在近代早期的威尼斯，范围广泛、数量众多的人们为病人提供护理。这项研究利用威尼斯的公民死亡登记册来评估病人和垂死者何时以及为何获得医疗护理，以及这种情况在现代早期的过程中如何变化。详细的登记册可以考虑医生的概况、患者身份的关键方面、机构参与提供医疗保健的情况，以及疾病类型和患者寻求医疗支持的倾向之间的关系。本研究评估了城市从业者的类型、数量、密度和分布。寻求医疗服务受到年龄、社会地位和疾病类型的影响。机构网络提高了社会地位较低者的医疗参与水平。在 17 世纪，成年人寻求医疗保健的程度提高到很高水平，并在 18 世纪末几乎普及。
In early modern Venice, a wide range and large number of people offered care to the sick. This study utilizes Venice's civic death registers to assess when and why the sick and dying accessed medical care, and how this changed over the course of the early modern period. The detailed registers permit consideration of the profile of medical practitioners, key aspects of patient identity, the involvement of institutions in the provision of medical care, and the relationship between type of illness and the propensity of the sufferer to seek medical support. This study assesses the type, number, density and distribution of practitioners in the city. Recourse to medical care was affected by age, social status and type of illness. A web of institutions increased levels of medical engagement amongst those of lower social status. Recourse to medical care by adults increased to a high level during the seventeenth century, and became near-universal by the end of the eighteenth century.
