More than 201 years have passed since that day and her name is still remembered every year. Forty years after her birth, <strong>Nightingale founded the first nursery school<\/strong> in Saint Thomas Hospital, in London. Time after, she became an inspiration for, among others, the creator of Red Cross, Henri Dunant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apart from a tribute to Nightingale,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newtandem.com\/en\/european-day-smes\/\"> May 12<\/a> is also a date to <strong>recognise the labor made by every nursery professional<\/strong>. Most of them are women (more than an 84% of them in Spain), for humanity&#8217;s health and well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">International Year of Health and Care Workers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The World Health Organization decided that 2021 had to become <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/campaigns\/annual-theme\/year-of-health-and-care-workers-2021\">a year of recognition for health workers<\/a>. The pandemic has reached every work sector, and especially the one that has saved lives and treated millions of patients worldwide. More than a year ago, the daily applauses showed how grateful society was with health workers. Nevertheless, it&#8217;s more important to thank them with our actions than with our gestures. It&#8217;s in our hands to be <strong>responsible and prevent the system to overload<\/strong> and providing a scenario where our health and care workers are able to do their job without an added stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s also important, especially after all the lives they have saved, to help them as a society with their vindications. The pandemic has provoked a scenario of an undeniable visibility for health and care workers. When the situation ends, we should remember how, as UN indicates, <strong>nurses and other workers in the sector are key in the maintenance of health levels of the population<\/strong>, and also in the achievement of several Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Caring for the mental health of nurses and providing them with the resources they need, main objectives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>International Council of Nurses<\/strong> has offered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icn.ch\/how-we-do-it\/campaigns\/international-nurses-day\">some data to have in mind<\/a> related with the situation of the sector. There are four main topics. All of them should become a main objective for health systems around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First of all, <strong>Covid and the infections and deaths<\/strong> it has caused among nurses and other health workers. At the end of the year 2020,<strong> 1.6 million health and care workers<\/strong> were estimated to have been <strong>infected<\/strong>. And at the end of January, 2021, there were registers of more than <strong>2,700 deaths<\/strong> of nurses in 59 countries, due to coronavirus infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second topic to have in mind is the <strong>stress and exhaustion<\/strong> for nurses. An <strong>80%<\/strong> of the national associations assigned to the Council have declared they have received reports of<strong> mental health problems<\/strong> among nurses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is also worrying is the<strong> scarcity of nursery personnel<\/strong> and the retention of new talent. It is estimated that in a few years <strong>there will be 13 million new nurses needed<\/strong> worldwide to palliate the insufficiency of professionals and the expected retirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, before the mentioned scarcity of nurses, there is now a special attention regarding the <strong>quantity of them that will have to be trained<\/strong> in the next years. Also, in how a <strong>73%<\/strong> of national associations affiliated with the ICN, have reported that the pandemic had <strong>paralysed -partially or totally- the nurses education.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inclusion of nurses in the health systems leadership<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given that nursery professionals have been the<strong> biggest guarantors of palliative care during the pandemic<\/strong> (according to ICN around a 90% of it), and they are the ones that &#8220;have seen more closely the fragilities and weaknesses to approach for the design of the future health systems&#8221;, they claim to become an important part of those <strong>designing teams<\/strong>. It&#8217;s a matter of justice and of intelligence, because of all the value nurses can add.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From <strong>New Tandem<\/strong>, we recognize the labor of every nurse, not only during this last year -yet especially because of it- since, unfortunately, many of them have given their lives to save us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florence Nightingale was born on May 12, 1820 in Florence, Italy.
