Information is helpful when facing a health challenge, however, according to research and medical authorities, the most significant impact comes from personally connecting with others. In a survey of more than 4,000 CaringBridge users, patients perceived health benefits and better care when using CaringBridge.
A hospital social worker recommended CaringBridge to the Farrars when their son was diagnosed with leukemia. They found so much support in the therapeutic journaling.
One way that nurses are helping to improve the inpatient experience is through CaringBridge, a social media website designed for patients and their families to communicate with loved ones.
Dr. Phil became aware of Kate McRae's story online, when her parents, Aaron and Holly, put out a call for prayers. Their world turned upside down when their 5-year-old daughter was diagnosed with a malignant, aggressive brain tumor.
While Christina Avery is a private person, she has found some comfort in blogging about her daughter's struggle with cancer.
During a serious medical event, social support can help a person live better, maybe longer.
For anyone dealing with an illness, (self, caregiver, partner, family member, close friend), I highly recommend setting up a personalized CaringBridge site. I think that the service offers social workers an invaluable and potentially very creative resource to share with consumers.
