"Sun Wukong roared, "Goblin, watch the stick"..." On the evening of March 8, in the intensive care area A of Wuchang Hospital, Sichuan assisted the ninth batch of medical team members of Hubei and the Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of Mianyang Third People's Hospital Department nurse You Jingxiu told a 101-year-old mother-in-law with Alzheimer’s disease in the ward about the story of "Three Hits of the White Bones" as a Women’s Day gift. She even comforted her when the old man had "Twilight Syndrome". mood.
You Jingxiu and Xiong's mother-in-law took a photo at 9 o'clock in the morning. At 9 o'clock in the morning, the members of the ninth batch of Sichuan Aid Hubei medical team on duty gave female patients in the ward with gifts such as daily necessities to celebrate the holiday together. When You Jingxiu handed out the gift to the 30-bed patient, Granny Xiong, Granny Xiong directly refused, saying, “It’s not necessary.”
“Mother Xiong is 101 years old and suffers from Alzheimer’s disease. Take care of her like a child, so she is used to her being honest." You Jingxiu said with a smile. She usually has to give Granny Xiong an injection, draw blood, feed, and wait for her to urinate. Sometimes the elderly are unwilling to cooperate. She is like coaxing. Like children, they have to take out the cartoons they drew and hold them in their hands. They also need to take out their mobile phones to let them video with their family members. "I will give her a thumbs up when it's done, and praise her for her good performance, so cute!"
You Jingxiu told Red Star News that she has been in the ward for 18 days and has formed a deep friendship with Granny Xiong, and the elderly can even distinguish her voice.
On the evening of the 8th, when You Jingxiu was about to hand over, Granny Xiong was crying for her son. "I immediately realized that the'sunset phenomenon' of Mrs. Xiong had reappeared." You Jingxiu said. One week after she came to Wuchang Hospital, she observed that Mrs. Xiong was often easily emotional around the evening, so she immediately contacted her city of Mianyang. The psychiatrist of the Third People’s Hospital got in touch. The psychiatrist told her that some patients with Alzheimer’s disease would be emotionally restless in the evening or at night, such as restlessness, walking around, yelling or hallucinations. And so on, this phenomenon is called "dusk syndrome", also called "sunset phenomenon", the point of care is to fully calm the patient's emotions.
"The first thing I thought of was to let her and her family make a video, but the video was never answered by anyone, so I had an idea, it's better to tell a story to Mrs. Xiong." You Jingxiu said, she wanted to tell a story with a sense of time. It is also an interesting story that suits the current level of intelligence of Granny Xiong, so she chose "Three Beats of the Bone Spirit". With the in-depth development of the plot, Mrs. Xiong became quieter and quieter, as if she had entered the plot. After the story was finished, the old man gave a thumbs-up and complimented him. Seeing Granny Xiong calmly starting to eat, You Jingxiu was relieved to go to get off work.
It is understood that You Jingxiu and other nurses from Mianyang are caring for more than 30 patients in the critically ill area A of Wuchang Hospital. Several of them cannot take care of themselves. In addition to medical care, they also need to feed, give medicine, turn over, and wait for urine. , And the 101-year-old mother-in-law Xiong is the most serious one. She and her colleague, Zhang Lingling, a nurse at the Gastroenterology Department of the Third People’s Hospital of Mianyang City, are the key nursing targets.
You Jingxiu said that although the work intensity is not small, the face will be deeply pressed by goggles, masks, and hats every day, but it is the greatest comfort to see that the patients are getting better every day.
