Benches of appreciation: So students honor regional heroes!

Benches of appreciation: So students honor regional heroes!

The historic Sebaldusweg in Weyer delights a new project to enjoy visitors. For a few weeks now, redesigned benches have been decorating their way and exuding a special message: appreciation. Using statements that come from interviews with regional personalities, they move people from professions who often experience less recognition. The pupils of BBS Weyer launched this with a lot of commitment to congratulate them above all those who work in nursing, hospitality, cleaning, sales and agriculture.

The original appreciation statements can be called up on the benches via QR codes. So every passerby can not only enjoy a piece of nature, but also deal with the thoughts and experiences of the interview partners. The tourism association and the communities along the Sebaldusweg, which have recognized the importance of appreciation for society, have helped with the financing and installation, such as meinzimzirk.at reported.

appreciation in care

The importance of appreciation extends beyond the project benches. Especially in the nursing sector, appreciation plays a central role. Nurses are often faced with a lack of recognition. A survey by the Federal Ministry of Health has shown that many nurses suffer from little social appreciation, which affects their self -awareness and thus on their work. Often your own competence and complexity of the profession are not sufficiently communicated, which leads to a bad image. Only those who appreciate their own work can also convey the value of this activity, as [bundesgesundheitministerium.de] (https://www.bundesgesundmessministium.de/ Ministry/Ressortforschung/ärtungsfelder/Demographischer-wandel/kompetenzkommunikation.html) shows.

The current situation in care, which is characterized by high workload and lack of personnel, reinforces this problem. Around 50 percent of the nursing staff are between 50 and 60 years old. With the departure of these specialists from the profession, many valuable skills could be lost. In addition, numerous employees say that they often have the feeling that they are not valued. Numerous factors, such as inadequate payment and a lack of visibility of the work they do, make appreciation in the industry more difficult. A study determines that the recognition by superiors and patients is crucial for the self-esteem of the nursing staff, such as ppm-online.org emphasized.

The colorful range of appreciation cards on the Sebaldusweg shows that society is aware of these challenges and takes the first steps to make appreciation visible. This everyday perception is not only important for those affected, but ultimately for all of us. Because each of us can be dependent on the support of nurses. That is why we are all required to promote the appreciation in everyday life and thus contributed to a respectful cooperation in our community.
