给看护者的建议: & 建议

A burn accident creates many changes and losses for you and your loved ones. 呆在医院里是很可怕的. 病人 often experience frustration and depression during recovery.

Our burn team considers every aspect of healing to treat the whole person. 

如果你是病人的家人或朋友, we encourage you to review these policies and procedures.

Openly communicate with your loved one and staff to help provide support. 


高级护理指示

作为日常护理的一部分,大发娱乐要求你 填写高级指令. Advanced directives are detailed instructions on how to care for you or your loved one if they have a cardiac arrest or other life-threatening event.

This is routine practice for all patients and does not mean that something bad has happened or that we expect something bad to happen. 


Our doctors will communicate openly and honestly about you or your loved one’s condition. If complications occur, we may ask you to make decisions about care.

It is important to keep in mind the patient’s wishes and how they would want to be cared for. If you don’t know the patient’s wishes or are unwilling to commit to decisions regarding their care, we will provide the care we believe best serves the patient. 


情感支持

You and your loved ones need emotional support even when things go well. 如果有并发症或不良后果, our entire team will support you and your loved ones as much as possible.

We encourage you to ask questions about uncomfortable issues. We will answer all questions open and honestly and explain if a complication has occurred.

We provide support throughout treatment no matter what happens.


护理人员的实用技巧

  • The best time to ask for help is before you really need it. 不要等到你筋疲力尽的时候. 

  • 尽早建立一个支持系统. 

  • Involve others and make them comfortable with the situation, even if the help seems minor. 

  • Be aware of the effect of compliments and don’t let them disable you. (For example, it can be hard to live up to expectations when people call you a hero.) 

  • Build consensus with the burn team, your family members, and the patient in decisions where possible. 

  • Feel free to let others be responsible for finding answers. 

  • Know how to ask politely, but directly, for what you need.

  • 寻求爱和支持的关系. 

  • 寻找积极的互动和社会支持. 

  • 锻炼
