Working in the psychiatric department gave him many feelings and gains. ** 1. Feelings ** 1. ** The pressure of the patient's special behavior ** - Psychiatrists may have a variety of strange behaviors. For example, patients with visual and auditory hallucinations will see people as objects or hear non-existent sounds and react. For example, some patients in the ward would treat their new ward mate as a " mouse." This phenomenon that deviated from conventional cognition was a common scene in the work. The staff needed to deal with and understand it at all times. - The patients in the attack stage may also show signs of dancing, talking to the air, smashing the bed, etc. This is a challenge to the staff's psychological endurance. 2. ** Dealing with the complexity of the patient's condition ** - The patients 'conditions were diverse and complicated. Some of them might have mental problems caused by work stress, such as feeling constantly monitored or targeted by colleagues. The staff needed to understand the patient's background and the root cause of the illness in order to carry out their work better. - Different patients had different episodes and symptoms. The management and treatment of patients with severe mental illness were more difficult. They might be in closed wards. When their condition was serious, they needed special restraint measures, such as being bound to the bed by nurses. This involved the safety and health management of patients, but also tested the balance of ethics and operation of the staff. 3. ** Uniqueness of the way to interact with patients ** - When patients were first admitted to the hospital, they were often quite resistant to the medical staff. This required the staff to have enough patience to establish a trust relationship. - However, after establishing a good relationship with the patient, they could experience a special emotional connection, such as the positive changes after the patient's condition improved, just like seeing their loved ones recover. 4. ** The uniqueness of the working environment ** - When working in a closed ward, the environment was relatively oppressive. The door of the ward was locked 24 hours a day, and the medical staff had to be extra vigilant against the patient's behavior near the door. This kind of working environment had a certain impact on the mental state of the staff. - On the other hand, in open wards, although the management was lax, they still had to pay attention to the patient's condition at all times, because even patients who were relatively conscious could have problems at any time. ** 2. Harvest ** 1. ** Professional sense of accomplishment ** - When they saw patients getting better day by day through treatment and care, even if the patients might not remember the unfriendly behavior they had done to the medical staff when they were sick, the medical staff could feel the value of their work. - Helping patients reignite their passion for life and hope for the future could give medical staff a strong sense of professional satisfaction. 2. ** Understanding of human nature and the patient's special emotions ** - In this department, they could experience a special nurse-patient relationship and the kindness of human nature. Even though the patients had symptoms, they could establish a family-like warmth and a brother-sister relationship during the process of improving their condition. This was something that was difficult to experience in other departments. 3. ** A deeper understanding of mental illness ** - Medical staff could gain an in-depth understanding of the actual symptoms of various mental illnesses in patients, from book knowledge to practical observation and understanding, such as comprehensive understanding of various symptoms from auditory and visual hallucinations to aggressive behavior towards others.
Working in the psychiatric department might have the following experiences: ** 1. About getting along with patients ** 1. ** The complexity of communication ** - Mental patients had a variety of symptoms. For example, patients with schizophrenia might have delusions and hallucinations. This made effective communication a challenge. Many times, it seemed that the patient was talking to him, but the patient might be in his own spiritual world and not in the same space as the medical staff. The real effective communication often had to wait until the patient "intermittently returned to normal." - However, even though communication was difficult, patients would show positive feedback when they understood the patient's mentality, respected them, and treated them equally. For example, even if they might have conflicts with their family members, they would usually cooperate with the doctor's work and protect the doctor if they were respected. 2. ** Unpredictable patient behavior ** - Some patients tended to be aggressive, especially during the acute stage of the disease. For example, patients who were at risk of violent attacks might resist hospitalization (when they were forced to be hospitalized by their family members) and attack the medical staff they came into contact with, such as beating, scolding, biting, and scratching. However, through careful observation, such as observing the patient's behavior, emotions, and so on, it was possible to identify patients with problems such as aggression and delusions, and consciously avoid stimulating them to keep them stable. 3. ** In-depth understanding of patients ** - Working in the psychiatric department, medical staff would have a very deep understanding of patients. Because there were not many monitoring devices like other departments, the observation of the patient's condition almost relied on the medical staff's eyes and heart to communicate. The medical staff would know the patient's name, voice, smile, physical features, temperament, and even which patient snored, how much they ate, and how many days they had not defecated. ** 2. Work content and pace ** 1. ** Unequal busy and idle times at work ** - The situation was different in different wards. For example, in a closed ward, when the patient's condition was not good, the medical staff would be very busy and would not even have the time to drink water, but once the patient calmed down, they would have more free time. In their free time, medical staff could spend time communicating with patients who were usually unable to talk slowly to understand their treatment ideas and future work plans. To some extent, this busy state also reflected the patient's condition and emotional stability. 