本文重点介绍从 1929 年（麻风病人收容所建立）到 1975 年，美国支持的南方政权垮台，归和市所有外国修女被迫离开为止，越南中南部的归和市麻风病院由天主教修女监督的麻风病护理基督教模式。它借鉴了前麻风病收容所老年居民的回忆，描述了修女们对囚犯提供的密切和爱心的关注，这种关注源于修女们基督教牺牲的道德规范。归和监狱的修女们成功地与麻风病囚犯建立了准亲子关系。她们对“麻风病人”的惊人奉献就像替代母亲一样。然而，对那个时代的这些回忆也对麻风病护理方法提出了批评，这种方法以等级制度为前提，严格执行与更广泛社区的隔离，并对所有接受修女护理规则的人采取明显的家长式作风。
This paper focuses on a Christian model of leprosy care overseen by Catholic nuns in Quy Hòa, a leprosarium in South Central Vietnam, from 1929—when the leper colony was established—until 1975, when the American-backed Southern regime collapsed and all of Quy Hòa’s foreign nuns were forced to leave. Drawing on recollections of elderly residents of the former leprosy colony, it describes the close and loving attention that the nuns offered to inmates, an attentiveness that was informed by the nuns’ ethic of Christian sacrifice. The nuns at Quy Hòa successfully built a quasi parent–child relationship with leprosy-afflicted inmates. Their striking devotion to the ‘lepers’ resembles substitute motherhood. However, these recollections of that era also shed critical light on an approach to leprosy care that was premised on hierarchy, strictly enforced segregation from the wider community and pronounced paternalism towards all those who came under the nuns’ rule of care.
