A group of ＂post-90s＂ nurses in Shanghai took care of another group of ＂post-90s＂ nurses and painted 200 paintings in five years.
"Time has taken away youth, and years have eroded pride. Once a teenager, he is now in a hospital bed. This is the life course that each of us must go through. When you are old, who will be with you … …” The reading of this sitcom is straightforward, and it also puts forward a realistic and urgent proposition: providing for the elderly.
A few days ago, the sitcom "Sunflower", which was performed by the "post-90 s" nurses in Hudong Nursing Home for the Aged in Yangpu District, was performed in Shanghai for some medical staff. Sunflower tells the true story of young nurses in this nursing home for the aged. Here, the "post-90 s" nurse team is the main force of nursing, and 13 young girls account for half of the nursing staff in the hospital. The oldest is 27 years old and the youngest is 23 years old. They take care of another group of "post-90 s", those old people in their eighties and nineties.
When you treat the old man as your closest relative, your fear will dissipate.
"My name is Ni Luyan, born in 1991, and I have worked in Hudong Nursing Home for the Aged for six years. Perhaps it is because I took care of my grandparents who were lying in bed since I was a child. When I filled in my volunteers for the senior high school entrance examination, I did not hesitate to choose the nursing major of Yangpu Health School. " Ni Luyan said that after graduation, she was assigned to Hudong Nursing Home for the Aged as she wished, and faced more "grandfathers and grandmothers" and found that "reality is not a fairy tale".
In this nursing home for the aged, the average age of the elderly is 85, and there are many elderly people in their 90s. Most of them suffer from chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, diabetes and sequelae of cerebral infarction, which lead to disability and dementia of the elderly. They have little ability to express clearly and lack the necessary reaction ability. This is the biggest difference between nursing homes and nursing homes.
Grandma Xu in a ward is a patient who is difficult to care for by Ni Luyan. When she was admitted to hospital because of sequelae of cerebral infarction, her face was very thin and she had many pressure sores on her body. Blister sores are particularly easy to break, as long as they are broken, the wound will be eroded. When the illness was serious, Grandma Xu had as many as 16 blisters all over her body, and 40% of her skin was broken. Broken blister sores are often accompanied by thick yellow liquid flowing out, giving off a pungent smell.
The smell made the elderly living in the same ward ask for a room change, and the nursing staff resigned one after another. Even the family members of the elderly did not want to stay long, so they left with a few words during the visit … … All this, the old man saw in his eyes, so he has been depressed and unwilling to cooperate with the treatment.
"When these strangers are regarded as close relatives, the inexplicable fear and loss will be dispelled by a determination." Ni Luyan took care of the elderly.
The stench of wound ulceration is prohibitive. Ni Luyan and her colleagues wear "thickened masks" with multiple layers of gauze. More than 50 pieces of gauze are used for each dressing change, and it takes an hour or two. They keep bending and standing for an hour or two, and concentrate on treating the wound. In order to make the old people clean and comfortable without peculiar smell, this group of nurses should change the medicine for Grandma Xu at least twice a day, four or five times a day. Dressing in winter, the elderly are afraid of the cold, and several nurses set up a "small tent" on the hospital bed with quilts and bamboo poles to keep warm and avoid the contact between broken skin and clothes.
Everything comes to him who waits, and with continuous nursing, the blister gradually closes up until it disappears. A smile appears on the lost old man’s face, and he jokes and amuses with the nurse every day, just like a different person.
The "painter" nurse painted 200 pictures in five years, knocking on the soft heart of the old man.
What is the most important thing in nursing work? Fu Rong, a young nurse, blurted out, "Skilled." Bu Lina, the head nurse of Hudong Geriatric Nursing Home in Yangpu District, smiled and shook her head and said, "It is the temperature passed down from hand to hand."
In this nursing home for the aged, there is also a "painter" nurse. Her name is Zhang Yuan.
