Respect for Patients by Doctors

Respect for Patients by Doctors

 

Mutual Relationship of respect & Dignity between Doctor & Patients

 

Respect for the dignity of the person: This principle is drawn from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (United Nations, 1948) which proclaims that the basis for freedom, justice and peace is founded on the recognition of the inherent dignity and equality of human beings.

Respect and Dignity

Helping your loved one maintain a sense of dignity can be one of the most difficult aspects of care-giving.

Take a minute to consider your special role as a Doctor. More than a professional Doctor, you know the person you care for. You know the whole person, his likes and dislikes, his individual strengths and weaknesses, and his wants and needs.

It’s easy to slip into a “protective” role when you care for someone else, especially a family member. But we need to remember that unless the person is experiencing some cognitive failure (brain damage because of a stroke, dementia, or other health problem), he still makes decisions about his life. Sometimes he may make decisions that you wouldn’t make, but it is his choice. This can be difficult for you as a caregiver; you will need to watch yourself and guard against over-protection.

 

 

 

Among the most important human needs is the desire for respect and dignity. That need doesn’t change when a person becomes ill or disabled. Indeed, it may grow even stronger.

There are many things you as a doctor can do to make sure the Patients in your care receives the respect and dignity that is every person’s basic human right

 

Give Treatment Patients With Dignity.

·        Listen to his concerns.

·        Ask for his opinions and let him know they are important to you.

·        Involve him in as many decisions as possible.

·        Include him in the conversation. Don’t talk about him as though he’s not there.

·        Speak to him as an adult, even if you’re not sure how much he understands.

 

                        

Patients tell us that dignity and respect means:

 • being treated with care and compassion;

 • polite, courteous staff;

 • having their privacy and dignity actively respected; and

 • having their views listened to and taken into consideration.

Is Physiotherapy at home really helpful? 

Physiotherapy at home  helps people of all ages who have medical conditions, illnesses, injuries that limit their regular ability to move and function.

A proper  physiotherapy program can help individuals return to their prior level of functioning &  encourage activities and lifestyle changes that can help prevent further injury and improve overall health and well being.

 Few reasons physiotherapy at home really helpful:-

4.  Recover from a stroke.

It is common to lose some degree of function and movement after stroke. Physiotherapy helps to strengthen weakened parts of the body and improve gait & balance.

Physiotherapists can also improve stroke patients’ capability to transfer and move around in bed so  they can be more independent around the home, &  reduce their burden of care for toileting, bathing, dressing and other activities of daily living(ADL)

5.  Recover from or prevent a sports injury.

Physio understand how different sports can increase your risk for specific types of injuries (such as stress fractures for distance runners). They can design appropriate recovery or prevention exercise plan for you to ensure a safe return to your sport.

When you begin physiotherapy session, you will get screened for fall risk. If you’re at high risk for falls, physiotherapists will provide exercises that safely and carefully challenge your balance as a way to mimic real -life situations.

Physiotherapists also help you with exercises to improve coordination and assistive devices to help with the safer walking. When the balance problem is caused by a problem in one’s vestibular system,

Physio can perform specific maneuvers that can quickly restore proper vestibular functioning, and reduce and eliminate all symptoms of dizziness or vertigo.

7.  Manage diabetes and vascular conditions.

In the  diabetes management plan, exercise can help effectively control blood sugar. Additionally, people with diabetes may have problems with sensation in their feet and legs.

Physio can help educate these patients on proper foot care to prevent further problems down the road. They can also assist with pain management.

8.  Manage age-related issues

As individuals age, they may develop arthritis/ osteoporosis or need a joints replacement. Balance also tends to decrease significantly and people develop a much higher risk for falls& others. Physiotherapists are experts in helping patients recover from joint replacement, & manage arthritic or osteoporotic conditions conservatively.

9.  Manage heart and lung disease.

While patients may complete cardiac rehabilitation after a heart attack/ procedure, you also may receive physiotherapy session  if your daily functioning is affected.

For pulmonary problems, physiotherapy can improve quality of  life through strengthening, conditioning and breathing exercises, and help patients clear fluid in the lungs.
