After years of experience in critical care, we’ve seen firsthand how medical science has advanced. But we’ve also learned that the most important part of care is often the human touch. At Sanjeevni Plus Hospital in Rohtak, we believe that great medical care goes hand-in-hand with kindness and understanding. Our ICU isn’t just a place for treatment; it’s a safe space where compassion and support matter as much as medicine.
Why Compassion Matters in the ICU-
Taking care of very sick patients can be hard for everyone involved. It takes not just medical knowledge, but also a deep understanding of how people feel. When families face the possibility of losing a loved one, they feel scared and sad. As healthcare providers, it’s our job to be there for them during this difficult time.
At Sanjeevni Plus Hospital, we put compassion first in our ICU. We know that our patients aren’t just numbers; they’re individuals with unique stories and loved ones who are affected by their illness. Our dedicated team is trained to be present, listen, and provide comfort, making every effort to ease the burdens faced by families.
Five Principles of Compassionate Care-
Over the years, we’ve identified five key principles that guide our compassionate care in the ICU:
- Be Kind to Yourself: To give compassion to others, we must first be kind to ourselves. This means recognizing our own limits and taking care of ourselves. The stress of working in the ICU can lead to burnout, but taking time for rest, exercise, and personal interests helps us maintain our ability to care for others effectively.
- Embrace Vulnerability: Being vulnerable allows us to connect with our patients and their families on a deeper level. It’s important to acknowledge the emotions that arise in the face of tragedy. At Sanjeevni Plus Hospital, we believe that by allowing ourselves to feel and express empathy, we can create genuine connections with those we care for.
- Be Present in Grief: Facing grief and emotional pain can be tough, but avoiding these emotions only makes things worse. Our staff at Sanjeevni Plus Hospital is trained to be present with families in their moments of grief, offering support and comfort. We understand that our presence can make a significant difference in how families process their loss.
- Live with Uncertainty: In the ICU, uncertainty is a constant. Questions about prognosis and treatment can be overwhelming for families. At Sanjeevni Plus Hospital, we strive to communicate openly and honestly, even when we don’t have all the answers.
- Admit Mistakes: In a high-stakes environment like the ICU, it can be hard to admit mistakes. However, we believe that acknowledging errors and being open to feedback fosters a culture of trust and collaboration among our staff.
Creating a Supportive Environment-
To truly embody these principles, we’ve made significant efforts to cultivate a supportive environment at Sanjeevni Plus Hospital. Our ICU is designed to be a space where both patients and families feel welcomed and cared for.
- Welcoming Atmosphere: From the moment families enter our ICU, they are greeted with warmth and kindness. We provide comfortable waiting areas and resources to help them feel at ease. Our staff is always available to answer questions, offer support, or simply lend a listening ear.
- Family Involvement: We believe that family involvement is crucial in the healing process. Our team encourages family members to participate in care discussions and decisions. By including them in the process, we empower families and help them feel more connected to their loved ones’ care.
- Continuous Training: We prioritize continuous training and education for our staff. By keeping up with the latest advancements in critical care and incorporating lessons on compassion, we ensure our team is always prepared to provide the best care possible.
