A voice from a caregiver.

115. 求助 ***

照料者也要求助
求助並不是無能
也不是給人負荷
更不是不負責任
病人反而會希望
照料者可以休息
這樣可減輕病人
個人內心的壓力

115. Seeking assistance ***

When you feel you cannot handle the situation, you should seek assistance. Seeking assistance doesn’t mean that you are incompetent; it also doesn’t mean that you are irresponsible for being a caregiver. On the contrary, your patient will feel pleased that you seek assistance. This move, in fact, has reduced the stress on your patient.

116. 支持組 ***

照料者的支持組
是個求助好去處
大家互相來安慰
聽聽別人的經驗
學習怎樣去應付
不同的惡劣情況
徵求別人的意見
解決面臨的問題

116. Support group ***

One of the best ways to look for assistance is to join a support group. The support group is a place where people can comfort each other and you can learn from other people’s experience. You can solicit their suggestions on how to help you cope with your current situation.

117. 開心的一刻 ***

每一天臨睡之前
想想當日的瑣事
找尋開心的一刻
如給病人個輕吻
大家暢談手拖手
病人的一聲多謝
又或者一聲唔該
都可算是種樂事

117. A happy moment ***

Every night before you retire, try to look for a happy moment that happened during the day. This includes the kiss you gave to your patient, your holding hands with him/her when you talked to him/her, a word of thank you and a word of appreciation from your patient. Thinking about these moments will make you happy and help you sleep well.

118. 減壓好方法 ***

笑是減壓好良藥
最好大家齊齊笑
與病人共坐欣賞
一套滑稽好笑片
笑話連天更加好
笑到見牙唔見眼
開開心心過一天
留下美好的回憶

118. Methods of reducing stress ***

Maintaining a smile is the best medicine to relieve stress. The best method is to laugh together with your patient. Watch a comedy movie together. It is even better if you both laugh freely and have a big laugh appearing to be closing your eyes and showing your teeth. It is a good thing to have a happy day and leave behind some happy memories.
