub-medical and medical officers, the paper argues that the inadequate delineation of the nursing sisters’ position in the military medical hierarchy was an important reason for the undermining of their expertise and status. Thirdly, the paper contends that as an all-women service, nursing constituted an important avenue of female agency within the patriarchal colonial establishment, which subjected the sisters to scrutiny both professionally and socially. The paper analyses the resultant conditions and regulations imposed on the sisters – most of them determined by gender and class notions. Finally, the paper discusses the gradual establishment and recognition of the service as an important cornerstone for the health of the army, while highlighting the shortcomings that yet persisted up until 1920.
