The role and effects of sanatoriums and health resorts in the Russian Federation.

There is a unique system of sanatoriums and health resorts in the Russian Federation that is not so well known outside the country. These facilities are used for prophylactic treatment of the working population, but they are not part of the health care system. As a result of the historical development, the sanatoriums and health resorts are instead a responsibility of the Russian system of social insurance. Based on three different empirical studies and a review of research in the field, this article describes the development of sanatoriums and health resorts, the different prophylactic treatments they provide, the medical and economic effects of their treatments, and the role of these facilities in the Russian society. The conclusion is that this system of sanatoriums and health resorts seems to be beneficial, both for the people and for the national economy, but there are a number of issues that have to be addressed if the system shall be able to survive in the present economic situation.

From salvation to civics: service to the sick in nursing discourse.

This paper explores the emergence of civics discourse in early 20th-century nursing. It foregrounds this discussion with an analysis of the attempt to secularise nursing that occurred in 1789 during the French Revolution. It then examines the discursive displacement of religious vocational fervour by civic and patriotic imperatives during the first two decades of the 20th century. Contemporary scholars have portrayed nursing's professional development as characterised by tension between the professional elitist agenda of the nursing leadership, and the rank and file positioning of nursing as a female occupation. By contrast, this paper focuses on the porosity of nursing to broader trends such as civic discourse, the labour movement, feminism and socialism, and works to shift our understanding of nursing's professional history from a dialectical model (professional versus industrial), to one of multiplicity in political and ethical values. It argues that civic and patriotic discourse provided the framing for the secular nurse's subjectivity and the mechanism by which nurses negotiated the moral dangers of care of the sick and male bodies without the protection of vow or veil.

Partners in Health: a case study of a comprehensive disability management program.

When absenteeism threatened to raise health care costs and affect the quality of care at Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital, a multidisciplinary team came together to develop a strategic response. The hospital seized the opportunity to initiate the ¿Partners in Health¿ program, an innovative and collaborative disability management program designed to improve its response to the health issues of all its staff. This paper describes how the program was developed and outlines its comprehensive approach. Partners in Health has proven to be extremely successful at increasing attendance awareness, improving work accommodation and/or rehabilitation after illness or injury, and reducing costs associated with health and lost-time claims. Partners in Health was recognized with the 1995 Health Care Quality Team Award sponsored by the Canadian College of Health Service Executives and 3M.
