ithave is very challenging because, damo sya may nabal an sa akon and sometimes ga matter
gid ya angpersonal na mga parti sa relationship namon kay amo na gani family friend sila
namon. Pero as long as he can identify that im his care giver and his my patient so sometime ga
differ man depending sa mood ka tigulang.

kay kilalhanay ang family mo ang imo gina alagaan?
Participant:: yes may ara, I think hapos kami mag interact kay damo na ko my anabal an sila kay
usually I talk to his wife and his kids so easy and information mabal anand very open sila sa akon.
I stayed sila house most of the time kay kinahanglan nya gid may mabantay siya 24/7.

Interviewer: Pwede koma ask kong ano angschedule mo sang ga shift ka d?

Participant:: every day didto na ko ga stay sila kay ga puli lang ko every afterenoon, pero gabalik
lang ko kay gina consider ko iya situation na tigulang na sya kag damo na sya daan balatian kag
during that time gina dialysis pa sya daan so kinanlan gid sang caregiver sila balay.

Interviewer: As a general how do you feel about serving them, which in your case is your
patient?
Participant: as a general I feel so grateful,kay during that time sang gina alagaan ko sya damo
damo benefits, not financially ha, but the relationships that established.I get closer sa iya efore
sya napatay, napatay sya sang last october 2016. I get also closer sa iya mga bata.
Interviewer: What would you consider as significant event as an elderly caregiver? I mean ano
ang mag events sang ga alaga ka siya? Can you share certain events na para sa imo indi mo
malipatan?
Participant: during those time na ga emotional ang tigulang. My times gid na ya na very
emotional sya because of his situation , na kapila gid na sya ya magpa thank you or maghibi sa
atubangan ko, mahambal sya na wla na gid may gabantay siya, wala na gid kuno my gacomfort sa
iya. Of course youy have to understand and comfort mo sya. Give him assurance about his family.
Because my patients kids ara bi sa abroad. So understandanble na ga amo na sya from time to
time. Then very significant man ang mga moments na gina dumdumka na gina value ka man sang
iban na tawo. Not just your parient but also his family. I got really closer siya family daan. And
very appreciated ka sa work mo kay amo na youve been part f his life sang amo na nah hard
time.

Interviewer: So diba home base sya na patient, so about his family are they also take part of
taking care of him?
Participant: yeah ang iya wife is also a nurse, pero wla na sya nagpadayun sa iya na profession
pero kay knowledgable man sya when it come on taking care sa mga tigulang so gabuligay kami
sa pagbantay sa iya na husband.

Interviewer: How do view this experience? Ato ang mga experience mo na gin share , how do
you view those experiences to your self.?
Participant: it helps me a lot of course, since its my first job I was able to learn a lot of things. first
patienc, malawig gid ni imo pasensya kay indi pa one day lang or para lng sa isa ka adlaw na
dutihan mo, unlike sa pagigng nurse mo b sa hospital ya, sya ya pang everyday patient, then
careful ka gid always kay ga deal ka sa tigulang kung sala man gid maubra mo, sa mga bulong
dapat aware ka gid sa tanan tanan. Kag of course ang attachment mo sa tawo kay samtang sa
dugay na pag alaga mo sa iya mas gadugang ang pagcare mo sa iya.

Interviewer: Pano ka gali nakasulod sa sini na work?

Participant: since that time im still unemployed. Each time magvisit si mama sila gaupid ko. Since
im nursing graduate sometimes I help siya wife when it comes siya medication. so nabal an nila
na nursing grad ko and fresh graduate koto that timeseaking for a job so they decided to hire me
instead na mag alaga para sigurado naman kuno since my mother and his wife are really close
friend. and their afmily trust my family man

Interviewer: Since you mention na gin personally hire ka sang iya wife. pano nya ka na influence
or na pursuade para magsulod as a caregiver for an elderly patient?
Participant: indi man grabe na pusuade na gin pilit gid ko. Interesado man gid ko na mag alaga
sa iya or magsulod sa caregiving since connected man sya ya sang educational background ko. As
part of nursing, part an sa amon na choice of work na maging personal nurse or pwede man na
caregiver. Sa akon na case , aside from me, may mga personal profesional nurses man ang akon
patient para magmaintain siya medical needs, na duwa kabilog galing galakat lang da sila to
check up since ang house nila ara man lang sa likod ka hospital. Ako ya caregiver gid ya since
hands on gid ko sa mga ulubrahon sa iya even his personal needs. And also a nurse kay ga giho
man ko sang mga apparatus ang inject bulong. Also since and patient ko nami man gid
batasan, very cool baski tigulang na gid sya. Also si tito( as the respondent addresses her patient)
he use to be our playmate sa mga siblings ko sang gamay pa kami. So indi man na ya gid ya subra
na pagpilit sa akon, ako man mismo, gusto ko for experience. I think dapat during those time, na
feel ko na makahelpgid sa akon in the future profession kokung maka expereince ko na maging
caregiver and it do helps man gid since im a nurse now in a hospital.sang ara ko sa ward sang
emergency ward sometimes may mga tigulang gid ya. So I know how to handle them. Ara man ya
ang financial support and benefits na mabaton ko kay ga help gid sila nya sa mga kinahanglan.
May sweldo man ko to, eventhough dept of gratitude na lang na tani namon sa ila kay gin buligan
man kami na nila sang time na kinahanglan man namon. So why not na maghelp mn,buligan man
namon sila sini na time na kinahanglan nila nurse or caregiver and its better na kilala gid nila.

