Working from home and tired of nursing care ... Consultation without holding alone New Corona May 30 5:44

Even after canceling the emergency declaration, organizations supporting home caregivers have been consulted regarding the increase in caregiver fatigue associated with working from home and the problems associated with balancing work and care, and the groups themselves We encourage you to consult with a nursing care professional or support organization without holding it alone.

The Caregiver Mental Care Association, which is represented by a woman who is a physical therapist who has been caring for a family with dementia and disabilities for more than 20 years, accepts consultations from people who are suffering from nursing care by e-mail.

At the beginning of the emergency declaration issued by the association, I was asked to refrain from using nursing care services at my discretion because I was afraid of an infection, but I was continuously asked if it was okay. As a result, consultations about caregiver fatigue became conspicuous, such as increased time spent with mothers with dementia and burdens, and decreased physical activity of family members due to reduced opportunities to go out, etc. ..

Also, after the declaration of an emergency situation, the number of consultations is increasing, such as the inability to use day-services and the disruption of life rhythm, and the anxiety about whether to be able to balance work and nursing after returning to normal work.

It is important for the association to use the available nursing care services as much as possible and, if the operation of the nursing care service office is not restored, to communicate the situation to the workplace so that they can understand it. If you are unable to consult, we ask that you contact a support organization.

Kyoko Hashinaka, representative of the Caregiver Mental Care Association, said, “Many of the counselors are busy with their care managers and their workplaces are fluttering. The more serious people are, the more they tend to think of themselves before consulting with them, but I would like you to consult them first, including "I don't know what to do."
