In a nursing home in Chongqing, Grandma Xiong is the most special old man - she puts on her overalls every morning, goes to work at the gate on time, takes the temperature of people who come and go, and registers people who come and go. She also often shows off that at the age of 75, she still does a good job and is often praised by her leaders.
In fact, as in the movie "Father Trapped in Time", Grandma Bear is an Alzheimer's patient, and her memories are left in the old times. And the people around her, with love and heartache, help her maintain the world she thinks...
A-face bear mother's world
The job is to keep the door right
On the morning of the 14th, the warm winter sun spread the earth, Chongqing Wanzhou Longdu Street Pension Service Center, Mother Xiong wore a yellow vest and sat at the gate. Mother Xiong reminded herself in the form of repeated meditation: "I must guard the door well to prevent people with bad thoughts from destroying it." ”
Whenever a visitor arrives, Grandma Bear will take the temperature of the other party and prompt the other party to register the visit. When a courier arrives, Grandma Bear will pick up an alcohol bottle and spray disinfect the courier. This process, Mother Xiong is familiar with, not only because she has been doing this job for more than 5 months, but also because at the daily employee morning meeting, Director Deng will also explain it to her again.
In order to do this job well, Grandma Bear gets up on time at 7 o'clock every morning. After breakfast, Grandma Bear immediately went to work. To the left of the gate is the registration area and to the right is the welcome area, where she will rotate back and forth with another security guard to the master. Halfway through, Grandma Xiong wants to go to the toilet, and she will also responsibly give an explanation to the master.
The monthly salary is 2000 yuan
In the afternoon, Grandma Bear also ushered in the happiest moment of the month - receiving a salary. Supervisor Deng handed the envelope containing 2,000 yuan in cash to Grandma Xiong. The bear mother-in-law happily took it, counted it, and then put it into the pocket of the inner layer of the jacket, and then patted the clothes flat, and then returned to work with confidence. Mother-in-law Bear's salary will be given to her eldest daughter every month, and Mother-in-law Bear often says that at the age of 75, she feels very happy to be able to subsidize her family, and her work is not hard at all.
Dinner was to eat noodles, and Grandma Xiong instructed her colleagues in the kitchen: "I am happy today, I want to eat 2 more Ha." Colleagues teased her whether it was because of "pay", and Grandma Bear smiled, turned around and patted the jacket of the envelope.
During the meal, Grandma Xiong and Grandma Chen at the same table set up a dragon gate array. Mother Xiong said: "Today the leader praised me and said that I did a good job!" ”
"You're really capable." Grandma Chen responded. In The memory of Grandma Chen, Grandma Xiong is very busy every day, and in the morning she wants to invite her to chat with herself for a while, and Grandma Xiong has to rush to guard the door.
After the meal, Grandma Bear guarded the door for a while. When the clock in the hall pointed to 6 o'clock, Grandma Xiong gave the security guard a shift to the master, and then returned to the room to rest. Grandma Bear often said to people, "I have to go to bed before 8 o'clock in the evening, so that I don't delay going to work the next day." ”
B-side, the real world
When I first arrived, I wanted to run every day
Ms. Hu, the eldest daughter of Mother Xiong, 52 years old, told reporters on the phone that her mother is 75 years old, farming for a living, and after suffering from Alzheimer's disease, her health and memory are getting worse and worse. Earlier this year, my mother fell while working and stayed in the hospital for a long time. After being discharged from the hospital, in order to let her mother get round-the-clock care and care, she and her brother sent their mother here, "Our father has died more than ten years ago, and I hope that her mother will be well." ”
Director Deng of the nursing home said that in early July, when Grandma Bear first came, her figure was very emaciated, and Alzheimer's disease made Grandma Bear cognitively confused, thinking that she was living in the "production team". "I'm going to go back and pick up the dung and drizzle my eggplant." This is the most said sentence when Mother Bear first came, several times, Mother Bear wanted to run out quietly, but was always stopped by the security guard to the master in time.
