Resumen
FERREIRO-ARDIONS, Manuel y LEZAUN-VALDUBIECO, Juan. Juan Josef Saseta Ybarzabal, nurse, practitioner and midwife: an anachronism at the beginning of the 19th century. Temperamentvm [online]. 2020, vol.16, e12076. Epub 06-Jun-2022. ISSN 1699-6011.
In 1802, in Vitoria (Spain), an atypical contract was signed, appointing a midwife to the hospitaller (nurse).
Objective:
find out the origin and continuity of this professional figure.
Methods:
historical review of primary sources.
Results:
Saseta came from a family of bleeders who for 72 years made their private activity compatible with the municipal contract as hospitaller. Around 1770 the hospitalist is authorized to practice as a minor surgeon in the hospital. In 1802, they added to the contract the attention to childbirth after not hiring midwives. When dying, they redistributed the care he had agglutinated: the nursing care would end up in the Sisters of Charity, the minor surgical care in the surgery assistant (practitioner) and the childbirth care in the major surgeon.
Conclusions:
it was a unique and sporadic event due to circumstantial causes, mainly economic, in a context of major crisis that has no continuity after his death.
