Main stages in the development of pediatrics in Russia
Keywords:
pediatrics, history, attitude to the child, child body studies, child protection and healthcare institutionsAbstract
The paper offers a new perspective for studying the history of pediatrics. A comprehensive, systematic, and consistent analysis of the history of pediatric science and practice suggests an interdisciplinary approach and the use of sources describing not merely medical problems, but also the legal status of children, including those experiencing life's hardships, as well as studies in philosophy, psychology, education, and sociology of childhood, history of culture, and literature.
Based on the study of the history of pediatrics in Russia, one can distinguish five periods in its development, with constitutive criteria for each period, which are the following: the legal status of the child, the level of knowledge about the sick and healthy child, available literature on pediatrics, the emergence of medical institutions for children, the state of pediatric education, the development of scientific pediatric associations, government and public attitude to the problem of child medical care, and involvement in international child studies.
The author has also considered the evolution of state and public understanding of the rights and needs of the child relating to health protection, medical treatment and disease prevention, social and psychological care, and education in the context of historical changes. Specific professional activities in corresponding fields have been presented.
