HANDLE WITH CARE FOR PATIENT AS A CAREGIVER

                                
Handle with care,there's such a huge meaning when we say the phrase handle with
care,the common type of meaning that we used to, is,handling with care due to the fact
that,whether a thing,a living organism or a person,is in need of careful handling in various
reason. why?.
In things, when we say handle with care is,due to its fragile contained or sensitivities
within the quality of such thing,and needed to be handle with such care to avoid a
possible damage.
In care giving job,handle with care is always been the goal of the caregiver to give
all the best good care for the patient,when it comes to care giving job,there are always
a lots of angle to considered as a caregiver,first thing is,always and always to understand
the patient condition and knowing deep enough on what the personality of he patient.
Personality of the patient is not always the same and due to patient illness and condition
there are always negative characteristics that sometimes can be hurting the feeling of the
caregiver,hence,when a patient is saying something that hurt the feelings of the caregiver
example,if the patient is angry of his/her condition and not cooperating with the treatment
and not allowing the caregiver to do the task because the patient wanted to be alone,in this
case,its a natural feeling for the patient,its not intentionally done and due to health condition
its natural,and as a caregiver don't take it personal,just be open minded to understand what
really the reason why the patient is on that point. if we just really understand and truly open
our mind,its not that easy for the patient to be on that situation,and no one will ever wish
to be on that position. we can always put our feet in their situation and fully understand
how hard it is,specially when the patient is well active before and suddenly due to some
unfortunate reason that put the patient on that hard condition to accept and the patient can
see the wheel chair and all the medical devices,psychological is bothering a lot for the
patient mental and well being as well.

As a caregiver, its part of the job as caregiver,do all the best to give the good care giving and
find the ways to gain the trust of the patient and let the patient feel that you as a caregiver
is the person that he/she can count on and can be trusted as a friend,do all the best to help
the patient as much as possible,always bear in mind that,if you do all the best and do all
the good treatment and treat the patient as if is your father,mother,brother and a best friend
and handling it with a care that comes from your heart naturally as one that can understand.
the patient will feel it naturally and slowly will accept you as the person that he/she can
count on and the person that will be there always to help as a best friend,it'll take time
but as soon the patient feels your good care and concern to help him/her to restore the
strength back and the way you treat good of her/him,no matter what his/her condition,
all will be in good place and you'll just noticed that the trust and care also the cooperation
regarding the treatment is already flowing smoothly and the foundation is already been
in place and developed a good relationship as a caregiver and patient and can be often
the good result that the patient and caregiver is the best of friend.         BY:J.LE
