The author studies the topic of social work in the period between the two world wars, or the role of the predecessors of nurses, protection nurses in social work in Slovenia. Until the establishment of the School for Social Workers in Slovenia in 1955, there were no formally educated social workers despite the fact that the need for social work was great during this period. The roles and tasks of social workers were performed by some officials, functionaries and members of various societies and organizations, nuns, benefactors and also protection nurses. The paper explores what exactly these protection nurses did and how they responded to the needs for socialization of medicine and how they provided a bridge between hospitals and public care. The process of establishing formal education for professionals for social assistance and support is also described.
