October 10 is World Mental Health Day . At Qianjiang Evening News·Hours Health Station and Nanxing Street Community Health Service Center in Shangcheng District, Hangzhou, there is a special ward - a psychiatric ward. As the only district-level comprehensive mental health service in the city, the longest patient living here has been more than 30 years.
Zheng Guilan cuts nails for patients
"The patients living in this mental ward mainly include schizophrenia and depression . If calculated using 'long-term service', some of the patients who live here have been on duty for more than 30 years, and the lowest seniority is still 3 years." said Zheng Guilan, head nurse of the ward.
In the ward, there is a schizophrenia patient who lived in 36 years ago. He is usually timid, speaks quietly, and repeats his movements, but he likes to read and copy. Sometimes he often stands quietly at the window alone, as if there is a poem and a distance in his heart.
In the ward, he also took the initiative to help medical staff copy some simple treatment sheets. People in the department often call him "screws with rust", but this is such a person. Every time he is discharged from the hospital and goes home, he feels anxious and uneasy. The condition occurs, and his family has no choice but to send it back.
patient Lin lived in the mental ward of Nanxing Central for 28 years and was 74 years old when he died. Lin lost his parents early. When he was in his 40s, he suffered from schizophrenia. No relative in his family could take care of him. In desperation, the unit had to entrust him to the mental ward of Nanxing Center. He spent the rest of his life under the care of the medical staff here.
Zheng Guilan is one of the medical staff who witnessed the development of mental wards. More than 30 years have passed. She is deeply touched by watching the patients here go back and forth, some are cured and returned to society, some are here for the rest of their lives, and some are gone out and live back.
Check rounds every day, sort out cases, feed medicine, and get food... This is the daily daily work of medical staff in the ward.
"This is not just a job, but a career that injects emotions." Zheng Guilan said that in order to enable patients to be independent and strive to live like normal people, the medical staff in the ward have thought of many ways. Based on years of clinical experience, they have worked together to formulate a rehabilitation plan that suits the patients themselves, regular daily routines, certain time of self-management, essential exercise and various activities carried out during holidays.
Slowly, doctors and patients have also established mutual trust. Rather than saying that this is their "big family".
"Maybe every one of them is also a 'child from the stars'. In their world, they are very happy, and may also be sad, and their world is also rich and colorful." Zheng Guilan said.
