In December, near the Jiaozai Village Committee of Danchang Town, Dianbai District, the construction of the new campus of Dianbai District Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Center is in full swing. This year's government work report mentioned that it is necessary to deepen the reform of public hospitals and fill in the shortcomings in services such as malpractice, mental health, and geriatric medicine. As a key project for Dianbai District to fill the gaps in medical services, the new campus of the Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Center is expected to be completed in September 2025. At that time, better facilities and services will be provided for clinical medical treatment and prevention in three major departments: tuberculosis , dermatological and venereal diseases, and psychiatric diseases.
As a mental health prevention and control management agency in Dianbai District, in recent years, the Dianbai District Chronic Disease Control Center has continuously explored non-drug therapy for mental diseases in addition to drug treatment. By promoting various physical therapy and industrial recreational therapy, it not only greatly enriches the hospital life of hospitalized patients, but also effectively assists patients in restoring cognitive and social functions, helping patients cure their "spiritual colds" as soon as possible.
To treat diseases, we must also treat "heart"
One horizontal and one vertical, one stroke, one stroke, one stroke, one hook... Where the stroke is put, there are Chinese characters of different shapes. In the female ward of the psychiatric department of Dianbai District Chronic Disease Prevention and Treatment Center, medical staff are splashing ink with the patients on the same stage. In their writings, calligraphy and painting works with their own characteristics were created one by one.
This is a leisure activity to pass the time and a treatment. "Let the spirit bathe in the sun and give the soul a sky." After writing the patient Wen Hui (pseudonym), he happily raised his calligraphy works to share with the people next to him.
"Portraits and painting are a nonverbal psychological treatment. Through intervention of calligraphy and painting, patients can calm down to stabilize and regulate emotions, change their cognition, thinking, and behavioral abilities, enhance their will and self-confidence, promote restoration of self-awareness, and eliminate negative emotions." said Dai Guanjian, director of the Department of Psychiatry.
Some mental disorder patients can effectively control the condition through medication. "To speed up the restoration of cognitive abilities and social functions, more means are needed." Dai Guanjian has been in the mental health industry for more than 20 years. She believes that patients with mental disorders need to be treated and also treat their "heart".
In the past two years, the Psychiatric Department of the Dianbai District Chronic Disease Prevention and Treatment Center has continuously explored non-drug therapy for mental diseases, non-verbal psychotherapy and other therapies focusing on humanistic care have played an increasingly important role.
Let the patient stand blindfolded, hold a wooden stick in his hand, and look for the position of the drum to ring it. This is conducive to exercising the patient's hearing, touch, body control and perceived ability of the surrounding space.
In the ward, medical staff organized patients to dance aerobics together. Under the cheerful and pleasant rhythm, when the body moves, the bad emotions are slowly left behind.
"Happy birthday, happy birthday..." When the patient celebrated his birthday, a birthday party was organized in the ward, and medical staff and patients sang birthday songs with their patients to send birthday wishes; while taking advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, the ward organized a wealth of party activities and leisure games, doctors and patients played on the same stage and performed on the same stage, so that patients could feel caring and caring.
"Exercise and entertainment activities can promote the secretion of happy hormones in the cerebral cortex, make people feel comfortable, and thus divert the patient's attention, release stress, and vent bad emotions. This is very beneficial for the patient's recovery." Dai Guanjian said, "For patients, love and care are also a medicine."
patients become dormitory directors and safety officers
Most of the public lack scientific understanding of patients with mental disorders, and have discrimination and prejudice. Therefore, for patients with mental disorders, returning to the family and society is the most difficult hurdle. Family may be able to embrace with love, but the lack of social skills is often the biggest problem that hinders its integration into society.
For this reason, the Psychiatric Department of Dianbai District Chronic Disease Prevention and Treatment Center has also made some explorations. "We regard the ward as a small society and try to create some environment from it that helps patients restore social functions," said Dai Guanjian.
One of their measures is to set up dormitory directors and floor safety officers in the ward, and all candidates are selected from the patients.
A dormitory director is responsible for the sanitation management of several hospital beds.Xinsheng (pseudonym) is a dormitory director in the female district. After getting up every day, she not only has to fold her own quilt, but also has to supervise and help her "room friends" to do a good job in hygiene management. Since the beginning, Xinsheng has been a little busy, but now, Xinsheng has been able to fold his quilts with edges and corners, and has the spare time to help his "roommates" tidy up his mattress.
Safety officers should assist medical staff in carrying out order management work on the entire floor. When abnormal situations such as patient condition changes, personnel conflicts occur on the floor, the safety officer must promptly assist in handling it, or report it to the medical staff for handling.
"After patients have their own job positions, they can help them establish good living habits, and provide them with opportunities to show their social abilities and reflect their own value, which will help promote the recovery of patients' social functions." Li Guanqiang, director of the Dianbai District Chronic Disease Prevention and Treatment Center, introduced that for patients with outstanding "work" performance, the center will also reward some vouchers to purchase the goods they want.
"Patients with mental disorders are special vulnerable groups and need care, understanding and acceptance from all walks of life to return to society smoothly." Li Guanqiang said that for patients, the Dianbai District Chronic Disease Prevention and Treatment Center insists on paying equal attention to medical quality and humanistic care. In addition to drug treatment, we actively promote various physical therapy and work recreational therapy to give patients warm humanistic care, help them cultivate a positive and optimistic attitude, increase social communication and work skills training, and promote cognitive and social functions rehabilitation, so as to help patients realize their desire to return to society and family as soon as possible.
