ReplyDeleteI´m so glad we all think the same - a day without a laughter is a day of sorrow... AND a day with laughter will spread like a virus - quickley and very catching!
ReplyDeleteDo you feel that there is a special professional culture in health care that you can describe?
ReplyDeleteHmm.. Hi Kerstin! I wouldn´t say culture but approch towards caretakers, compared to other jobs. I wish for a better culture and more sensible and aware approch moral then what you find sometimes, I´m sorry to say. Some a r e very professional and have a high standard of ethics, but not all. I ask my students now and then; Do you whant to meet yourself, if you or your dear ones were ill? How about you? Have you an answer to your question?
DeleteHi Kerstin, I think the question of a professional culture in the health care field is very interesting because we talk to students about their beliefs and values about people and how important they are. We talk about the importance of learning to have 'unconditional positive regard' for people if you want to be an effective worker in this field. Carl Rogers introduced this idea many years ago and it is still a useful concept to consider for human services. Students find it challenging but interesting.
DeleteHi there again!
DeleteSooo interesting! I must have mist this line from Carl Rogers; or there is an other translation/expression that doesn´t "speek to me" as much as the real thing "unconditional positive regard' I´ll take that to heart and I´ll have a discussion with my pupils shortley - it will be very interesting - thank you!
It is an important feature to be able to spread the joy!
ReplyDeleteDo you think it´s possible, in the situation when we work with people that got a for exampel, canser?