2. ** Comprehensiveness of nursing work ** - For nurses in the psychiatric department, their job scope was very comprehensive. Because there were very few patients in the psychiatric ward, the daily activities of the patients, such as eating, drinking, sleeping, going out for entertainment, completing auxiliary examinations, etc., needed the nurse's company and care. The nurse was like a sentinel who always stood on his post, and also like a patrolman who constantly patrolled the ward. ** 3. Awareness of oneself and occupation ** 1. ** Mental stress and self-adjustment ** - Working in the psychiatric department might face a certain amount of mental pressure. On the one hand, they were worried that the patient's mental state would affect them. On the other hand, they would face some special behaviors of the patient and challenges in their work. However, at the same time, they would also gain some insights about life from the patient's experience. For example, seeing the patient still hope to live despite experiencing all kinds of hardships would make people cherish life more. 2. ** The special significance of the profession ** - Medical staff working in the psychiatric department could deeply understand the special significance of their work. They used love, patience, and respect to help patients open their hearts, soothe their wounded hearts, bring hope and strength to patients, and become an important support force for patients in the process of fighting against diseases.
Nurses in the psychiatric department had complicated feelings when they went to work. On one hand, nurses in the psychiatric department faced many challenges and pressures. There was a risk of physical injury at work, because some patients might attack the nurse during hallucinations or when the illness acted up, such as beating, scolding, biting, scratching, etc. This was a normal danger at work. At the same time, the psychological pressure of work was also very high. For example, some nurses suffered from severe depression after working in a mental hospital for seven years. This showed that their mental endurance had been greatly tested in such a working environment for a long time. The patient might be restless, excited, and restless. The nurse needed to be on high alert and pay attention to the patient's actions at all times to prevent them from harming themselves or others. Moreover, some of the patient's behaviors required a lot of patience from the nurse. For example, a patient with a serious illness would ask the same question dozens of times, and the nurse had to respond patiently every time. When the patient was in a bad mood and did not eat or speak, the nurse had to coax him like coaxing a child. When the patient ate or took medicine, the nurse had to watch over him carefully because they might refuse to take the medicine or have the risk of choking. In addition, the nurses might also face the blame of the patient's family members. The family members might not understand their work and think that they were just serving people. On the other hand, this job was also heartwarming. When the patient's eyes were filled with anticipation, the patient's patient response could help the patient. Many patients who stayed for a long time were especially happy when they saw the nurse. They even wanted to hug her. This would make the nurse feel that her efforts were worth it and gain professional satisfaction.
There were many different positions in the psychiatric department, and different positions had different characteristics. * * 1. Psychiatrist ** 1. * * Job Description ** - The patient needed to be diagnosed and treated. It was necessary to accurately determine the type of mental illness the patient had, such as schizophrenia, mood disorder (depression, manic disorder, etc.), neurosis, and so on. The severity of the condition also needed to be assessed. This involved the understanding of the mental damage aspects of the relevant standards such as the "Human Body Minor Injury Appraisal Standard (Trial)" and "Human Body Serious Injury Appraisal Standard." Although when it came to victims with mental damage, the degree of injury was determined by the forensic doctor, but the psychiatrist had to provide a psychiatric diagnosis, analyze the causality between mental damage and trauma, and explain the prognosis and outcome. - This included choosing appropriate medication, such as antipsychotics for schizophrenia (which may have side effects such as weight gain, drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, etc.), and considering how to control psychotic symptoms (such as depression, hallucinations, delusions, etc.). At the same time, it was also necessary to pay attention to the comprehensive intervention method of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine focused on adjusting the function of the internal organs and optimized the circulation of qi and blood to fundamentally alleviate the disease, which could effectively reduce the risk of relapse and regulate the physique for a long time. 2. * * Job prospects and salary ** - From the recruitment situation, the requirement of junior college degree is more (up to 46.6%), and there is also demand for bachelor's degree or above. For example, the recruitment of psychiatrist in Jieshi Town Central Health Center in Banan District of Chongqing City requires bachelor's degree or above and corresponding degree. Most of them had unlimited experience (59.8%), and freshmen also had certain positions (0.3%). In terms of salary, 79% of the positions had a monthly salary of 3K-15K. Education and work experience would affect the salary level. Generally, the higher the education level and the more experience, the higher the salary. For example, the monthly salary