Associa\u00e7\u00e3o de Enfermeiras Visitantes de Southcoast (VNA)<\/a>A VNA de Southcoast \u00e9 uma organiza\u00e7\u00e3o de apoio ao paciente, que determina o que os pacientes precisam enquanto se recuperam em suas casas ap\u00f3s uma cirurgia, doen\u00e7a grave ou ferimentos. O Southcoast VNA fornece uma ampla gama de servi\u00e7os, incluindo tratamento de feridas, ensinando os pacientes a controlar a diabetes ou a insufici\u00eancia card\u00edaca congestiva e adquirindo equipamentos m\u00e9dicos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"Quando estava no St. Luke's, adorava\", diz ela. Luke's, adorava\", afirma. \"Mas no ambiente atarefado do hospital, nem sempre sentia o impacto que tinha nos cuidados prestados \u00e0s pessoas.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nos seus sete anos com o VNA, passou a apreciar o tempo mais calmo e individual que tem com os doentes e a oportunidade de recolher uma grande quantidade de informa\u00e7\u00f5es do seu ambiente dom\u00e9stico sobre os cuidados de que necessitam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Adrianna pode organizar visitas de enfermagem, terapia f\u00edsica, ocupacional e da fala, servi\u00e7os de assist\u00eancia social e assist\u00eancia m\u00e9dica ao domic\u00edlio, consoante as necessidades do doente. Por vezes, chega a um lar \u00e0 espera de uma admiss\u00e3o simples, mas descobre que a situa\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e9 mais complicada do que inicialmente previsto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talvez o doente n\u00e3o possa fazer as tarefas dom\u00e9sticas, as compras de supermercado e outras tarefas e n\u00e3o haja familiares por perto para o ajudar. Pode precisar de uma casa de banho mais acess\u00edvel, de uma cadeira de rodas ou de outro equipamento. Por vezes, os doentes n\u00e3o podem pagar os medicamentos receitados, mas t\u00eam relut\u00e2ncia em diz\u00ea-lo ao seu m\u00e9dico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nesses casos, Adrianna encaminha os doentes para os Coastline Elderly Services, o Council on Aging local ou outros servi\u00e7os, e transmite a informa\u00e7\u00e3o ao m\u00e9dico. O objetivo \u00e9 fazer com que as pessoas melhorem e fiquem mais fortes, e prevenir a ocorr\u00eancia de problemas, diz ela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cerca de dois ter\u00e7os dos pacientes do VNA s\u00e3o pessoas idosas que dependem dos servi\u00e7os para permanecerem nas suas casas. Outros s\u00e3o pessoas mais jovens que sofreram ferimentos num acidente de via\u00e7\u00e3o, sofrem de uma doen\u00e7a cr\u00f3nica que precisam de ajuda para gerir, ou necessitam de cuidados com feridas ou de servi\u00e7os de sa\u00fade materno-infantil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Se puder ficar em casa e receber os cuidados de que necessita, pode ser muito melhor do que estar numa institui\u00e7\u00e3o\", diz ela. \"O estado de esp\u00edrito dos doentes \u00e9 mais elevado, podem dormir na sua pr\u00f3pria cama e tudo lhes \u00e9 familiar.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adrianna, residente em Fairhaven, passa o seu tempo livre a tricotar no inverno, a ser uma \"vagabunda de praia\" no ver\u00e3o e a fazer caminhadas e jardinagem com o marido. Como enfermeira, sente-se profundamente satisfeita com as rela\u00e7\u00f5es que estabelece com os doentes e as suas fam\u00edlias. Ainda tem not\u00edcias de alguns durante as f\u00e9rias e, mais do que uma vez, foi ao funeral de um antigo doente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"N\u00e3o se pode deixar de criar la\u00e7os\", diz ela. \"Quando eu era uma enfermeira mais nova, tinha a impress\u00e3o de que as pessoas iam para o VNA para se reformarem e nada podia estar mais longe da verdade. \u00c9 uma experi\u00eancia muito pessoal, de cuidados de sa\u00fade, que ajuda tantas pessoas, de tantas formas. Sinto que estou a contribuir para um bem maior.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
