Kinaesthetics

We are experienced nurses and Kinaesthetics trainers at the UMM. In our day-to-day nursing care, we focus on the mindful design of nursing processes. We take the words "nursing is art" by Florence Nightingale (* May 12, 1820 - † August 13, 1910 - British nurse and pioneer of modern nursing) and report on our personal views on this statement.
In its broadest sense, the word art refers to any developed human activity based on knowledge, practice, perception, imagination and intuition. Where do we find this statement in everyday nursing care?

When we enter a hospital room, we perceive a wealth of information (observations) in the first few minutes. Based on our knowledge and experience, we categorize them accordingly, put them into context and derive appropriate measures. The result is a very complex and individual picture of our counterpart and their situation. Picking up a patient where they are and moving forward with them requires a high degree of adaptability, knowledge, empathy, practice, sensitive perception and intuition. It is indeed a great art to adapt the necessary support and nursing to the very individual, personal and medical needs of another person. We use the contents of the Kinaesthetics nursing concept, which has been introduced and is practiced at the UMM.

Kinaesthetics is based on the experience of one's own movement We use the understanding of one's own movement to support people in their activities in a finely adapted way.

If we can use our understanding of movement appropriately and flexibly during the support of an activity, it is a joint activity and appreciative, joint work on recovery. The aim is to support people so that they can discover, use and develop their abilities (resources). At the same time, we focus our attention on recognizing the limits of all those involved, not exceeding them and offering other possibilities.

Caring for sick and elderly people is not a vacation job. It is an art and, if it is to become art, requires just as much dedication and preparation as the work of a painter or sculptor. (Florence Nightingale)

As a university hospital, it is very important to us to see people holistically and complexly with all their facets, resources and deficits. For us, nursing at the UMM means respectful and appreciative cooperation and supporting people individually so that they can actively participate in nursing and recovery processes.
