Medical staff in Shanghai provided cartoon manuals for patients
On May 7th, the second team of Jiangxi Aid Shanghai Medical Team followed the rules of Shanghai The Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters made a unified arrangement and moved to Shidong Hospital, Yangpu District, Shanghai, a designated hospital for the treatment of the new crown. At present, the second team of the Jiangxi Aid Shanghai Medical Team has taken over 102 patients in the two wards of the hospital. Among them, the proportion of elderly patients reached 85%. In view of the fact that there are many elderly patients in the ward and there are multiple underlying diseases, the second team of the Jiangxi Aid Shanghai Medical Team applied the experience of the geriatric nursing specialist of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University to the front line of the war in Shanghai. This cartoon handbook is one of the personalized care services provided by the medical team to the elderly patients in the ward.
“Because some elderly patients in the ward have deaf ears or can’t speak Mandarin very well, in order to solve the problem of communication with them, we designed such a small manual. Like a 91-year-old patient Grandpa Ni has a back-of-the-ear situation, but he has good eyesight, and with this manual, communication is basically barrier-free.” Yan Meixiu introduced that the use of the cartoon booklet makes it easier for nursing staff to communicate with patients.
In addition to the simple and easy-to-understand cartoon booklet, the nursing team of the medical team also specially made an assessment form for each elderly patient in the ward to assess the cognitive function, physical activity and nutritional status of the patient. Comprehensive evaluation of various aspects, etc., has important reference value for further diagnosis and treatment of patients.
