abstract

This study focuses on the first three years (1936–1938) in the history of Masaryk State School in Prague, which introduced a new integrated approach to the duties and competences of nurses and social workers in interwar Czechoslovakia. This unique institution was supported by the Rockefeller Foundation. Surprisingly, although education of knowledgeable nurses in public health and social work is a highly relevant subject, especially in connection with a growing role of home care, this school had as yet received little attention. The study is based on an analysis of Czechoslovak and US (Rockefeller Foundation) archival sources of institutional, legislative, and personal nature (correspondence and diaries). The authors take into account 1920s and 1930s discussions on the notion of a combined nurse and social worker; highlight problems which attended the establishment of Masaryk State School, and show how its profile and curriculum differed from other nursing schools in interwar Czechoslovakia.
