to know where he/she stand,and to be able to coup up with stress,such as emotional

and physical,caregiver must often figure what is really important for the patient

and one thing is to take care of own self,because if the caregiver doesn't able to

take the responsibility to take care of her/his own self,how could the caregiver

give the good care for the patient. The first priority of the caregiver is a must always

be in mind at all times and not be taken for granted,the own health care.

properly and both the patient and caregiver is healthy in day by day.      BY J.LE

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
