Florence Nightingale

a research-based approach to health, healthcare and hospital safety

Lynn McDonald

pp. 59-74

Abstract

Florence Nightingale (1820–1910) is known for her work in the Crimean War (1854–1856), the founding of professional nursing after it and her pioneering work in statistics, but less for her social research approach to health, healthcare and hospital safety, or her contribution to sociological theory more generally.
