The Olympics are unique in that each person competes for more than 20 hours and is not a rival to his partner in a foreign language.
At 20:30 on October 23, exciting news came from Bordeaux, France: after 4 consecutive days of fierce competition, and 10 "simulated patients", Wu Yixin, a post-95 female teacher from the School of Nursing and Health Management of Shanghai Health Medical College, won a bronze medal in the "Health and Social Care" project of the 2022 WorldSkills Competition Special Competition on behalf of the Chinese team.
Jiefang Daily Shangguan News reporter learned that this is the second time that mainland athletes stand on the world competition field of the "health and social care" project, which is not only the first medal won by the mainland on the world stage of the project, but also the first medal event in the history of the world championship in which the mainland "language and skills go hand in hand", achieving a historic breakthrough.
In 2020, as an undergraduate student in nursing, Wu Yixin became the gold medalist of the first National Vocational Skills Competition
The WorldSkills Competition is known as the "World Skills Olympiad", held every two years, and its competitive level represents the world's advanced level of vocational skills development today. The 2022 WorldSkills Special Competition, which became an alternative to the 46th WorldSkills Competition in Shanghai 2022, was held in multiple regions from Germany to Japan. From October 19, the World Championship Special Tournament France Division will be held at the Bordeaux Exhibition Center in France.
It is reported that the contestants of the health and social care project come from 14 countries and regions, including China, Switzerland, Germany, France, India, Finland, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Spain, Hungary, South Africa, Croatia and Chinese Taipei. According to the assessment requirements of the World Championship, the contestants need to complete the nursing tasks of 4 modules of hospital, day care center, long-term care center and family, with a total of 10 cases and patients within 4 days, with a total of 16 tasks and a total working time of 21 hours. In these 4 competition days, Wu Yixin's 16 work tasks are relatively balanced, which are 4, 4, 5 and 3 respectively.
In fact, as early as the first stage assessment of the national team of health and social care projects in 2021, Wu Yixin won the first place to participate in the 2022 WorldSkills Competition Special Competition. On the basis of the preliminary training, in response to the questions announced by the competition, the preparation team composed of expert group leaders, experts and coaches carried out a 100-day sprint training, with the strong support of the lead base Shanghai Health Medical College and Henan Medical and Health Technician College, Chongqing Health Technical School, Shandong Medical Technician College and Heilongjiang Forestry and Health School, organized a high-intensity simulation assessment, and conducted online guidance and intensive training with experts and players from other countries, ready to go to France.
Wu Yixin arrived in Bordeaux five days before the race, and she quickly adjusted to her best condition to enter the competition. Wu Yixin on the field is skillful, warm and caring, with a bright smile and full of confidence... Faced with patients with postoperative wound pain, she used her professional skills to relieve the pain caused by the disease; In the face of a girl with Down syndrome who does not want her mother to leave home to work, she calms the girl's helpless anxiety with a sweet singing voice; In the face of a flight attendant who amputated her leg after a car accident, she gave her patients great strength with listening, understanding and support; In the face of Alzheimer's patients who cannot find their own room, she uses wisdom and warmth to help patients find the preciousness hidden in their hearts; In the face of patients with severe hemiplegia who were disappointed and helpless, she used superb technology and patient care to help patients regain confidence.
Wu Yixin's excellent performance on the field won the praise of the standardized patients interpreted by foreigners, won the high recognition of the referee experts, won the applause of the onlookers, fully demonstrated the positioning of Shanghai Health Medical College as "application-oriented, characteristic and international", and also reflected the training concept of "equal emphasis on skills and humanities" of the School of Nursing and Health Management.
During the special competition, the preparation team faced unfamiliar venue layout, unused items and equipment, and temporarily adjusted case materials to overcome difficulties one by one. Zhou Yan, the leader of the expert group, and Zeng Wenqi, the interpreter, accompanied the contestants in the arena to study and design carefully; The support team, composed of Zhu Aiyong, Dean of the School of Nursing Management, Xu Shuqin, head of the coaching staff, and Cao Wenting, venue manager and coach, repeatedly polished the details of the adjusted cases and kept improving; Domestic stationed coaches Jia Jianfang and Zhou Yinghua waited in front of the screen every night until the early hours of the morning, ready to connect for guidance regardless of jet lag.
Wu Yixin stayed in school last year to become a young teacher of Shanghai Health Medicine
Throughout the competition, relevant leaders of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of the People's Republic of China and the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security visited the competition venue every day to greet the players and cheer them on; School leaders and teachers who are thousands of miles away also care about the contestants and frequently send messages to express greetings and concern. In order to ensure that the contestants can eat delicious meals during the competition, Dean Zhu Aiyong even acted as an "ordering and delivery person". Whenever the contestants finish their intense competition tasks, hot and fragrant meals are already in front of them, praised for their skill, warmth, and feelings.
