Tania Cole emphasizes the importance caregivers need to take in shielding patients from stress. She explains that discussing bills or external problems can be detrimental to patients, as their immune systems are weaker and more susceptible to stress. She highlights that stress can significantly impact patients' emotional responses and overall well-being.
As a caregiver, it's very important that we shelter the person from stress, not to tell them about bills or problems that are going around, like what we have because, it's very hard for them to, deal with stress. Their body, their immune system is not as strong as ours, so stress really affects them and it also can affect the way that they react to it. The emotions are different, so it's important for us to keep them sheltered from stress.
