SUMMARY:

This study focuses on the consequences of the yellow fever epidemic for the organization of nursing in Alagoas, in the time frame between 1849 and 1881. The research objectives were: To describe the sanitary conditions and the YF epidemic in Alagoas in the period between 1849 to 1881 and; Discuss the consequences of the AF epidemic for the organization of nursing and public health in Alagoas. Its theoretical reference is based on ideas based on the New History, with the third generation of the Annales School, a phase that takes place between the 1970s and 1980s. For this investigation, the thoughts of two French historians, Jacques Le Goff and Michelle Perrot. The direct sources consulted were: a) manuscripts – official documents on Yellow Fever in Alagoas by doctors and surgeons from the Alagoas party, which are in the possession of the Public Archives of Alagoas; b) newspapers circulating in Alagoas available in the collection of the digital newspaper of the National Library and; c) Fallas and Reports of the Presidents of the Province of Alagoas, in the public domain. These sources were discussed with the indirect sources, composed of studies that address yellow fever in global and national aspects, the History of Public Health in Brazil, Alagoas and the history of Nursing within the temporality proposed by the study. The results indicate that the hygienic and sanitary conditions contributed to potentiate the yellow fever epidemic in Alagoas in the 19th century. However, it was after the establishment of yellow fever that the state began to organize itself to build permanent and temporary health institutions to contain the epidemic. On the other hand, it resulted in the organization of nursing, even in the pre-professional period. Finally, yellow fever still presents itself as a re-emerging disease in Brazilian urban centers, although the problems are different from those faced in the mid-19th century. In addition, this study showed a dialogue with themes that are still present in the context of nursing, namely: precariousness of work, discrimination based on gender issues, demands for better wages, work structure and decent accommodation in health services. The struggle continues and demands the elaboration of public policies that guarantee the rights of nursing workers in Alagoas and in Brazil.