of technical secondary school graduates was 7.1K, and the monthly salary of freshmen was 8.2K. 3. * * Work Challenge ** - To deal with patients with all kinds of complex mental illnesses, one needed to constantly update their professional knowledge and understand the latest treatment methods and drugs. At the same time, they had to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations that might occur to the patient, such as the patient's tendency to commit suicide and hurt others. * * 2. Psychiatrist Nurse ** 1. * * Job Description ** - The focus was to care for and accompany the mentally ill. Their daily work included taking care of the patient's daily life, such as helping the patient wash his face, bathe, cut his hair, cut his nails, shave his beard, feed him, change his clothes, and so on. They might even have to take care of the patient's old age. He had to observe the patient's condition at all times, especially those who were impulsive, injured, and suicidal. He also had to check for dangerous items in the ward (not only knives, forks, scissors, but also ropes, plastic bags, coins, and belts.). 2. * * Work Challenge and Professional Image ** - The work was trivial and difficult. When the patient was hospitalized, the family members rarely visited him. Many things that should have been done by the family members were taken care of by the nurses, but they might not be understood by the patient or family members. Sometimes, they would be scolded by the patient or family members. Although psychiatric nurses wore white coats like ordinary nurses, there were misunderstandings about psychiatric nurses in society. For example, they were thought to be burly, stern, wear iron armor to work, and carry electric batons. However, in fact, they did not have these equipment at work like ordinary girls. They mainly took care of patients through careful care. - He was highly nervous at work because he had to ensure the safety of the patient and himself. Overall, working in the psychiatric department could play an important role in helping people with mental illnesses recover, but it also faced challenges such as high work pressure, high occupational risks, and possible misunderstandings.
The feeling of working in the psychiatric department could be described in the following aspects: ** I. Work environment and atmosphere ** 1. ** Uniqueness ** - The working environment of the psychiatric department was very different from other departments. The patients here had all kinds of mental states, and the entire department might be filled with all kinds of unpredictability. For example, patients could suddenly erupt at any time, shouting or doing something abnormal, which required the staff to be vigilant at all times. 2. ** The complexity of the atmosphere ** - On the one hand, the medical staff needed to work closely together. This was because when it came to mental patients, whether it was diagnosis, treatment, or care, it was not something that could be done by one person alone. Doctors, nurses, nurses, and other personnel needed to communicate with each other about the patient's condition frequently. For example, during the shift change, they had to explain in detail the new patients, the discharge situation, as well as their sociological, biological, and initial diagnosis information. On the other hand, the medical staff also needed to comfort and communicate with the patient's family members. The attitude and understanding of the family members also had an important impact on the patient's treatment. ** 2. Feelings of the patient ** 1. ** Compassion and responsibility ** - Many psychiatric patients were actually the disadvantaged group in society. For example, some patients had suffered external stimulation, such as the homeless woman with simple schizophrenia who might have suffered adverse events outside and became pregnant, and the 73-year-old woman who lived alone and had organic problems. She was sent to the police after her illness. They all needed to be taken care of. When medical staff faced these patients, it was easy to develop sympathy. At the same time, they felt that they shouldered a great responsibility to help them recover or at least improve their condition. 2. ** Challenge and touch brought by the patient's diverse nature ** - The patients had a variety of illnesses, from schizophrenia to manic disorder. Different patients had different symptoms. Some patients might have auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, and other symptoms, feeling that someone was monitoring them. Some patients might be extremely unstable, sometimes manic and sometimes depressed. These different symptoms and behaviors not only brought challenges to the diagnosis and treatment of medical staff, but also often touched the hearts of medical staff because these patients often had complicated family and social background factors. ** 3. Profession Growth and Harvest ** 1. ** Knowledge and skill upgrade ** - Working in the psychiatric department would allow him to continuously improve his professional knowledge and skills. For example, from the writing of medical cases, the collection of information, to the diagnosis and identification of diseases, there would be great progress. For example, they had to collect information from the patient's sociological information, chief complaint, current medical history, past history, personal history, and other aspects. They also had to consider the cause of mental problems in combination with physiological factors. This was different from the traditional thinking mode that only focused on psychological or social factors. It would help to broaden the medical field of vision of medical staff. 2. ** Enhancement of mental endurance ** - As they often faced patients 'sudden situations and some relatively heavy patient stories, the staff's psychological endurance would be trained. For example, they had to get used to the patient's insults and aggressive behavior, and they had to deal with the impact of complicated family relationships on the patient's treatment. This made the staff in the psychiatric department more psychologically resilient.
