work environment in the hospital
In the work environment, I meet many patients with varying needs, hence essential to have a different therapeutic relationship with each one of them. Showing empathy and concern creates a good rapport between patients and the caregiver. For Example, I have mastered various personal information about my patients, which I use to assure them and create a sense of belonging. One of my patients misses their dog and has been in the hospital for three months. Hence, every time I meet her by the hall, I remind her to get better and return home to see her dog, Kenny. Kenny regularly visits the hospital with one of the family members. The patient is always so excited when I ask her about Kenny, always giving examples of the activities they do together, thus reinforcing our therapeutic relationship.
Ethically, nurses are required to practice uniformity in the care provided to the patients regardless of their gender, race, color, or age. As a caregiver, l have learned to brace myself with respect for all my patients. For Example, a patient was uncomfortable with undergoing discectomy due to religious beliefs despite their effectiveness. I respected the need of the patients and provided other options to choose from.
Individuals are affected by their biological, mental state, as well as the interaction between people around them. Therefore, the three factors are a significant determinant of their experiences in the health industry. For Example, to increase the comfort of the patients and boost their mental state, I provide excellent patient services. In offering required information and alternative patient’s treatments, the patient’s confidence is built in the system. Patients’ positive mental state is vital in creating a state of recovery and well being.
