Caregivers are expected to provide quality care even though they are faced with challenges such as inadequate staffing, low salary/wages, and long working hours.  These challenges cause frustration and care giver burn out. This can be very overwhelming and may cause the caregivers to behave negatively towards their patients, without even knowing or recognizing it. “Anger is an emotion that a person feels when they are fearful, are grieving, or feel frustrated over lack of control of their environment” (Spencer, 1999). Hence, the patient may feel attacked, and retaliate by striking, pushing, or even pinching the care givers.  We must remember that these patients came from their homes or other facilities, having given up their personal belongings, finances and family because they need better care and help. These and other various physical, psychological and social reasons can contribute to them becoming abusive. Their abusive behavior may also stem from previous caregivers, which cause them to lose trust in, and respect for current caregivers. Patients might also be going through physical pain, but due to physiological noise interference, communication between caregiver and patient is ineffective. The frustration of been sick and unable to help themselves also make patients miserable. They want to do things by themselves, the way they normally do, but that is impossible at this time. Some patients also want to be left alone as this is their comfort zone: they need peace and quiet.  If this is breached, then they may become agitated. “As the dementia advances, sensory information becomes more confusing and may cause enew distress” (Farb,2022). Therefore, patients with conditions such as dementia or epilepsy may experience confusion, and resist care if they think the caregiver is attacking, instead of helping them.There are various ways in which we can prevent or resolve these situations. For instance, the caregiver could reassure the patient by explaining the care he is providing so the patient does not get agitated. It could also be helpful to listen without interrupting and encourage the patient to talk about their anger.  Speaking to the patient in a calm manner and maintaining eye contact will help to build a better relationship. The caregiver should also build trust with the patient by providing reassurance that they are safe.   Farb, B. (2022, April 30). Dilemmas of long-term care.