The psychosocial department was not a psychiatric department. The Department of Psychosomatics mainly focused on the relationship between psychological problems and physical symptoms. It focused on dealing with the relationship between psychological problems and physical symptoms. First, it excluded patients with serious and organic physical diseases. For example, the Department of Psychosomatics would focus on physical symptoms (such as headaches, stomachaches, etc.) that might be caused by psychological distress (such as stress, anxiety, etc.). The psychiatric department was more focused on the diagnosis and treatment of mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, depression, and other serious mental illnesses.
Working in a psychiatric hospital had its own unique characteristics. From the content of their work, medical staff mainly served mental patients who lacked rationality. The focus of a nurse's work was not on injections and dressing changes, but more on taking care of the patient's daily life, such as washing his face, bathing, cutting his hair, cutting his nails, shaving his beard, feeding him, changing his clothes, and so on. He might even have to take care of the patient's old age. Doctors would also participate in the patient's clothing, food, accommodation, transportation, and other aspects. At the same time, the medical staff also needed to constantly observe the patient's condition, especially those who were impulsive, injured, and suicidal. They also had to check the dangerous items in the ward to prevent accidents. From the perspective of the working atmosphere and the challenges faced, on the one hand, society's understanding of mental health was insufficient. Some parents had outdated ideas and thought that mental illness was "shameful" and were unwilling to take their children to see a doctor. This might affect the work of psychiatric hospitals. On the other hand, there were certain dangers in their work. Medical staff were highly nervous because they not only had to ensure the patient's personal safety, but also their own safety. Sometimes, even if they gave their all, they would not be recognized by the patient or their family members. They might even be insulted. From the perspective of career development, there were different perspectives. The optimists believed that the treatment and holidays were better, and that it was relatively easy to find a job because there were fewer people studying related majors. The pessimists were worried that it was difficult to find a job partner in a psychiatric hospital, and they felt that the patients were either difficult to communicate with or had poor hygiene. However, there was also a positive aspect. If the medical staff could understand and respect the patient, the patient would usually listen to the doctor and protect the doctor. Medical staff could also feel the sense of accomplishment from helping patients get better and restoring hope to their families.
" Observing the feelings and gains of cats " Cats were mysterious and charming little animals. Being with them and observing them could bring people many unique feelings and precious gains. From its appearance, every part of the cat looked like a meticulously carved piece of art. Their eyes were like a deep lake. During the day, they might narrow into a thin line and look lazy, but at night, they would become full of vigor and shine in the darkness like two mysterious gems. Their ears were sharp and alert, like two sensitive radars, constantly capturing the subtle sounds around them. And that small nose, which was always wet, kept sniffing around, exploring this world full of novelty. The whiskers on their mouths were slender and long. They were not only for decoration, but also a unique tool for them to sense their surroundings. Cat fur was soft and smooth, like the finest silk. When you gently stroked it, the delicate touch would spread from your fingertips to your entire body, giving you an indescribable sense of comfort. When observing the behavior of cats, one could discover their uniqueness. Cats were very independent animals. They had their own rhythm of life. For example, cats were often seen curled up in a warm and comfortable corner during the day, sleeping soundly under the sun, as if all the noise in the world had nothing to do with it. This leisurely attitude made people envious. However, when night fell, they seemed to have changed their appearance, becoming agile and active. They walked around the room quietly with light steps, chasing the invisible dust or exploring a newly discovered corner. He could also gain a lot of fun from interacting with cats. Sometimes, they would take the initiative to come over and rub their soft heads against your hands. They would make a gurgling sound from their throats. This was their way of expressing their intimacy. When you played with them with a cat teaser, they would focus on the shaking small object, then suddenly reach out their little claws and try to catch it. The explosive power and agility of that moment was amazing. The intelligence of cats was not to be underestimated. They seemed to be indifferent, but they actually had a keen perception of their surroundings. They would remember the most comfortable place to sleep, know when it was time to eat, and cleverly avoid danger. For example, when they encountered something unfamiliar or felt threatened, they would not rush forward blindly. Instead, they would remain vigilant and observe for a period of time before reacting. Through observing cats, I gained a deeper understanding of animal habits. Although cats were not as passionate and extroverted as dogs, they had their own unique way of expressing their emotions. They teach us to enjoy our time alone and to face life's situations with a calm and collected attitude. At the same time, their sharpness and wisdom also remind us to be vigilant in life and be good at discovering the beauty and danger around us. Every time I look at cats and interact with them, it's like a silent exchange. It makes me feel the wonder and mystery of the animal world, and it also makes me cherish the time I spend with them even more.
