In general – and those who work in special people in the care and care of people are good – good to be seen in professional and human existence. Perception enables sympathy and sympathy of social participation and recognition.
The challenges that we stand in front of as an aging society fill more than a day. The service should be fulfilling for the top performers and efficient for the cost bearers. Oh yes and dignified for those who take care. This dignity is not negotiable, the framework conditions already. Care is always a work in gaps.
Between requirement profiles and overload scenarios
Every profession, and thus also care, has its inherent requirements, which result from qualification requirements and labor content. Services during the night at times when others have free are stressful, but are part of the requirement profile and can therefore neither be avoided nor “discussed away”. Questions such as whether the roster keeps up to when overtime has ever been dismantled or vacation is still sufficient for relaxation, about the overload scenarios that need to be avoided. “”If we today have personal and political debates about the severity of care, we have to ask ourselves both questions: The requirement or competence profiles correspond to everyday realities And how can overload scenarios be exhausted. Or to put it differently: If care is still to be perceived as meaningful and fulfilling, what are the empty and exhaustive factors and tasks that we have to solve from
”Says Jakob Kabas, President of the Life Worlds Heim Bundesverband.
Between artificial intelligence and social competence
„Each technology brings with it its own negativity, which is invented at the same time as technical progress
”Says the French philosopher and media critic Paul Virilio. This also applies to the AI in their possibilities to further develop the work in nursing. The independent decision and action remains in the hands of the people acting. The technology is able to accelerate decision -making processes and to expand the horizon of the possible. „The transience like the vulnerability of humans needs human counterpart so that man in the algorithms of zero and one does not become zero
“, Said President Kabas.
Between the deficit business and efficiency gain
If the maintenance is no longer payable in its current design, for public households, for service providers, employees and supervised when it has become a financial and human deficit business, then the search and implementation of opportunities to reduce the effort is needed. It is about the question of how I can strengthen the core tasks, maintain and look after, in which I optimize processes and processes in particular in the supply services such as catering, hygiene, occupational safety or facility management. The simple question: what can I do well and what can others do better?
Between the justice of pension and distribution equality
District and country, governments work on the reform of the care system, currently more out of financial hardship than from socio -political virtue. The central socio -political question is: where do people want to be cared for and looked after and what is needed. The two important questions that need to be solved to solve health are that of the availability of supply offers, for example, centrally or nationwide, and those according to the distribution principles, for example, the access criteria. Kabas: “Everything for everyone or nothing for nobody are the principles between which we often move in Austria. Differentiation means looking closely, listening, feeling in. Gray zones in supply as in the distribution must not become a political comfort zone.
“
Examples of this are the group of Young Carers or the often inadequate distinction between care and support. “”Freedom of choice needs more market transparency, because if you have the choice, you should have the quality and not the agony
“, Adds Kabas.
Between minimal demands and megatrends
If we cannot afford the maximum variant, then the definition of binding minimum standards is needed, but To which everyone – including those who finance the services – are committed. We live in a complex world that can not only be explained and designed in simple cause and effect chains. According to the definition of the German Future Institute, Megatrends are drivers of change. They influence society in a medium to long perspective. One of them is demographic change, other examples are health, security, knowledge culture or urbanization. Even if the technology increases the pace here, it is still about a step -by -step change, continuous adaptation, the acceptance of uncertainties. “”It is about gradually designing transitions in old age and the need for care. A different feeling is needed because the lives of older and needy people are clocked differently
“The President of the Federal Association concludes from this.
Between the melancholy of the farewell and the melody of the arrival
Thomas Bernhard once wrote that he always wanted to be somewhere else than he was, but that he was happy on the way between the places. Perhaps the melody of the arrival sounds in this melancholy of leaving. “”Nursing is also working in gaps in the old. Between remembering and forgetting, between fear and confidence, between vulnerability and healing, between pain and relief, between life and dying. There are also ways of being happy, for each other and together, a melody of arrival, with themselves and among the people who are entrusted to you. Care remains sensible and meaningful. Thank you all full-time and voluntary college: inside who are on the way!
“So the summary for the day of nursing.
The Bundesverband Lebenswunde Home has represented the interests of approximately 650 old people’s and nursing homes since 1994 and, regardless of the sponsor, and thus around 40,000 nurses across Austria. At European level, he is a member of the European Aging Network (EAN).
