The nurse who tweeted continued with this job for about three years after graduating from college, and while he was happy to be praised by the patient, he often quit his job because he was not doing well with his boss and was mentally involved. I revealed what I wanted.
It appears that he was not satisfied with the treatment, and in August he tweeted to Yusaku Maezawa, the founder of ZOZO who calls himself “Uncle Money Distributor”, if he could ask only medical workers.
After that, he kept complaining about his job, and around December 20 he quit his job as a nurse and confessed that he would never do it again.
The tweet received more than 100,000 likes and the nurses were greeted with words. At the same time, there were a number of voices from people who seemed to be in the same job, saying that they wanted to quit, saying that they could understand their feelings.
Medical professionals have been forced to grapple with the crown since this spring, and they seem to be getting tired. Large numbers of nurses have been reported to have withdrawn from hospitals due to the deteriorating work environment, but the Japan Nursing Association held a press conference in Tokyo on the 22nd, revealing that the environment is deteriorating further. .
According to the report, since cleaning companies are not afraid of infections, nurses have to clean the toilet and wash clothes, and there are many offers to quit smoking at the end of the year.
The medical fee was increased, but the Ministry of Health, Labor and Social Welfare said: “The payment to nurses is unknown.”
According to a survey carried out by the Nursing Association towards the spring, 15% of hospitals left their jobs due to environmental deterioration, etc., and 21% of hospitals that dealt with infectious diseases. As a result, it was found that 45% of hospitals treat infectious diseases due to a shortage of nurses.
Additionally, 20% of nurses and others reported experiencing discrimination and prejudice, and 27% said that their families and relatives had said unkind words to those around them. On the other hand, only 0.2% of the nurses answered that they were infected with the new corona virus.
This is only the situation in the first wave, and it seems that the numbers may have changed more in the third wave.
On December 10, the Japan Academy of Nursing Management released a statement titled “To the People” on its official website, revealing that there are still many discriminations and prejudices that make it impossible to focus on nursing. In the way that the situation at the time of the first wave has not improved, President Chie Beppu said on the 22nd: “By issuing this statement, we will firmly understand the situation of the nursing staff for the people. We believe that receiving this will help eliminate prejudice and discrimination, “said J-CAST News.
The government is also taking steps to improve the treatment of nurses.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Social Welfare has gradually increased medical fees starting in April and started providing consolation money to medical workers starting around September. Some hospitals are said to give nurses a high amount as risk allowance, but “I don’t know how much the nurse is paid because the hospital is free to use it without specifying the purpose of use.” It’s called (Medical Division). Regarding the rate of rotation of nurses, he replied: “As it is a burden for medical institutions, we do not tabulate it. Nor do we know the reason for leaving work” (Division of Nursing).
