BEIJING, April 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On the eve of World Parkinson's Day 2024, China Insurance Group and China Charity Federation jointly held the "Guardian Care Training" activity for Parkinson's patients. On April 10, we invited senior nursing training lecturers to visit the second community of the residential area of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television in Xicheng District, Beijing, to explain the common sense of care for elderly patients with Parkinson's disease, demonstrate the key measures of care, and impart practical care skills to community residents, community volunteers and volunteers who need to care for the elderly.

With the deepening of China's aging population, the phenomenon of "taking care of the elderly" is becoming more and more common. In order to avoid the situation of "one elderly person is disabled, the whole family is out of balance", the lecturer introduced the typical symptoms and serious harms of Parkinson's disease, emphasized that the disease needs early screening and early diagnosis of high-risk groups, pay attention to prevention and management, and pointed out that diet management, personalized exercise, safe care and rehabilitation training are the correct ways to improve the quality of life of elderly patients. The expert lecturer introduced the care measures for the elderly patients with Parkinson's disease from four aspects: general care, psychological care, symptomatic care and health guidance. From the adjustment of work and rest to the scientific use of medicine, from the layout of the living environment to the cultivation of hobbies, from the observation of the progress of the disease to the way of soothing communication, the care methods and precautions involving all aspects of the life of elderly patients were elaborated.
At the scene, experts, staff and on-site trainees worked closely together to carry out practical training in nursing techniques, aiming to alleviate various movement disorders in elderly patients with Parkinson's disease and prevent secondary dysfunctions such as muscle atrophy, osteoporosis, and orthostatic hypotension. In the learning process of sitting exercises, bed exercises, leg relaxation training, double upper limb interactive exercises and other sports skills, the on-site participants not only showed a strong desire for knowledge and practice, but also gained good learning results.
The on-site students actively interacted with the senior lecturers
"In the past, I always felt that when I got old and got sick, I could only live one day at a time. After listening to the teacher's lecture today, I realized that the development of the disease can be controlled through exercise. After the nursing training, Grandma Huang, whose wife suffers from Parkinson's disease, said happily, "I have never had the opportunity to attend such a practical lecture before." My wife's Parkinson's disease is still in its early stages, and I think that the care techniques I have learned today will definitely be good for his health, and I can take care of him in a disciplined manner. Do practical things for us seniors!"
"Guardian Nursing Training" is an integral part of the "Everybody's Power Series of Public Welfare Activities for the Elderly" initiated and implemented by Everybody Insurance Group and China Charity Federation. Through the linkage of elderly care service institutions, communities, volunteers and other parties, we will form a joint force, innovate public welfare solutions, and create a three-in-one public welfare project matrix of "companionship, guardianship, and dream realization", leading all sectors of society to participate in an orderly manner, transmit positive energy, and jointly create a warm and harmonious life for the elderly. Since its launch in September 2022, the project has held 115 charity activities in 21 cities, including Beijing, Tianjin, Shenyang, Taiyuan, Hangzhou, Chengdu and Jinan, bringing warmth and care to more than 3,000 elderly people.
