HISTORY OF CROATIAN NURSING – EXHIBITION
In Croatia , we note no significant efforts in the systematic study of the nursing history . To this day nursing contribution has only been systematically processed for the period between the two World wars . The work of nurses is in historiography relatively poorly treated , despite that it is the key to understanding the social and medical concepts , but also the general public-health and social system of the interwar era . The study of the contribution of religious communities was neglected until 1990s , which has its cause in the reluctance of the former political system to study activities within the Church . Croatian Nurses Association , which was according to available data established in 1929 . ( 1926 ?) represents the backbone of the nursing professionalization , and is reflected in the activities that were directed towards the publishing of professional journals , efforts to develop education at the university level , establishment of nursing unions , chambers and many other activities . The professionalization of nursing in Croatia follows the trends of developed countries with a certain time-delay due to the specific historical , social and economic conditions . Croatian nursing is just on the threshold of the hundred years since the founding of its first nursing school in Zagreb that opened in January of 1921 . In the wake of the aforementioned needs Croatian Nurses Association has founded in 2013 . The Association for the History of Nursing . The exhibition will show the collected historical materials that give insight into the course of professionalization of nursing in Croatia .
