What she famous for:
Pertengahan abad ke-19, sistem pelayanan kesehatan didasarkan pada praktik tradisional dibandingkan dengan pengambilan keputusan yang didasarkan pada data (data driven decision). Florence Nightingale merupakan seorang pionir visualisasi data, tepatnya diagram pie, dengan membangun ilustrasi keterhubungan antara kondisi sanitasi terhadap tingkat mortalitas. Inovasi tersebut berkembang ketika perang Crimean (1853 – 1856). Berdasarkan visualiasi yang ia bangun, diketahui kuantitas tentara yang meninggal dikarenakan buruknya kebersihan dan sanitasi sangatlah besar bila dibandingkan dengan kuantitas tentara yang meninggal luka perang. Inovasi Nightingale terkait pemanfaatan visualisasi data sebagai media menyampaikan pesan pada data telah berkembang hingga sector non-medis, menekankan pentingnya visualisasi data yang efektif.

Her Biography:
Tanggal 12 Mei merupakan hari kelahiran seorang wanita yang akan dikenal oleh seluruh dunia. Florence Nightingale, seorang penemu dan inovator perawatan modern, lahir di kota Florence Itali pada tahun 1820. Nama Florence diambil melaluhi kota kelahirannya dan ia lahir dari keluarga berkebangsaan inggris. Florence merupakan seseorang dengan ketertarikan yang tinggi dalam bidang matematika, bahasa, filosofi, dan agama. Keempat bidang tersebut akan menjadi kunci dalam inovasi nya di masa depan nanti.

Pada tahun 1844, Florence mendedikasikan dirinya untuk bekerja di rumah sakit. Pada era tersebut, perawat bukan merupakan pekerjaan yang ideal. Dalam beberapa tahun setelahnya, ia mencari berbagai pengalaman, diantaranya volunteer sebagai pekerja rumah sakit di jerman dan perancis dan pada tahun 1853, ia bekerja sebagai manager rumah sakit Institute of the sick women. Satu tahun setelahnya, suatu peristiwa penting terjadi dan menjadi percabangan baru dalam kehidupan Florence.

Florence Nightingale bukan hanya seorang perawat. Ia merupakan seorang yang visioner dengan kemampuan statistika yang sangat tinggi. Pada tahun 1854, perang antara sekutu inggris dan kekaisaran russia tak terhindarkan. Ditengah kekacauan tersebut, Florence mengajukan diri sebagai perawat militer. Ia menyadari terdapat potensi yang belum dieksplorasi terkait penggunaan diagram pie sebagai media penyampaian informasi mengenai buruknya pelaksanaan sanitasi pada rumah sakit militer. Florence merupakan seorang pionir dalam membangun metode sanitasi dalam kondisi yang ekstrim.

Nightingale dengan tekun mengoleksi dan mengambil data, mengamati rekam jejak rumah sakit, dan mengumpulkan bukti untuk menunjukkan bahwa rumah sakit militer tersebut membutuhkan sistem sanitasi yang lebih baik. Ia kemudian membangun diagram pie, tepatnya diagram polar area, untuk mengkomunikasikan data tersebut. Langkah tersebut sangatlah revolusioner pada saat itu.

Florence Nightingale mengkomunikasian temuan nya dalam diagram pie berwarna untuk menunjukkan poin-poin data dengan makna yang mendalam. Poin tersebut diantaranya adalah besar dimensi untuk menunjukkan kondisi yang lebih buruk dan warna untuk membagi penyebab kematian. Warna biru digunakan sebagai representasi kematian yang diakibatkan oleh penyakit yang bisa dicegah (sanitasi yang buruk) dan warna merah merupakan representasi kematian yang diakibatkan oleh luka dalam perang.

Pada era dimana pelaksanaan praktik tradisional merupakan teknik yang paling baik. Ia merupakan seorang inovator dalam membangun suatu keputusan dengan memanfaatkan visualisasi data sebagai media komunikasi. Berdasarkan temuanya, fakta di lapangan menunjukkan bahwa kematian tentara sekutu yang diakibatkan oleh buruknya sanitasi rumah sakit militer jauh lebih besar dibandingkan dengan kematian yang diakibatkan oleh luka dalam perang.