Director Deng also said that in an unfamiliar environment, coupled with the chaos of inner space and time disorder, Grandma Xiong is very anxious and irritable every day. She refuses to sleep at night, and she will always wander the room and even the corridor, sometimes dropping things.
"Work" is a white lie
The blue jade director of the pension center told reporters that after consulting with the children of the bear mother-in-law, she jointly decided to maintain the cognition of the bear mother-in-law and appease her emotions with "white lies".
Therefore, Lan Yu followed the thinking of Mother Xiong and told her that the "production team" decided to arrange a job for Mother Xiong and let her work as a security guard here, and her monthly salary was 2,000 yuan. After listening to it, Grandma Xiong was very happy, gladly accepted the job, and received a letter of appointment. The reporter learned that this letter of appointment has been treasured by Mother Xiong in the drawer of the room.
Lan Yu said that in mid-July, Grandma Xiong officially "took office". Every day, I will be at the door on time before 8 o'clock, and I will go back to rest at 6 o'clock in the evening. Under the words and deeds of the master, Grandma Xiong is also more and more familiar with the work tasks, and the work of visitor registration and express delivery disinfection is meticulous, and she will attend the morning meeting with other "colleagues" every morning.
And the other mother-in-law grandfathers in the center also think that Mother Bear really became a security guard, and often listen to the funny things about Mother Bear posing her work.
The "salary" is cyclical every month
For the 2,000 yuan salary that Mother Xiong receives every month, Director Deng revealed that in fact, this money is from Ms. Hu, the daughter of Mother Xiong.
In the middle of each month, the nursing home pays 2,000 yuan as a "salary" to Mother-in-Law Xiong. When Ms. Hu came to visit, Grandma Xiong would give the money to Ms. Hu to subsidize her family, and said that "the 'production team' can't afford to eat and wrap up." Subsequently, Ms. Hu will return the money to the center and let it be distributed in a circular manner.
"In the past, my mother's illness was much more serious, and even we children had to admit our mistakes, but now I basically can't do it." Mr. Hu, the eldest son of Mother Xiong, who is engaged in breeding work, told reporters on the phone that every time he comes to see his mother now, he finds that his mother's mental state is getting better and better, and people are also fat, and their hearts are very happy and grateful.
In-depth interpretation: defending the world they think it is
The blue jade director of the elderly care service center has many years of professional nursing experience, and she shared her nursing experience and methods in the process of getting along with Alzheimer's patients for a long time.
Keywords: maintenance, cooperation, walking in
Sapphire said that the world of Alzheimer's patients is completely different from our real world, and they live in the world they think they are. At this time, if we go to compare, theorize, argue with them, and hope to forcibly pull them back into the real world, it will only have the opposite effect - making the patient feel uneasy, anxious, and even afraid.
The best way is to maintain its own psychological environment like you treat The Bear Mother-in-Law. When patients think they are who they are, in what era, they fully cooperate through real-life simulation or role-playing.
This is not a deception, but a key into the world of Alzheimer's patients. Get close to their hearts in a way that they can accept, protect their psychological environment, eliminate their stress and concerns, and maintain their current thinking ability.
Keywords: delay, love, understanding
Sapphire said that Alzheimer's disease belongs to a gradual process of pathological atrophy of the brain, which is also a world problem, and the effect of drug intervention is minimal. If you want to delay the development of the patient's condition, you must give the patient enough love, companionship, patience and encouragement.
For example, find ways to let patients eat and sleep on time, so that their life schedules are full of time rules to reduce the patient's sense of confusion and loss; such as accompanying patients to some puzzle games, puzzle training, so that they can carry out brain exercises; such as taking patients to carry out appropriate physical exercises to improve their physical fitness; or for example, always let patients feel that you have a very understanding and recognition of TA, in addition to language identity, you can also use hugs, handshakes and other body language to convey identity.
Finally, it should be noted that no matter what incredible actions the patient makes, do not treat the patient with anger, yelling, drinking, etc. Because you must understand that he does not really want to cause trouble and create trouble, he is just thinking of another world or time and space.