Interviewer: Actually kaina na ask ko na ang pros and cons pero ari ya is about the challenges you
encounter. Can you cite experiences that you encountered during this job?
Participant: as a whole na naexperience ko budlay, pero sadya kag challenging gid katama kay
syempre everyday ko to gameet, everyday ko to ara sa ila kag gina spend ko gid ang week ko na
gina spend sa ila kag magpuli ko sa balay inoras lang stay ko. and make sure na gakaliso sya
most of the time kay bed ridden sya. Kag ang factor pa gid na gabudlay is that babayi ko kag
kagamay sa akon built, so required gid na lisuon ko sya from time to time,pasyente para indi sya
magka bed sore so hakwaton mo gid sya. Sometimes I ask help, like sa boyfriend ko na nurse
man na daw always naman to kay pirmi ko ga ask help sa mga bug at na ulubrahon, mabulig sa
akon kag gamayon lang ko ya daan so may stuggle gid ya magliso sa iya. Gina buligan man ko
sang wife nya.When it comes sa mga personal nya na mga ulubrahon, ara man iya wife na gaubra
sina. Sa iya poop may devise man na gin padala ang iya mga utod na ginagamit para matinluan
iya feces. So daw indi gid masyado ako nabudlayan sa mga ulubrahon na amo na. Kag since nurse
man sya ya , nagmamarunong man sya sometimes eh. Its hard kay tig a ulo, gapaugtas kay damo
nahibal an but also sometimes sya man gainstruct sa akon kag wala gid sya ka gaduwa duwa na
mag seek help if may kailanganon sya so gahapos akon ulubrahon. Also nag abot gid ang time
man na malipaton na sya. May times na indi nya kilala ang tanan. Kis a indi nya na kilala iya mga
hinablos so gapaugtas sya, even iya mga utod which is a factor ky ga ulyanin na sya. Ga tatrums
pa gid sya. Sometimes, Kaluoy na gid, gina pang detach nya na ang mga apparatus and scotch
tapes. Amo na gid na katama ang difference samtang gadugay. And me as the carregiver of
course ang emotion is the same as the family man siguro. Kung ano ang kakulba sang mga
unexpected situation of course he is my patient. he treats me wellman and his family man bi. Na
indi nako lain sa ila. Tkey talk to me most of the time and I know a lot gid ya even saiya wife. I
grew fond of that family becase of how they treated me. And even now na wala na ang patient
ko mas nangin close gid yaang relationship sang amon family.

Interviewer: Since theres a alot of experience ka na naencounter and most of it are very
significant. How did you deal with them or pano mo ini na handle.
Participant: siguro ang gina ubra ko man lng gina value ko gid ang na build na relationship. The
attachment, syempre didto ka nagtinir for more than one year, lain man gid ya ang feeling na
kailangan ko ni sya buligan, na indi all about sa benefits, but of course in the first place eh na
syempre ubra ni, experience man. But sooner ma realize mo na ang pinaka importante na
naexperience mo na nakabulig ka sa iban na before sya napatay na nabuligan mo sya. Na
consider ka na part sa iya life. As much as I can tani gustokogid kag wala gid problema para
saakon na alagaan sya. Galing amo lang na in a short time lang sya, partly also nagtinir man sya
sa hospital daan.

Interviewer: How did this work influence you and your life now as a nurse in a hospital?
Participant:: subong ang experience ko to sang una na everytime na ginapa handle ko sa mga
tigulang daw kahapos na lang kay kabalo na ko mag communicate sa ila beyond the normal
words. And mga needs nila na indi na kinahanglan na isugo. Kag kabalo ka nagid man kung paano
sila I handle because indi na sila ya pag ihandle llike normal middle age people. They are old
people who needs special care and a tons of patience. So adw ka easy easy na lang like storyahon
sila or tinluan sila danay. Dapat ka na gid ya kabalo maginchindi kis a mas bata pa sila kumpara
mag act sa mga 7 years old. So naghapos na gid ya ang pag ubra ko as a nurse subong kung
pahandle ko sa mga tigulang.

Interviewer: What do you do to relax or unwind?

Participant: Didto man ko ga stay sa ila balay. Galantaw ko tv or ga read ko books samtang
gabantay ko. Kay actually indi gid man stressful ang ubra ko most of the time gapungkoka lang sa
kilid niya, gaistorya. Mas gaka unwind pa ko gani kung gina istorya ko kay nami man gid iya life
story mo. Ky damo gid ya experiences mo kay iya life story pang mmk mong.

Interviewer: Ano ang mga na buid mo na interest or hobby or present na daan na gamit mo sang
gaubra ka to?
Participant: sang una wala ko mayo gabasa, perosang ga workko to gabasa man kokay damo sila
katama collections of book even medical books na need ko sa work ko ara man to sa ila. Gina
grab ko gid ang oppurtunity na magbasa. Also ang skill ko sa communication nag better.
