什么是慈怀理？

 

慈怀护理是给予病患和家属富于怜悯心及全面关怀的临终护理。她也提供生理、情绪、心灵和福利支援。 慈怀护理包括如何控制疼痛及症状，支援性的聆听和谅解。她尊重病患的权利和选择，如何渡过剩余的时光，尊重病人的习俗、文化及宗教信仰。 

新山慈怀护理协会的成立，是要提供居家关怀，既给那些已经失去健康和自力更生而在家里疗养的癌症病人，医药和护理方面的援助，在生理、心理和精神上协助他们。 对于那些从长期性转为突然迅速恶化不能治愈的病患，慈怀护理是个支援服务。我们的病患以晚期癌症患者居多。

我们的队伍：

 

我们的团员包括一位医生、两位全职护士、及义工。他们都经过专业训练，认同慈怀护理的理念。他们也必须掌握良好的沟通和聆听技巧。

 

我们的服务：

 

  • 在新山半径25公里范围以内；

  • 护理照料、留意医药；

  • 控制疼痛和症状及心理上的辅导；

  • 护士家访：周一至周五，9am---5pm

  • 医生的家访---若有需要；

  • 指导负责照顾病人的家属基本医疗护理，以确保病人即使在家也一样感觉舒服；

  • 若有存货，可以外借医疗器材：如病床、床褥、氧气机、轮椅、便桶箱、注射仪器，等等

 

"收费"

 

此项服务是完全提供予新山、士古来、巴西古当一代的社群。 新山是一个非营利组织，其经费来源是仰赖公众及公司、团体之慈善捐款。 转诊介绍：我们接受任何病患驻诊医院主治医生所推荐的病患。这是为了确保我们能得到病患最新的医疗报告和所服用药物的记录，以帮助我们作更进一步的护理关怀。我们也奉劝病患能和主治医生继续有预约看诊（无论是政府医院或私人医生）。因为我们希望可以和主治医生及肿瘤专家互相搭配，以确保在家里疗养的病患，得到最多的关怀和舒适。我们的职员和义工，会尊重病患的习俗、文化和宗教信仰。他们不会干预病患的家庭事务，对病患的资料保守秘密。在任何时候，病患或者其家属，都可以要求终止这项服务。 慈怀护理是一项规划良好的服务。愈早寻求慈怀的协助（例如出院之前），将能让我们有更多时间，去控制那些令人苦恼的症兆，及与医院的医疗人员取得协调。与此同时，尽早寻求慈怀的协助，也能建立更好的支援和信任，让病患及家属更有安全感，安抚他们心中的焦虑。 温馨提醒：病患必须有自家成员陪伴在侧和照顾，因为我们所提供的只是支援性的服务。
