    CARE: THE SECRET INGREDIENT TOWARDS PATIENT RECOVERY


    A Reflection Paper

    In building trust with others, caring is one of the most essential qualities. The way
    people understand caring is to be compassionate. We need to be attentive to patient
    expectations as a nurse. Therefore, giving consideration to those with whom we come
    into touch has many advantages. Improved patient satisfaction is one advantage. Now
    how are we going to show care to our patients? As the famous philosophy implies, you
    cannot give to others if you don’t have it in yourself. As nurses dealing with other
    individuals seeking medical concerns, it is very essential that we take the time to help
    and care for ourselves as we take action to support others. The idea of self-care
    practice doesn't mean you choose yourself over other people. This ensures that you are
    simply conscious of your own needs, so that you are better able to help the individuals
    you care for. As a result, you are better able to fulfill the needs of the patient when you
    take care of yourself and are not depressed.

    As a student nurse, I have learned that self-care comes in a number of different


    ways. It does not take a complicated plan; when you realize you are getting anxious;
    self-care can be as easy as taking a deep breath and doing things that will promote a
    healthier body and progressive life. I would probably be better able to navigate the
    stressors and problems that come along with supporting everyone you care for by
    preserving your physical and mental health. I can preserve my mental health by
    enhancing my physical health, and will thus be more effective in helping patients who
    are in need of utmost care. Some of the things I need to do is exercising regularly,
    consuming healthy food, and getting enough sleep. It is also equally important to
    maintain mental health by keeping socially connected with others. If I can effectively
    assure myself is well-taken care of, this would immediately radiate to the way how I
    handle my patients.
    To sum up what all has been stated, empathy and compassion are vital aspects
    of how a nurse should treat patients. nurses can demonstrate caring by being with the
    patient and ensuring that they feel comfortable in their environment by showing that you
    care and this would gradually affect their recovery. I have learned that the nursing
    profession is not just about treating disease, it is also about every way possible to
    improve patient care. It also involves the sharing of information with patients that is
    tailored to their particular needs, beliefs and expectations so that they will feel that we
    are concern for them. In the end, we have to always remember that patients, not just the
    diseases they have, are individuals and should be handled with dignity, respect and
    care.