Interfensi Florence sangatlah sederhana namun efektif. Ia mengkondisikan lingkungan perawatan yang bersih, melengkapi kuantitas alat medis, dan menyediakan air dan buah dengan kondisi yang higienis. Berdasarkan informasi yang ia sampaikan dan solusi yang dibangun. Nightingale dan tim berhasil menurunkan persentasi tingkat kematian dari 60% menjadi 42% lalu mencapai 2.2%. Penurunan persentase yang ekstrim tersebut merupakan bukti bahwa interfensi yang ia ambil merupakan langkah yang baik.

Dampak atau implikasi dari penemuan Nightingale sangatlah besar dan terlaksana secara cepat. Pemerintahan Britania membangun komisi sanitasi yang secara langsung berdampak dengan tingkat kematian yang menurun drastis. Dalam jangka panjang, inovasi berikut telah berhasil mengubah persepsi terhadap Teknik pengkomunikasian data. Demostrasi data dapat menceritakan suatu informasi yang menuntun pengambilan keputusan untuk perubahan yang efektif. Ia berhasil menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman terkait data perlu terlaksana secara sederhana sehingga setiap masyarakat dapat memahami nya. Inovasi ini tidak hanya berdampak pada bidang Kesehatan, melainkan berkembang diberbagai sektor, yaitu pembangunan peraturan, edukasi, perbelanjaan, dan banyak lainya.

What is she famous of? Write in only a paragraph
Florence Nightingale is a famous as the foundational philosopher of modern nursing. She got this title because of her work during Crimean War as a nurse, where she improved sanitation and healthcare conditions for soldiers which resulting the reduction of mortality rate of the soldiers, and her basic concepts regarding nursing remain applicable today. Furthermore, she was also famous of her statistical analysis, and she was able to communicate it with CoxComb chart — which she created – that displaying the causes of mortality in the army. Finally, she founded the Nightingale School of Nursing in 1860, which reform nursing as a respected career option for women.

Explain about her life and her significant contribution in about 8 paragraphs.
Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 and died in 1910 from a wealthy English family.
Florence was a gifted, talented, and intelligent child. She got through an education in history, philosophy, and literature and she also excelled in mathematics and languages. As an smart child that never satisfied with traditional female skills in home management, she preferred to read great philosophers and engage in serious political and social discourse with her father.

At the age of 16, she defied family and social expectations by pursuing nursing, which was regarded not a respectable profession. She choose this path because, as part of liberal Unitarian family, she experienced a calling from God. She was called to reduce human suffering and she viewed this as a suitable path to serve both God and humankind. In spite of family objection, she was eventually able to enrol Institution of Protestant Deaconesses at Kaiserswerth and in 1853, she became the superintendent of a hospital in London and revolutionize healthcare. However, politics shaped her next move, not nursing expertise.

During Crimean War (1853-1856), Nightingale, in 1854, found a filthy conditions, inadequate supplies, uncooperative staff, and severe overcrowding. She established standards of care, such as bathing, clean clothing and dressings, and adequate food. She was also gained her “Lady with the Lamp” title where she wandered the wards at night, providing support to the patients. Her achievement was reducing mortality rate in the army.

Her most significant contribution to healthcare was her use of statistics to drive reform. She meticulously collected records of hospital data, causes of illness and death, and the efficiency of the nursing and medical staffs. With her data, she was able to illustrate how unsanitary conditions directly caused high mortality rate.
Knowing her talent on statistics wouldn’t be enough to ensure her report, she mastered the communication as well. She created and innovated a data visualization technique as a communication media of statistics and could be used as a decision making. She invented Coxcomb chart which showed mortality caused mostly of unsanitary condition. With her Coxcomb chart, she showed a sharp decreases in fatalities after the work of Sanitary Commission.

Coxcomb chart was consisted of two parts, they were area and colour. For area, it showed how many cases or samples in the data and for the colour, it showed the conditions or causes of cases. The colour were blue, red, and black. Blue was for death caused by unsanitary conditions, red was for death caused by war, and black was for death caused by another diseases. After the work on sanitation, the blue colour eventually became smaller and was not seen anymore.

