Annual Caregiver Resource Day

June 20 marks the Annual Caregiver Resource Day at the SCV SEnior Center. This is all about the question of who does support all the caregivers in their daily ordeals in their jobs at different fields and areas of work related situations.

Assistance is of utmost importance in this case as we know that caregiver jobs are almost like a 24-hour basis work. It's a tough job to do and it's a whole new different world for them and if there will never be an assistance, they too could possibly tire out.

June 20, 2009 will give time to caregivers with the help of Supportive Services Department of Santa Clarita Valley Senior Center as they provide a high time for working caregivers. They will launch a 4-hour symposium specifically pointed in addressing questions and at the same time give these people additional medical information they need as well as caregiving resources they can use.

The event will be at the Center's dining room from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Caregiver Resource Day will help attendees empower themselves with the latest in the caregiving industry.

Caring for Caregivers

“In today’s health care reality, caregivers are caring for much sicker and more complicated patients,” said Dr. Melissa Schepp, medical director of the palliative care program at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Atlanta. “We’re all being asked to do more with less time and fewer resources. I started to worry about how caregivers could keep their compassion.”

Knowing that compassionate care was integral to St. Joseph’s mission, Schepp began searching for a way to support caregivers. He turned to the Kenneth B. Schwartz Center at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

The center was founded by Schwartz in 1995, before his death from lung cancer at age 40.

“As skilled and knowledgeable as my caregivers are, what matters most is that they have empathized with me in a way that gives me hope and makes me feel like a human being, not just an illness,” Schwartz wrote in a Boston Globe magazine article in 1995.

The Schwartz Center fosters programs and research dedicated to strengthening relationships between patients and caregivers. One of those programs, Schwartz Center Rounds, is a multidisciplinary forum that allows caregivers to discuss emotional and social issues involved with patient care, with the goal of improving caregiver/patient relationships.

“We knew that it had been put in place in 160 hospitals, and a survey showed that people valued the method,” Schepp said. “We wanted a place for our caregivers to be able to explore and process the emotions that come from being at the bedside every day.

“After meeting with the program coordinator, we could see that this was a formula that worked.”

The format invites caregivers from all health care disciplines for breakfast or lunch and a discussion of the nonclinical issues involved in their jobs. The discussion is centered on one topic based on a specific, difficult case. The idea is that there are common themes to all tough cases and exploring them can help workers devise better strategies to handle similar circumstances in the future.

The first event was sponsored by St. Joseph’s palliative care, ethics and clinical pastoral care departments.

“We planned lunch for 50 and we had 70 people come, including nurses, physicians, case managers, social workers, pharmacists and physical therapists,” Schepp said. “We were really pleased by the response and that it was a good cross-section of disciplines.”

Marlene Kennedy-McKenzie, RN, a bedside nurse in the critical care unit, was a member of the panel that presented the case for the first 15 minutes of the program.

“At first, I was scared seeing all eyes on me, but when the doctor and the physical therapist joined me at the table, I relaxed and just talked about what happened,” she said. “I surprised myself and actually enjoyed the discussion. No one was pointing a finger at anyone. It was a learning experience.”

The 45-minute discussion afterward made Kennedy-McKenzie realize that she wasn’t the only worker who had felt angry and frustrated by the situation.

“Hearing others’ thoughts really helped you identify what you were going through and to see better ways to nip it in the bud if we come across this problem again,” she said.

What happens at the rounds, stays at the rounds, Schepp said.

“Caregivers get very close to their patients and families, and it can lead to a lot of stress,” she said. “They need a private and safe place to process their feelings and remember why they went into health care.”

Schepp believes the multidisciplinary forum will encourage teamwork, help decrease workers’ sense of isolation and let them see problems from different perspectives.

“This is a wonderful program that fills a gap,” she said. “It gives recognition to people who are doing hard work at the bedside and gives them a place to be heard. There is power in that.”

Jobs in caregiving are still surviving

The nation's unemployment rate hit 7.6 percent in January. With each passing day more layoffs are announced, resulting in more Americans looking for work in a time when many companies are not adding to their work forces.

One profession that seems to be exempt from the current employment downturn is home care. The occupation of caregiving is forecasted as the second fastest growing job group in the nation over the next decade. Very soon the work force demand may outpace the supply. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in California the home care aide job category is expected to increase from 284,200 jobs in 2006 to 361,100 positions in 2016, a projected 27 percent increase.

Compare that to the 65 and older population in the state, which is projected to increase to 8.3 million by 2030, and obviously society could have a caregiving crisis in the years to come.

To be a caregiver in the industry a person must enjoy working with and helping seniors remain in their homes. Caregiving duties can include such things as meal preparation, light housekeeping, running errands and socialization, all of which bring happiness to the senior and peace of mind to family members.

Professional caregiving provides a flexible part-time option for additional income or a new career in a fulfilling job field. Anyone thinking about a caregiving career is invited to visit www.heartofacaregiver.com, where they will find important information about the industry and a self-assessment tool that will help them gauge whether this would be a good fit for their skills and interests.
