Material Detail

This is an assignment of which students report is truly enlightening and makes them grow. Students frequently shield their emotions by hiding behind the physical and technical aspects of patient care rather than address the more humanistic, personal side. The fear of opening a Pandora’s Box of emotions both within themselves and within their patients often cause healthcare students to shy away from the sensitive side of care. Currently with the tremendous stress practitioners caring for COVID patients are experiencing, preparing students with expressive outlets and equipping them with some form of mental hygiene would be a proactive undertaking. Finding a way to challenge students to really see their patients and themselves by looking deeper than obvious physical and procedural care is a key initiative. To help students better grasp the psychosocial needs of patients the author believes students must first gain an 2 appreciation of their own feelings and adopt some means of self-expressing their own mental responses to patient care scenarios.
