What do you mainly do as a volunteer in a hospital?

Because the hospital serves patients, and some of the patients have special needs, such as: the elderly, frail and disabled in the outpatient clinic, including patients who are unfamiliar with the environment; those who are in bad mood and particularly lonely in the ward of patients. Therefore, it is required that hospital volunteers must have a healthy body, good psychological quality and certain moral standards. Therefore, full-time staff must conduct interviews and screening of applicants to understand the applicants' study and work process, social experience and physical condition. After determining that they are suitable for the role of hospital volunteers, and based on their own hobbies and expertise, they will help determine whether to become an escort or an escort. Visitors are still mutual aid volunteers, and they determine their own service hours, which fully reflects the voluntariness and autonomy of volunteer services.

Work content of volunteer services

1. Daily work. We divide volunteers into three categories: escort volunteers, visiting volunteers and patients’ mutual aid group volunteers. In outpatient clinics, escort volunteers queue up for registration, examination, payment, and medicine collection for elderly, frail and mobility-impaired patients. They also guide patients who are unfamiliar with the hospital environment and even accompany them throughout the entire process. In the ward, visiting volunteers are divided into three groups: routine visits, targeted visits, and special visits. Routine visits are mainly to greet and care about the patients, and wish the patients a speedy recovery; targeted visits are mainly composed of volunteers who have been patients, and mainly introduce to the patients their illness experiences, feelings and healing process, and serve as a personal account. , encourage patients to build up their confidence; special visits are mainly for some patients who are depressed and particularly low-spirited. Multiple return visits can be provided to provide psychological counseling, explanation, and comfort, so that they can gradually build up the confidence and courage to fight against the disease and actively cooperate with doctors. Treatment, among which the sources of special visiting patients are mainly referrals from regular visiting and targeted visiting volunteers and their medical staff. Group volunteers participate in group activities composed of similar patients organized by the Social Work Department to improve patients' ability to help themselves and each other.
