A caregiver or patient attendant is a healthcare professional who provides healthcare, care and support to sick individuals. A caregiver's duties vary depending on the patient's health status and needs. The jobs we generally expect from those who want to work as a patient caregiver are as follows.
The caregiver meets the basic needs of the patient. This includes tasks such as preparing meals, dressing, bathing, assisting with toileting needs, and making beds.
The caregiver regularly administers medications and administers medical treatments according to the instructions given by the patient's doctor. For example, dressing or measuring blood pressure.
The caregiver ensures the patient's personal hygiene. This may include tasks such as brushing teeth, nail care, hair care and skin cleansing.
The caregiver regularly monitors the patient's vital signs (pulse, blood pressure, body temperature) and reports any abnormal conditions.
For bedridden patients, the caregiver helps the patient move. This may include tasks such as getting out of bed, walking, or carrying someone to a wheelchair.
The caregiver meets the patient's meal needs and prepares meals to accommodate special diets or nutritional requirements when necessary.
The caregiver communicates with the patient's doctor or other healthcare professionals and takes the patient to medical appointments as needed.
In home care situations, the caregiver cleans and organizes the living space. This may include tasks such as cleaning the bedroom, bathroom and living area.
The caregiver supports the patient's emotional and psychological needs. Conversates, boosts morale, and meets the patient's social needs.
The caregiver provides regular reports on the patient's health status and daily activities. These reports are important for doctors or family members.
The conditions required to become a caregiver may vary depending on the country you will work in and the family you will stay in. However, in general, we are looking for the following conditions and requirements to become a patient caregiver.
Some areas may require a certain level of training for caregivers. It may be necessary to attend training or certification programs in patient care or healthcare fields. These programs teach patient care techniques, medical procedures, and ethics.
You may be required to undergo a medical examination before working as a caregiver. This helps prevent the detection of infectious diseases and reduces the risk of harm to the health of sick or elderly individuals.
The caregiver must have basic medical knowledge and skills. This may include the ability to administer medications regularly, perform dressings, and take basic health measurements (pulse, blood pressure, body temperature).
The caregiver must have the ability to communicate effectively with patients and family members. Empathy, patience and understanding are important.
The caregiver must ensure the patients' personal hygiene and be careful about cleanliness.
The caregiver may sometimes engage in physical activities that require moving or assisting patients. Physical endurance and strength are important.
Our clients ask caregivers for references about their previous work. This is important to demonstrate the caregiver's reliability and abilities.
In some areas, they expect caregivers to have a legal background and a clean record. People with criminal records are not allowed to work in such positions.
