What can be done to help staff work with patients in such a way that patients' psychological functioning can be maintained at a high level? What suggestions can be given to help staff members support the patient's self-esteem and thus enhance the self-image? Those who work directly with patients in a nursing home have chosen this work because they care about persons and about their comfort. These motivations plus continued awareness of the patient's perceptions, feelings, and attitudes will enable more patients to be psychologically supported while they live in a health care facility. It is hoped that as we go about seeking to facilitate the patient's return to health, we might also be aware of the needs of the staff, for only as they have their own needs fulfilled can they serve another.
怎样做才能帮助工作人员与患者互动，从而使患者的心理功能保持在较高水平？可以给出哪些建议来帮助工作人员维护患者的自尊，进而提升其自我形象？那些在养老院直接与患者打交道的人选择这项工作是因为他们关心他人及其舒适度。这些动机，再加上持续关注患者的认知、感受和态度，将使更多患者在医疗机构生活期间能得到心理支持。希望在我们努力促使患者康复的同时，也能意识到工作人员的需求，因为只有当他们自身的需求得到满足时，才能服务他人。
