Abstract
El siglo XVI conoce en España un
importante cambio de mentalidad en
lo referente a materia de salud. Las
consecuencias de ello fueron la reforma
de los hospitales y la aplicación de nuevas
formas de curar y cuidar a los enfermos.
Las constituciones elaboradas para estos
nuevos hospitales reflejan, en cierta
medida, estos cambios y asumen las
propuestas que la ciencia médica promueve
desde la literatura especializada. En este
trabajo se estudia la profunda imbricación
existente entre las nuevas constituciones
de hospitales castellanos de fines del siglo
XVI y todo el XVII y los cuidados en
ellos prestados por un personal enfermero
cada vez más formado y especializado.
Por otra parte, el hospital se erige en un
centro diseñado también para tratar el
desequilibrio espiritual que padecen los
enfermos y marginales.
The 16th century in Spain knows an important change of mentality in relation to health. The consequences of this were the reform of hospitals and the implementation of new ways of treatment and of taking care of sick people. The constitutions drawn up for these new hospitals reflect, to some extent, these changes and assume the proposals promoted by medical science from specialized literature. This paper explores the deep existing interweaving between the new constitutions of Castilian hospitals at the end of the 16th and 17th century and the care they provided by a nursing staff, more and more trained and specialized. On the other hand, the hospital stands in a facility designed to treat the spiritual imbalance that the sick or the poor tramp in them suffered as a result of their social marginalization.