"For most patients in our nursing home, healing and rehabilitation seem to be distant dreams, and their emotions are inevitably pessimistic and disappointed." Zhang Yuan picked up a childhood brush, and painting played a strange role here.
Grandpa Shi in the second ward is 86 years old, like an "old child". He especially likes to eat beef jerky, spiced beans and scallion cakes. He comes to everyone. The problem is that he has diabetes and can’t keep his mouth shut, which is going to cause trouble.
Once, on the birthday of Wang Apo in the next ward, several nurses bought a cake for the old man. Grandpa Shi looked at it, staring at the cake with his eyes fixed on it.
When the old man was young, he loved to eat commander Kay’s fresh milk cake. When he was old, he was sick and couldn’t eat it. Knowing this story, Zhang Yuan painted the old man’s favorite cake, colorful flowers, strawberries, cherries, yellow peaches and other fruits, and there was a bow next to the cake. I didn’t expect this to become a spiritual sustenance for the elderly! It turns out that the old man’s daughter now lives abroad, and the old man often ties a bow to his daughter’s braid when he is young.
"The old people who live in nursing homes are most looking forward to the companionship of their loved ones and the visits of their children." Zhang Yuan said. Li Nainai’s son is very busy at work. The old man doesn’t talk, but he often stares at his mobile phone. Zhang Yuan made two cards for her, one with a cartoon image of her son and the other with a photo of Li Nainai. When the old man received the card, he cried with joy and kept saying, "Like! Really like! " The old man put the card on the bed and said that he missed his son. Looking at the card gave him comfort and sustenance.
Grandpa Chen has lost his language function because of a cerebral infarction, and sometimes he is not conscious, but as long as his wife comes, he will try his best to support himself and see that their feelings are very good. But his wife is too old to come every day. Grandpa Chen often asks the nurse to call her, and then tries to get close to the receiver and listen to her voice.
The sincere feelings of the old people moved Zhang Yuan and her colleagues. Zhang Yuan specially posted a photo of the old couple on his painting, painted the appearance of the head nurse calling, and wrote "Hold your hand and grow old with your son".
During more than five years in Hudong Nursing Home, Zhang Yuan gave about 200 paintings to his grandparents. "Behind every painting, there is a story, a sustenance and a desire." She said so.
The problem of providing for the aged comes to the fore, and the "post-90 s" holds up everyone’s tomorrow
"Chaoyang" guards the "sunset", and such a warm-hearted picture is staged every day in Hudong Nursing Home for the Aged. This is not a microcosm of the social pension proposition.
Shao Guihua is 86 years old, and his wife, Xu Zhengtai, is 91 years old. Because of cerebral infarction, he is paralyzed and can’t take care of himself. In January 2016, the old man first lived in Hudong Senior Care Home.
As the saying goes, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own grass nest. When their wife is sick, she has to live in a nursing home. Shao Guihua has concerns. When she sees that most of them are post-90 s nurses, she even drums. "If not, go home."
What she didn’t expect was that it took only half a year from "trying to live" to "staying" and now "loving to live". She said that the sincere help of nurses made her feel at home, what’s more, she really couldn’t take care of it herself — — — She is also an old man who is running for nine.
"When the families of the patients we are facing are already old people, we know very well that the pace of an aging society is getting closer and closer." "How can 200 beds explore a better and more realistic pension model?" In Hudong Nursing Home for the Aged, the reporter heard such thoughts.
As the only public nursing institution for the aged in Yangpu District, Hudong Geriatric Nursing Home is currently exploring "2+1" (second-class hospital+first-class hospital), "combination of medical care and nursing" and other new nursing modes for the aged, including remote nursing and home-based care.
Everyone will grow old. In the future, it will not only be the "post-90s" but also the "post-90s" and "post-10th" who will take care of the elderly. Now, every post-90s is not only the sunset today, but also our hope for tomorrow. (Reporter Tang Wenjia)
