In 1946, the Nursing Education Council started to revise three regulations relating to nurses, midwives and public health nurses in order to improve the legal status of these professionals. Accordingly, the Nurses, Midwives and Public Health Nurses Act was enacted in 1948. The new Act produced a new definition of 'health guidance', an improvement of education standards, reform of the license system, and democratization of the nurse organization. However, some elements of the old law remained in the Act. Generally, these professionals were not allowed to conduct medical practice, any person without medical qualification could legally give health guidance unless s/he stated to be a 'public health nurse', a public health nurse was eligible to work as an ordinary nurse, and she was usually under control of medical doctors and/or the head of health center that she belonged to. In this respect, this Act was an uneasy combination of old and new principles relating to these professionals.}, pages = {125--142}, title = {「国家資格」としての保健婦の終焉・2 : 占領期における保健婦助産婦看護婦法の制定過程を追って}, volume = {24}, year = {2002} }
