Each meal consists of 100 grams of staple food, 150 grams of vegetables, and 50 grams of fruits. In the morning and afternoon, an additional 50 grams of fruits are added... Based on monitoring logs, health care worker Chen Cong conducted a health assessment on 78 year old Pu Fengxiang at Wan'an Elderly Apartment in Luohe, Henan, and further improved the elderly's dining plan. "The old man is in the recovery period after surgery and has diabetes. We suggest eating fewer meals and increasing blood sugar monitoring Chen Cong, a post-90s generation who has been in the nursing industry for nearly 10 years, said. In the room, Mr. Pu watched TV while eating fruit. Rest your eyes, let's take a walk, "Chen Cong reminded. With the help of Chen Cong, Mr. Pu walked back and forth twice in the 30 meter long corridor. Last May, when Mr. Pu first arrived at the apartment, it was a different scene. After the surgery at the hospital, I turned around with a tube inserted and a ventilator on, "Chen Cong recalled. While providing medical care, Chen Cong and his colleagues worked together to develop a care plan for Mr. Pu. Scientific nursing has been effective, and the elderly have recovered better than expected. The little girl understands medical care and can take care of her. I watched as my wife gradually learned to take care of herself from recovering consciousness Uncle Pu's wife, Aunt Song, said. In 2015, Chen Cong, who graduated from nursing major, applied to Wan'an Elderly Apartment. In her early twenties, she was once regretful for not being able to enter a large hospital. In August 2022, the first Henan Province Elderly Care Service Vocational Skills Competition was held. Chen Cong won the second prize in the health caregiver competition. After the competition, she received a vocational skill level certificate printed by the office of the Henan Vocational Skills Competition Organizing Committee, which gave her a new identity - a health caregiver. Health care professionals were officially included in the national occupational classification ceremony in 2020, and the national vocational skills standards were established in 2022. By utilizing basic medical nursing knowledge and skills, healthcare professionals provide health and lifestyle care services to their caregivers in homes, hospitals, communities, and long-term care institutions. I used to think that as long as I wasn't afraid of hardship, I could be competent. Now I understand that healthcare professionals should also learn emergency response, targeted care, psychological care... "Chen Cong said. During the postoperative recovery period, Mr. Pu was initially unwilling to engage in more activities. Upon learning that the elderly loved peaches, Chen Cong encouraged him to get out of bed and walk by eating peaches; Upon learning that the elderly person had a strong competitive spirit, Chen Cong initiated a wrist wrestling competition and intentionally lost, allowing the elderly person to maintain their enthusiasm for strength recovery training... Over time, through body language or facial expressions, Chen Cong could understand the elderly person's meaning. One morning at the beginning of this year, a performance activity was being held in the senior activity room. After finger movements, there is a singing segment. Chen Cong noticed that 85 year old Wan Xiumei had a crooked mouth and less active hand and foot movements when singing. Noticing an abnormality, she speculated that it might be a cerebral infarction and immediately asked the elderly person to stop and rest, and contacted a rehabilitation doctor. Due to timely detection and proper handling, the elderly were able to recover after treatment. At the home of 93 year old Xu Airong, the reporter saw Wan Xiumei visiting the door. Two elderly people sat around a small round table and played checkers. Chen Cong gave advice to Xu Airong, but still lost the battle. Look, my brain still works! "Wan Xiumei said with a smile. Wan'an Elderly Apartment is a demonstration institution for the integration of medical care and elderly care, with 143 elderly residents currently residing there. Here, compound talents who understand both life care and health care are very popular, "said Wang Weifeng, the person in charge of the senior apartment. Health care professionals meet the needs of high-quality, personalized, and diversified health care, respond to the practical concerns of an aging society, and provide many employment opportunities Li Haiping, the head of the Vocational Capacity Building Department of Luohe Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, said. This year, Luohe launched a large-scale training program for health and care skilled personnel, promoting the construction of a "certified and skilled Henan" for everyone. We need to work harder to ensure better health and elderly care Chen Cong, who is already a second level health caregiver, plans to "challenge" to a higher level. She has a newly hired post-2000 caregiver by her side, who is also preparing to become a health care professional. (New Society)
