What is the Complex Nursing Department and What Do They Do?

Complex nursing is a specialized area within the healthcare system, dedicated to providing care for patients with severe and multi-system health issues. It includes a team of highly trained nurses skilled in managing complex health conditions, requiring advanced knowledge in handling the intricacies of serious medical cases.

The purpose of complex nursing is to equip healthcare professionals with the skills and knowledge necessary to provide continuous and essential care for patients facing extreme health challenges. The work involves close monitoring, coordination, and a profound understanding of modern medical practices to ensure high-quality care for these patients.

In the field of complex nursing, professionals are expected to acquire a range of unique skills, foundational principles of nursing care, specialized techniques, and advanced tools for managing the needs of complex patients. These skills are necessary to treat patients with severe or unpredictable conditions, where complex nursing care requires advanced clinical skills and strategic planning tailored to the patients’ needs. The nursing team sometimes uses specialized medical equipment to address specific care requirements and to make critical decisions under challenging health conditions.

Additionally, complex care nurses must have high resilience in handling emergency situations and problem-solving. They often handle extreme situations without prior warning and must be prepared to adjust to match the patient’s needs for the best outcomes. They also work closely with other healthcare teams to ensure seamless integration of care, providing essential support to patients and their families.

To conclude, resilience and emotional endurance are essential for complex nursing, as it demands a high degree of emotional stability to provide consistent support in demanding circumstances.

The Patients

 

In the Complex Nursing Department, patients with chronic illnesses requiring constant nursing and medical supervision are hospitalized. This includes patients with advanced-stage wounds, respiratory patients with tracheostomy (cannula) who require oxygen for parts of the day, including respiratory secretion suction. Additionally, the department cares for oncology nursing patients, dialysis-dependent nursing patients, bedridden chronic patients requiring palliative care, and more.

Emotional support for family members also plays a significant role in this department, as sons and daughters of parents who were recently fully functional now face a challenging situation where their parent has become dependent on assistance. This situation creates a significant emotional burden that requires dedicated care.

Family Members

In this department, as in other departments, we place great importance on care that involves the family members accompanying the patients. Family members often experience significant stress when their loved ones enter a complex nursing situation. To enable them to provide the best possible support, they receive emotional support at Medical Care that enhances their emotional and mental resilience, allowing them to cope with the situation without collapsing under its weight.

We offer special programs for family members to help them strengthen and emotionally regulate themselves in the face of their loved one’s challenging condition, allowing them to continue being a supportive anchor. These programs include various workshops that provide tools for emotional coping and allow for the processing of individual experiences of hardship, as well as tailored individual emotional treatments.