Observing cats could bring about many unique feelings and gains. Cats were mysterious and charming animals. Their behavior and habits were rich in content. In the process of observing cats, they could see their different emotional expressions, such as lazy postures and wild sleeping postures when they were satisfied, which showed their trust in the environment. When they asked to be stroked, their cute appearance reflected their need and love for human companionship. When he saw the cat waiting for the mouse, he could feel the diligence in their bones. At the same time, the complex social relationships between cats were also very interesting. Cats who were neglected would have specific behaviors, which reflected that they also had emotional needs similar to humans. These behaviors and reactions of cats allow us to have more understanding and respect for the inner world of animals. It also makes us cherish the company of these cute creatures in life and feel the variety and wonder of life.
Raising a cat could bring many benefits and feelings. In terms of emotions, it can establish a deep emotional bond with cats, obtain unconditional love and companionship from cats, reduce loneliness and increase happiness. From the perspective of mental health, interacting with cats will promote the production of neurotransmitter such as Dopamine and Serotonin, improve mood, reduce depression and loneliness, and reduce anxiety and stress. For example, it can lower blood pressure, so that people can relax and relieve tension when observing cat behavior and play. Raising a cat also helps to develop a sense of responsibility and caring ability. This is because the basic needs of cats such as food, water, cleaning, and medical care have to be met. This process allows people to learn to pay attention to and care for others and cultivate empathy. At the same time, getting along with cats could enhance human immunity and reduce the occurrence of allergic reactions and asthma. In terms of social interaction, it provided social opportunities for people to exchange experiences with other cat owners, share photos and stories, and participate in pet community activities to expand their social circle and meet like-minded friends. In terms of feelings, although raising a cat required energy, such as work fatigue and busy life, cats were like friends and partners in the long-term companionship process. When the owner came home, the cat would guard the door, follow the feet, jump on the body and seek caress. Moreover, raising a cat could be a joy in life. It could help people find a way to relax outside of their busy life, quickly forget the unhappiness in work and life, and adjust their mentality to return to normal. Children might become more patient after raising cats. This patience might also permeate other aspects such as learning.
Beijing had Peking University Sixth Hospital, Beijing Anding Hospital, and Huilongguan Hospital, which were three major psychiatric hospitals. They each had their own strengths and were top-notch in the country. According to the 2021 Fudan edition of the top 100 departments of Fudan Psychiatrists and the comprehensive score, Beijing Anding Hospital's comprehensive score is relatively high. The Sixth Hospital of Peking University Medical University also had certain advantages. Since its establishment, it had been carrying out integrated Chinese and Western medicine diagnosis and treatment, and had specialized integrated Chinese and Western medicine outpatients. Huilongguan Hospital had carried out a series of scientific research projects in the integrated Chinese and Western medicine diagnosis and treatment of mental illnesses, and the clinical efficacy was constantly improving. Xuanwu Hospital also had a psychiatric department, but from the data provided, it did not have an advantage compared to the first three in terms of the number of doctors who could be consulted, the number of doctors who could be registered, and the number of good reviews. Therefore, it was difficult to say which hospital was the best. Different hospitals had their own characteristics in different aspects, and patients could choose according to their own needs.
