You've heard the phrase "Attitude is Everything?" Well it couldn't be more true in the health care field. Your attitude and emotional state will certainly affect your job performance and can have an immediate effect on your health.
We all live and work in a busy, stressful world. Often we are affected by problems with patients, staff workers, or even our own personal and private issues. We do our best not to verbalize these on the job.
"Actions Speak Louder the Words." Many think that because they are silent about their issues, that all is well. Then they may take out their frustrations through their actions by rushing or hurrying transfers. And during a busy day of moving patients this could mean you put yourself at an extremely high risk of injuring yourself or your patients.
A bad attitude is not only unprofessional, it can be down right dangerous to everyone involved. Being angry or upset at work causes one to make poor decisions. And poor decisions lead to injury. Remember, just 1 poor decision could potentially cause a life-long debilitating injury.
Problem: Bad Attitudes Causes Injury
Solution: Slow down and think about the patient and their needs. Imagine the patient as your favorite family member.
Lift Your Spirits, then Lift Your Patient!
