Patient care skills: The 2025 standards for professional caregivers.

Patient care skills không chỉ đơn thuần là biết tắm rửa, thay tã hay nấu cháo. Đây là một công việc đòi hỏi chuyên môn cao, tương đương một nghề bán y khoa. Năm 2025, thị trường đã có những tiêu chuẩn mới, đòi hỏi người chăm sóc không chỉ “biết làm” mà phải thành thạo về kỹ thuật, an toàn, có trí tuệ cảm xúc (EQ) và sự tận tâm. Bài viết này sẽ tổng hợp bộ tiêu chuẩn 2025 mà SAN đang áp dụng, giúp gia đình chọn được người caring for the sick most suitable and professional.

1. Medical-grade hygiene and skincare skills

Patients who are bedridden for extended periods are prone to skin problems such as pressure ulcers, dermatitis, diaper rash, and irritation in sensitive areas. Therefore, professional caregivers must possess the following essential skills:

• Perform bathing and showering in bed following the standard 9-step medical procedure.
• Cleanse each area of the body gently, without causing pain.
• Keep the patient's skin dry and clean to prevent bacterial infection.
• Prevention of pressure ulcers at levels 1 and 2.
• Change diapers using the correct technique, without causing abrasions.
• Regularly observe areas of skin that are unusually red or hot.

2. Feeding assistance skills – Preventing choking and gagging

Patients with weakened health often have difficulty eating, are prone to choking or gagging, or skip meals. Standard caregiver skills include:

• Position the patient correctly at a 90-degree angle while eating.
• Give the child water in small, slow sips, using the correct technique.
• Carefully observe the patient's throat and breathing pattern throughout the meal.
• Monitor and record the amount of food and drink consumed.
• Immediately notify your family if you notice any risk of choking or suffocation.

3. Safe moving and lifting skills

This is one of the most important skills for preventing dangerous accidents such as falls, dislocations, injuries, or bruises.. Kỹ năng nâng đỡ chuẩn của SAN yêu cầu:

• Always support the patient from the weaker side.
• Maintain your balance while moving.
• Lead the way with slow, synchronized steps.
• Turn the patient over in bed using the correct technique to avoid injury.
• Assisting with toileting and safely transferring from bed to wheelchair.

4. Monitor medication and vital signs.

Professional caregivers should be an "extension" of the family's arm in monitoring health. This includes:

• Remind yourself to take your medication on time and at the correct dosage as prescribed by your doctor.
• Observe your body's reactions after taking the medication.
• Monitor basic vital signs: pulse, respiratory rate, and complexion.
• Early detection of abnormal signs such as pale skin, dry lips, trembling, and difficulty breathing.

5. Mental Health Care – Emotional Intelligence (EQ)

Patients often experience anxiety, feelings of inadequacy, and fear of becoming a burden. Therefore, the emotional intelligence (EQ) of a caregiver is just as important as their technical skills. A person with high EQ will:

• Communicate gently and calmly.
• Do not force or argue with the patient.
• Know how to reassure and comfort a patient when they are in pain or anxious.
• Listen sincerely, without judgment.

Đây là lý do SAN luôn đưa EQ và tâm lý vào module đào tạo bắt buộc, đặc biệt trong dịch vụ caring for the elderly.

A good caregiver is not only professionally competent but also knows how to behave appropriately within the family's culture. This is demonstrated through:

• Always respect your family members.
• Don't pry into private matters.
• Do not change the position of the furniture without permission.
• The work report is clear and honest.
• Maintain a positive attitude and avoid frowning while working.

This is the "family culture" module that is always emphasized in employee training. housemaid và chăm sóc tại SAN.
