Modernization of medical care at the beginning of the Meiji era -Homes and hospitals: the process of differentiating nursing-

《Kanbyonin no Kokorou beki koto》是《Shogaku Jinshin Kyuri》（一本关于解剖学、生理学和卫生的书，其译本首次出版于明治6年（1873年））的章节之一，此前曾在1854年卡尔文·卡特（Calvin Cutter）的《解剖学、生理学和卫生第一本书》中作为“护士指南”出版。这部翻译作品既忠实于原文，又用通俗易懂的语言翻译，将护理作为女性的知识呈现出来。与明治时代初期出版的其他关于护理的翻译书籍相比，它认为男性应该负责护理，它的主要区别在于它认为护理是适合女性的工作。然而，每一本书都有一些实用的内容，通过传播护理所需的知识，其目的是提高日本整体医疗保健的质量，这将有利于日本公民的生活。这可以看作是当时开明人士的目标。

Kanbyonin no Kokorou beki koto, one of the sections of Shogaku Jinshin Kyuri - a book on anatomy, physiology, and hygiene whose translation was first published in the 6thyear of the Meiji era (1873)- had been previously published as ‘Directions for Nurses’ in the 1854 edition of Calvin Cutter’s “First Book on Anatomy, Physiology and Hygiene.” The translated work, which was both faithful to the original and translated using easy-to-understand expressions, presented nursing as knowledge for women. Compared to the other translated books on nursing published at the start of the Meiji era, which assumed that men would be responsible for nursing, its main differentiation factor was that it viewed nursing as work appropriate for women. However, each of the books had some practical content and by disseminating the knowledge that was required for nursing, their aim was to improve the quality of medical care as a whole in Japan, which would be beneficial for the lives of Japan’s citizens. This can be seen to be the goal of enlightened people of that time.
