Sammendrag
Bergljot Larsson (1883-1967) is one of the most renowned leaders in Norwegian
nursing history. After having founded the Norwegian Nursing
Association in 1912, Miss Larsson was its leader for 23 years. She also
worked for development of skilled nursing through Nordic and international
organisations. Bergljot Larsson entered into her chosen field when the
first secular schools of nursing were established in Norway. Different needs
and interests underlined the new forms of training for nurses, and had
wider-ranging impacts on the content and aim of nursing. Which ideology and
values can be connected to the decisions that she made? And how did she
influence the development that took place? By the use of historical methods
applied to a wide range of written sources, I intend to identify and
examine the contributions of Miss Larsson. The biographical approach
indicates an intention to understand her actions within the joint frames
of society and interaction, as well as within the context of her life as a
whole. Through my research, I hope to reveal valuable knowledge about a
significant person in Norwegian nursing history, and to provide an insight
into the number of interactive forces that have influenced the development of
nursing.
