In my current position as the Senior Social Worker / Acting Caregiver Support Coordinator, I am tasked with completing initial assessments that determine whether or not Veterans and their identified Caregivers meet criteria for the stipend program. For those Veterans already in our program with Caregivers who receive stipends, I focus on determining whether or not they continue to meet criteria for the program and if the level of care provided by the Caregiver has changed or remains the same.

Over this summer, I realised that every seconds count and there are moments where it is going to be really hard. Concerning my time management, I plan to classify each of my daily activities into 4 different categories which are the following: “Important and Urgent”, “Important but Not Urgent”, “Not Important and Not Urgent”, “Not Important but Urgent”.

Arnold and Boggs defines caring as “an intentional human action characterized by commitment and a sufficient level of knowledge and skill to allow you to support the basic integrity” of the client (2014). In other words, caring is a sincere act performed by a nurse or anyone who contains the ability to do those actions. Swanson states that caring, in terms of nursing, consist of five components; knowing, being with, doing for, enabling, and maintaining belief (Smith 2012). Knowing it about being open-minded and trying to understand a situation from the client’s point of view. Being with is simply just being present for the client and making him/she not feel alone. Doing for is advocating, basically doing what the client would have done if he/she could have done it. Enabling is to encourage the client to try to return to their normal self and be as independent as possible. Maintaining belief is trying to keep the client’s confidence and hope alive while he/she is trying to go through the situation. These components help a nurse to provide a quality sense of caring to a patient. Caring is essential especially to someone in need because human beings are social beings that need the support

Since I cannot usually control when that will happen, it’s important that I take advantage of what I can control, such looking ahead at assignments that will need my attention to plan adequate time to complete assignments a head of time, instead of waiting till the last minute. When I know what to expect I can make plans. Another

The patients require constant supervision, precise care and an extremely high level of patience, tolerance and skill.

Because of the adverse effects of this profession, the Theory of Caregiver Stress was developed to aid those working in this difficult profession.
