The biggest effect is: more and more nurses will take Nightingale as an example, with "love, patience, care, responsibility" to treat every patient, and to do a good job of treating people. But because of her love to treat every patient, resulting in her falling in love with her patients, so derived from the effect of falling in love with their patients, that is, the Nightingale effect of nursing theory

Nan Dinggel put forward the scientific theory of nursing. Nightingale wrote a large number of reports and treatises in her life, including Nursing Notes, Hospital Notes, Health Care and Disease Notes, and many other monographs. The most famous of these is Nursing Notes, which describes the guiding principles and rationale to be followed in nursing and discusses in detail the hygienic implications of observing breasts on patients. The book is known as a classic work on nursing. Nightingale conceptualized nursing as "the duty of protecting people's health as well as caring for the patient to keep them in the best possible condition."

In December 1859, in her Nursing Journal, she wrote "We have no better language for the word nursing, so the word 'nursing' is used." Upon its publication, the book was recognized by prominent figures in the health care community as "a work of the first importance" and "an epoch-making rarity". The Nursing Journal became a must-read classic for nurses. It became popular not only in England, but also in the United States. Later, it was translated into many foreign languages and distributed as a textbook for nursing schools. The book eloquently points out the social, biological, and spiritual effects of nursing on the self. She summarized the principles of work, experience, rules and methods of cultivation, etc. based on facts, data and observations. She made an important contribution to the scientific tendency of nursing, stating that "all the nurse has to do is to place the patient in the best possible condition and let the body recover by itself", presenting the earliest and most general view of the nature of nursing, and establishing the beginning of the professionalization of nursing. She emphasized that nurses should be persons of good character, dedication and nobility, and required nursing students to be "obedient, temperate, neat, and scrupulous". She attached importance not only to nursing education, but also to the moral education of nurses, and each year she selected 15 to 30 students from 1,000 to 2,000 applicants for enrollment. Most of the students were handpicked by her. The qualifications were education, drive, quickness of mind, dexterity, good judgment and a certain level of education and religious beliefs. She believed that these qualities and attributes made one suitable to become a nurse. She demanded that women be "truthful, honest and dignified" and said, "Without these three, nothing will be accomplished."

Nandingale believed that nursing should not be done only in hospitals, but that preventive medicine should be organized through the community, and she also pointed out that "home nursing is more necessary than a well-equipped hospital or sanatorium to give nurses an education in how to improve the living conditions with the conditions in which the patient is located, to educate in home health care and in the prevention of disease, and to demonstrate how to care for the sick at home. care of the patient at home." She emphasized that specialized training schools should also be established for the practice of lot home nursing. With her encouragement, she pioneered modern public **** health lot home nursing, which greatly enriched the content of nursing.

Nandingale believed that disease was a "restorative process". She also believed that in order to maintain or restore health, treatment or prevention of disease, nursing should create a favorable environment for the patient, and to distinguish between care of the patient and care of the difference between the disease, the patient as a whole. In Nightingale as director of the London Women's Hospital, it is clearly put forward: nurses in addition to the treatment of patients, but also requires the following nursing work, such as making the ward fresh air, comfortable environment, clean and quiet, good life care, dietary care, increase nutrition and so on. Nutritional problems of the patient's diet, sunlight, ward air, the environment of the absolute quiet and so on have put forward specific requirements and standards. She attached great importance to the psychological factors in the care of patients, and even called for "social workers, chaplains and administrators * * * to cooperate in the care of patients." In her Memorandum on Nursing (published in 1858), she emphasized the importance of observation, describing the need for purposeful work and basic nursing behavior.

Noting the architectural shortcomings of many hospitals, Nightingale argued that the primary condition for the architectural design of hospitals was that they should not be hazardous to the patients, emphasizing that the architecture of a hospital should not lie in its luxury but should be considered first and foremost in terms of the patients' comfort, arrangement, welfare, and hygiene. According to the information she investigated on the hospital's environmental health management, the construction of wards, furnishings, the number of beds, cleaning equipment and facilitate the work and management of the layout, etc., have put forward a more detailed argument. 1859, Nightingale completed a book of hospital summary, hospital construction and hospital management, put forward a revolutionary theory. She emphasized that good construction, hygiene and management could lead to better patient care. She changed the concept of nursing by suggesting new ways of managing wards. The book was so influential and shocking at the time that it was regarded as the definitive statement and model for hospital reform. Many nurses at home and abroad sought to purchase it. Since Nightingale school after more than a hundred years, the nursing cause continues to develop, the twentieth century nursing and Nightingale founded nursing has been very different, in the knowledge structure of nursing, nursing, nursing purposes, nursing objects, the role of nurses in all aspects of the great changes, but, Nightingale's understanding of nursing and improve and insightful insights at that time and now, still has a profound influence and guidance then and now.
