Prawdziwych przyjaciół poznajemy w biedzie. To stare powiedzenie jak najbardziej znajduje swoje potwierdzenie w realnym życiu . Przekonałam się o tym niejednokrotnie osobiście jak i na przykładzie innych ludzi .
The pandemic has really opened our eyes to valuing the ability to enjoy our ability to go where we wanted and how we lived carefree and now the health line workers are struggling to manage their health and job. We need to be gratitude 🙏 for them in our lives and how they are doing their best to help.
You are spot on about the culture of health care. Mistrust is huge and we are afraid to use these so called "mental health resources". You may not realize this, but working in health care requires staff to seek care within their own system (seeing a provider in another system is considered out of network). Our coworkers have access to our charts when we seek care from an in network provider. I would NEVER use a mental health resource provided by my own employer.
Thankfully I had Blue Cross as insurance and could go anywhere for my mental health treatment. But not only the culture, but the general stigma and wondering if your license could be in jeopardy if you have a mental health diagnosis.
I am in nursing... and our hospital is first and foremost run as a bussines. It just happens to be in healthcare, so "we" make all the right sounds and have all the admin in order. Then get down (we are not seen as equals..... this is anyway how we experience it) to nursing. We are understaffed and they keep coming up with more formulas to justify less staf per patient. What they do not acknowledge, is that we are humans, not numbers. You cannot cut us in halves or quarters and expect us to give the same quality of work. And the past 2yr it even got worse..... work ourselves to exhaustion and as soon as we have a so called vaccine and make a choice to not have it, we are crap. No new staff come on board.... all are exhausted.... and the pressure is turned on from all sides: work and give away your freedom to choose. I've never been sick the past 2yrs, but I was burnt out. My jabbed colleagues got sick, still, and I cover for them. Yesterday I was booked off for acute anxiety disorder..... it is not strange. Yet the mill keeps on milling to create money for the bussiness associates or shareholders It is sickening!!!!
For all healthcare personnel. People generally think of doctors and nurses however, respiratory therapists, imaging technologists play a huge role in detection and recovery. They are as exposed to covid patients, they are front line and follow-up staff. To admit that we need care ourselves is taboo as a healthcare practitioner. To fall ill is equal to failing our patients and our team. The culture has to change in order to get the care we need. I absolutely agree. I have voiced this concern and now find that others are following my lead and admitting, although still as a whisper, that we could use some help. Real leaders recognize their own limits and voice it for the team before they reach unrecoverable stages. I hear the initial judgment but I'm not concerned about it. Let's all get well. 😊
I’d like to think that in UK this isn’t such a problem because they are not run predominantly as a business. But sadly it is still prevalent. We need much more support in this massively over stretched and taken for granted industry
I have used a MH support service at my work here in Australia, but it was only limited to ability to cope with work and what surrounded that stress. I was advised to seek another service for more personal issues. It was helpful but not comprehensive
Strong point Simon 🤙 Establishing short routines into the daily work cycles are essential for this. Everywhere, not just healthcare 🙏 And groups can actually build strong connections and bonds that produce oxytocin and alleviate stress in just 15 minutes ✌️ And Yes, digital works beautifully. So let’s get started I’d say 👊
Unless you've worked on a hospital floor, you wouldn't realize that you don't have an extra 15 minutes to build connections. Some days, you work 16 hours without a chance to eat.
Extraordinary person reading this, you are not define by your circumstance or your past. It’s not what happened to you that determines your success in life; it is how you deal with those circumstances that determines your success in life! You are strong, you are capable and practice forgiveness (Forgiveness is for you) and gratitude everyday. This will change the course of your life forever! Love you always and I believe in you wholeheartedly ✨❤️ - Nat
You just reminded me that I matter and I am resilient despite how I was treated. I continue to soldier on and have faith that there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
There should be a professional psychologist in the institutions where the companies have organizational charts to talk to the people working there. Companies should have psychology departments and a psychology chair, this is something i have been saying since my high school internships at a very young age and still want this to be provided in my current institution. I forwarded my request to our human resources, the idea made sense but was not implemented.
There are EAP programs that nurses and doctors have access to as employees! They can receive counseling and referrals to receive the help they need??? They do have all the resources they need to be healthy!!
Are Doctors and Nurses the only people that matter in a hospital??? There is a whole network of people that make up a hospital. It just seems like such a class issue to only talk about them.
S/S. Mental healthcare has no place in business, which is why Hospitals aren't businesses or vocational welfare states ! One has to appreciate the assistance for oneself, otherwise we are totally unable to assist anyone in general society ? V.