In 1860, she founded the Nightingale School of Nursing at St. Thomas’s Hospital in London. This school marked as a formal start of professional nursing education which making it a respectable option for women. Other than that, she also publicised her “Notes on Nursing: What It Is and What It Is Not” that provided direction on how manage the sick. Her later life was marked by illness, but she continued to advise on public health issues.

To conclude, Florence Nightingale accomplishments in nursing, public health, and the field of statistics and visualization revolutionize each areas. Her work in visualization was very impactful on improving medical practices in modern nursing and healthcare globally.

Story:
Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) was a nurse and statistician who are known as the founder of modern nursing. She founded the first nursing school at St Thomas Hospital in London. She was also known as the Lady with the Lamp because it was reported that at the Crimean war, she would check wounded soldiers in the night while holding a lamp in her hand. She also made a lasting contribution to data visualization, inventing a polar area diagram (now known as “Nightingale Rose Diagram”) to show data that explain the cause of mortality among soldiers in a manner which is accessible to all.

Florence Nightingale was born on May 12, 1820, in Florence, Italy. She was born into a wealthy family of Frances Nightingale and William Shore Nightingale. Florence excelled academically with education provided by her father. It was reported that from a very young age, Florence Nightingale was active in philanthropy, helping the ill and poor people in the village where she lived. When she was 16 years old, she believed that tending to the ill and sick was her divine calling.

Despite all the good intention and determination, her family was against her going to nursing school. Her parents forbade her to pursue nursing, especially since it was the era where a young lady of a high social stature was not expected to do labour work. Despite this, Nightingale was able to enroll at the Institution of Protestant Deaconesses at Kaiserswerth in Germany.

In early 1850, Nightingale then returned to London, where she took a nursing job. After a few years working as a nurse and getting recognition, she was finally able to break free from her family environment. She also became the superintendent of the Institution for Sick Gentlewomen in Distressed Circumstances, in London. She faced many challenges like cholera outbreak and unsanitary conditions. However, her biggest obstacle in the nursing world was yet to come.

When the Crimean War broke out in 1853, demand for doctors and nurses also rose. At first, the war office avoided hiring female nurses due to the poor reputation. Later on, they need all the resources since there is an uproar about the neglect of the ill and injured soldier due hospital being severely understaffed. This resulted in Secretary of War Sidney Herbert sending a letter to Nightingale in late 1854 to organize a corps of nurses to tend to the sick and injured soldiers in Scutari during the Crimean War .

When she arrived at Scutari, the number of deaths was not being recorded appropriately. This led to poor decisions on patient care and wrongly classified deaths of soldiers, which also caused many to believe the loss of soldier as inevitable. It leads to William Farr and John Sutherland to analyze army mortality data, finding that 16000 of 18000 death of the soldier were from preventable diseases, not battle. Florence Nightingale’s contribution to statistics is highlighted in this moment through her invention of the polar area diagram for visualizing the mortality data over time.

The diagram is now often referred to as the “Nightingale Rose Diagram.”. She used this visual tool to illustrate the causes of mortality among soldiers during the Crimean War, clearly showing that most deaths were due to preventable diseases rather than battlefield injuries. By representing complex data in a circular format, the Rose Diagram made it easier for others to understand the important needs for sanitary reforms. Her use of data visualization is considered one of the earliest examples of using statistics to drive social policy change.

Later in life, Nightingale continued her work in public health and statistical In 1859, she published Notes on Nursing: What It Is and What It Is Not which significantly contributes to the healthcare. The published document provided direction on how to manage the sicks and properly run civilian hospitals. She also established a school for the education of midwives at King's College Hospital in 1862.

Sadly, in 1855 while at Scutari, Nightingale had caught a "Crimean Fever" and would never fully recover. At the age of 38 years old, she was bedridden. However, this does not make her stop continuing her works. Florence Nightingale later passed away at her home in London on August 13, 1910, at the age of 90. Her works have a big impact on not only in the field of nursing but also in the areas of public health, statistic, and humanitarian.
