摘要

佛羅倫斯．南丁格爾（Florence Nightingale, 1820-1910）被公認是現代護理的鼻祖，在公共衛生方面更有許多卓越的貢獻。面臨新冠肺炎疫情延燒全球，回顧150年前南丁格爾在預防感染的主張，洗手、環境清潔、通風、日照、統計數據及健康識能，非但沒有淹沒在時代的洪流裡，至今仍是世界通用且最普及的防疫策略。2020年是南丁格爾兩百歲誕辰紀念，也是國際護理助產年；「護理引領發聲—守護全球健康」的時代已經到來。有鑑於此，本文從新冠肺炎防疫措施，回顧南丁格爾在感染管制策略的影響，表彰護理師在流行性傳染病防治的價值；同時呼籲各國政府應積極投資護理專業，以保障病人安全與促進民眾健康，進而實踐聯合國永續發展目標—不讓任何人落單（no one is left behind）的誓言。

Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), extolled as the founder of modern nursing, contributed greatly to the advancement of modern public health. Written 150 years ago, Nightingale's advice on infection control, addressing the importance of hand washing, environmental sanitation, ventilation, sunshine, statistical data, and health literacy, remains highly relevant in today's global fight against the coronavirus. In honor of Florence Nightingale's 200th birthday, World Health Organization declared 2020 the International Year of the Nurse and Midwife. The era of ＂Nurses: A Voice to Lead - Nursing the World to Health＂ is drawing near. This article addresses the profound impact of Nightingale's infection control and public health perspectives on measures currently being taken to contain coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Furthermore, we call on governments throughout the world to invest proactively in nursing to assure the safety of patients and promote public health in order to achieve the pledge of the United Nations' sustainable development goals to leave no one behind.
