Corona in Bavaria: Nurses and doctors in hospitals are reaching their limits
Nursing staff and doctors
in hospitals are now reaching their limits.
The work pressure is high, patients die and there is a fear of being infected.
"The stress is higher than in the spring, when we were still fresh," said psychologist Eva Katharina Krauss-Köstler from the Nuremberg Clinic.
The first Corona * wave has already left its mark, now everyone has to persevere anyway.
In this situation, a psychosocial
crisis intervention team
is supposed to
support the employees at the Nuremberg Clinic *.
The 25 employees can be reached on a crisis hotline every day from morning until night.

Corona in Bavaria: Doctors and nurses worried about infecting their own family
“It is very different what moves people,” said Krauss-Köstler, who looks after the crisis intervention team.
Some suffered from the heavy
workload
, others worried about not having enough time for the family or possibly even infecting them with Corona *.
"We noticed that we are contacted more often when a young person dies of Covid-19 *."
However, the team also regularly goes to the wards that are particularly affected in order to get an idea for themselves - and above all to build trust.
"It is a high threshold for employees to turn to a crisis intervention team," said the head psychologist Barbara Stein from the Clinic for Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy.
It often helps to talk about worries and insecurities in the team.
In everyday life, however, that is just getting lost.
“There is currently no air to breathe,” said Stein.
