How Times of Covid-19 Have Shaken The Foundations of Primary Care
Abstract
The COVID pandemic has presented an exceptional challenge to Primary Care, with unexpected scenarios. Despite being used to move in the uncertainty, this situation has made us rethink multiple organizational, assistance, and competence aspects, discovering weaknesses but also strengths and opportunities. It has been necessary to reorganize, to make quick decisions, in a context of enormous stress and concern. Essential aspects of our practice are based on communication and the principles of bioethics. We have translated into film script format situations experienced with patients and with our colleagues in health centers, in family doctor's offices, in homes, to reflect the value of communication facing the difficulties experienced in the COVID-19 pandemic. We have also raised situations that confronted us regarding ethical conflicts facing highly demanding decision making cases, within a scenario of absolute exceptionality. Communication skills and bioethics are essential tools for dealing with such complex situations where we feel so vulnerable.
