Abstract:

 Objective: In order to solve the problems experienced in the Ottoman Army, regulations were also made in the field of health. Among these regulations, the training of auxiliary health personnel is an important issue. This study aims to contribute to the history of pharmacy and medicine by illuminating the content and quality of the training received by the auxiliary health personnel for pharmacy services in the Ottoman Army during the Second Constitutional period through the Efrad-ı Sıhhiye Textbook. Method: In this study conducted in 2023, the Efrad-ı Sıhhiye Textbook was analyzed as the main source. The pharmacy topics in the book were compared with todays pharmacy knowledge. Sources in the fields of history and health were utilized for the developments in the field of health of the period and their comparison with today. In our research, which was carried out with a multidisciplinary perspective including the fields of pharmacy, history and education, the survey model was used as the method and document analysis was used as the data collection technique. Findings: When the Efrad-ı Sıhhiye Textbook is analyzed, it is understood that it is a detailed textbook that includes the knowledge and skills related to the health field of the period and carries the students beyond being auxiliary health personnel. The content of the textbook in the field of pharmacy is quite comprehensive. In the book, attitudes and behaviors in pharmacy activities, drug raw materials, drug preparation, drug packaging, labeling, and issues to be considered when giving drugs to patients are taught in detail. Conclusion: It is noteworthy that some of the chapters in the Efrad-ı Sıhhiye Textbook are compatible with modern pharmacy science. It gave the auxiliary medics trained in the Ottoman Army the opportunity to apply the knowledge they acquired after leaving the army in their neighborhoods and to overcome the deficiencies in health services. One of the results of our study is that the modernization movements in the Ottoman Empire were not only limited to the political and social spheres but also in the field of health.

 Amaç: Osmanlı Ordusundaki sorunları çözmek amacıyla sağlık alanında da düzenlenmeler yapılmıştır. Yardımcı sağlık elemanı yetiştirmek, bu düzenlemeler içinde önemli konudur. Bu çalışma ile İkinci Meşrutiyet döneminde Osmanlı Ordusundaki yardımcı sağlık personelinin eczacılık hizmetleri için aldığı eğitimin içeriği ve niteliği, Efrad-ı Sıhhiye Ders Kitabı öznelinde aydınlatılarak eczacılık ve tıp tarihine katkıda bulunmak amaçlamıştır. Yöntem: 2023 yılında gerçekleştirdiğimiz bu çalışmada Efrad-ı Sıhhiye Ders Kitabı ana kaynak olarak irdelenmiştir. Kitapta yer alan eczacılık konuları ile günümüz eczacılık bilgileri karşılaştırılmıştır. Dönemin sağlık gelişmeleri ve günümüz ile mukayesesi için tarih ve sağlık alanındaki kaynaklardan yararlanılmıştır. Eczacılık, tarih ve eğitim alanlarını içeren multidisipliner bir bakış açısıyla gerçekleştirilen araştırmamızda yöntem olarak tarama modeli, veri toplama tekniği olarak da doküman incelemesi kullanılmıştır Bulgular: Efrad-ı Sıhhiye Ders Kitabı incelendiğinde, döneminin sağlık alanına ilişkin bilgi ve becerileri içerdiği, dersi alanları yardımcı sağlık elemanı olmaktan ileriye taşıyan ayrıntılı bir ders kitabı olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. İncelediğimiz kitabın eczacılık alanındaki içeriği oldukça kapsamlıdır. Eczacılık faaliyetlerindeki hal ve tutum, ilaç hammaddeleri, ilaç hazırlamak, ilaç paketlemek, etiketlemek, ilaçların hastalara verilirken dikkat edilecek konular kitapta sıhhiye efradına ayrıntılarıyla öğretilmiştir. Sonuç: Efrad-ı Sıhhiye Ders Kitabında yer alan bazı bölümlerin modern eczacılık bilimiyle uyumlu olması dikkat çekmektedir. Osmanlı Ordusunda eğitim alan yardımcı sıhhiye efradına, ordudan ayrıldıktan sonra da edindiği bilgileri, gittiği muhitte uygulama ve sağlık hizmetlerindeki eksikliği giderme imkânı vermiştir. Osmanlı Devletindeki çağdaşlaşma hareketlerinin sadece siyasal ve toplumsal alanla sınırlı kalmayıp sağlık alanında da gerçekleştiği çalışmamızın sonuçlarındandır.
