Pandemic has affected me by making me realize how far my ate and father are from us that if they get sick or even die, i wont be able to hug or see them whole again. It also affected me by the circumstances of i being reserved to serve the noncovid areas, making me feel not doing my job and desire to help those with covid. It affected my sleeping pattern, im awake til morning and i wake up late and not being able to do the tasks ahead of time. The change in roles and duty assignments had affected our stability as well.
Yes. i asked for a spiritual direction, spiritual gathering and yes I scheduled for a consult with Circle of Hope.
Self-care is valuable as healthcare worker because it brings comfort and peace and makes you be able to care for others again. For me it should be included in the work-place's schedule or objectives, it shouldn't be something to be asked of. The care for self and others, should be promoted up to the point that it becomes a habit.
