How to get your relatives to go on the last journey? Most citizens are “Mengchacha”
The Qingming Festival is approaching, and topics related to life are becoming hotter, and “hospice care” is becoming increasingly popular among Guangzhou citizens. When one day life is about to come to an end, everyone hopes to leave the world calmly and without regrets. However, a reporter from Xin Kuaibao recently visited and found that “hospice care” is still an unfamiliar word for most citizens. What exactly does it include? If this service is needed, which institutions can you ask for help? What is the demand in the city now? These are issues that citizens are concerned about. The reporter found that ordinary citizens know little about “hospice care”, and there are not many institutions in the city that can provide related services, and there are less than 1,000 death beds in the entire Guangzhou.
Data:
Nearly 1.5 million elderly people only have 672 death beds
Last year, Hao Yanping, a lecturer in the Department of Surgery Nursing, School of Nursing, Guangzhou Medical University, published an article “Survey on the Resources and Current Situation of Hospice Institutions in Guangzhou” in the monthly magazine “China Public Health”, and conducted a survey on 13 health institutions in Guangzhou that carry out hospice services in Yuexiu District, Liwan District, Haizhu District, Tianhe District, Panyu District and Baiyun District. The published data is touching.
The author mentioned in the article that according to data from the National Aging Commission, China entered a stage of rapid aging from 2015 to 2035, and the aging population will increase from 212 million to 418 million. The proportion will increase to 29%. The elderly population in Guangzhou exceeds 1.4753 million, and its growth rate is accelerating. As of the time of publication of the article, only 13 health institutions in Guangzhou have carried out hospice care services, with a total of 672 death beds, and their service coverage needs to be expanded urgently. In addition, relevant studies show that the matching between the number of hospice practitioners and patients in my country is extremely uneven, and the average nurse/bed ratio is only 0.25:1. This survey shows that nurses/beds are 0.3:1, which is a certain gap with Shanghai’s 0.35:1, and it is even bigger with Western developed countries.
Explanation:
Most medical staff in ordinary hospitals value “rescue” more. Why are hospice services so few? One of the important reasons is that citizens and even doctors and other professionals know very little about this. A reporter from Xin Kuaibao randomly interviewed some citizens, and almost none of them could explain what hospice care is, let alone what is hospice care.Know what kind of hospice services the hospital can provide.
Doctors with hospice care institutions introduced that the starting point of hospice care is very different from general treatment and rescue. For patients who do not have much hope of curing in clinical practice, the hospital will still rescue and treat patients under the premise of respecting the wishes of patients and their families. Most medical staff mainly consider saving lives, pay less attention to the deep needs of patients for comfort and dignity, and do not understand how to achieve good results. The doctor said that hospice services will start with many details. For example, patients who are bedridden for a long time are prone to pressure ulcers. The hospital has a standard process to deal with it, but it is not enough for dying patients. When the hospice services intervene, they will provide more detailed care for pressure ulcers to try to reduce the pain and embarrassment of the patients.
According to the survey by Hao Yanping and others, 2 of the 13 institutions in Guangzhou provide home-based care and inpatient care services, while the rest are inpatient care services. The end-of-life nursing is mainly psychological nursing and re-training. Among them, 12 institutions provide psychological support and psychological counseling services, accounting for 92.3%, and other psychological nursing interventions such as cognitive therapy, behavioral correction and music therapy, accounting for 23.3% each; 11 institutions provide eating training, 9 provide changing clothes and personal hygiene training, 8 provide excretion function training, 6 provide walking training, 5 provide wheelchair training, and 4 provide respiratory function training.
In the interview with Xin Kuaibao reporter, all the ordinary citizens interviewed had little understanding of such services. This can explain that when citizens themselves or their families need hospice care services, they don’t know where to go to find relevant institutions. Correspondingly, most hospitals do not have corresponding departments in providing hospice care services. The reporter recently visited the outpatient emergency department of a Grade A hospital in the city. Many doctors bluntly said that they did not know how to provide hospice services, and they did not know where there are professional institutions in the city for referrals.

Football team coach visits the little boy CinemaRealize his dreams
When life reaches the end, is hospice still meaningful? A reporter from Xin Kuaibao visited and found that the answer was yes. It can not only relieve the pain of severely ill patients, but also bring them spiritual comfort, and the glory of human nature often flashes in the process.
”There is a child who is about the same age as my son. His parents have lost all their money to treat him.” Talking about a small patient, Zeng Wenjie, head nurse of the Corning Department of Shiqiao Hospital in Panyu District, looked sad. She said that this severely ill boy named Xiaoxiao once made it difficult for her to get out of her grief. As Xiaoxiao’s life entered the countdown, Zeng Wenjie mobilized the whole family to prepare food for him, and took his son to chat and tell stories with Xiaoxiao, and listened to him blowing Hulusi… After learning that Xiaoxiao had a “football dream”, Zeng Wenjie and the volunteers from the Panyu Volunteer League tried every means to invite Li Zhangzhu, who was then the head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande Football Team. Li Zhangzhu sent Xiaoxiao the football and jerseys signed by the players of the team, and Xiaoxiao used Hulusi, who was best at, to play a song “Da Jang Geum” for Li Zhangzhu with difficulty. Two days after the visit, Xiaoxiao passed away with a smile. Komiks
”We advocate letting life enjoy the last ray of sunshine. Patients are not ‘waiting to die’ when the end of their lives is approaching.” Zeng Wenjie said that this is the common concept of doctors and nurses of Corningko.
