La CURA es l'atenciò a la persona amb les seves mancances, foscors i llums. Desde que neixem necessitem cura i afecte.

La cura per a mi es "tractar als altres com vols que et tractin a tu" tan en els aspectes fisics com en les teves situacions del teu estat "interior"

La cura és l’acció de benestar emocional i de poder estar acompanyada que hauria de ser un drets reconegut, molt resumidamente.

Una capacitat humana que respon a una necessitat humana

Es inevitable necessitar dels altres al llarg de la vida, tot i que en diferents intensitat o tipologia segons el moment vital o personal. I alhora és quelcom que en un moment o altre ens demanarà de nosaltres.

Per tant, tenim la possibilitat de respondre als reclams d'ajuda dels altres i desenvolupar les nostres capacitats humanes en empatitzar i donar-nos. I la possibilitat de rebre dels altres segons les necessitats i predisposicio dels altres

La CURA per a mi, és tractar a la persona com un bé tan preuat que el poguem fer sentir que és la protagonista iel centre de la nostra atenció, que és IMPORTANT per nosaltres i volem que se senti atesa.

Care is life.

Care Activist
Spain

Taking care is an attitude, such as empathy. Empathy or care design methods are so wrong: theses attitudes are seen as "a phase" in a project methodology, when they should be a state of mind all along the project, a way to act, a way to be. Enabling care as a state of mind, as a spirit, not as a methodology!

Care Activist

Care is where you will think of my physical well-being, provide emotional & psychological support, enable social engagement, push for cognitive stimulation, respect my spiritual & cultural self, cover my safety & security, empower my independence, tailor my care plan and give me dignity by supporting my end-of-life options.

"Care," like "love," is an emotion and also an action verb. In my experience, the "healthcare" situation in the US is neither health nor care. I am a senior and a patient with a complex medical history that no clinician seems to have time for. Managing the provider's busy schedule has become the priority, not patient care. I'm not sure how I can advocate for improvement in our broken system, driven by the insurance industry. I plan to do some writing to raise awareness of these concerns, so they don't become any further normalized.

Care for me means not having to worry something will be missed when I'm feeling poorly and need to rely on (trust) medical professionals to navigate our healthcare system and practice at their best to help me manage my acute & chronic needs.

For me care means empathy for others. Care means expressing concern for the well-being of others.

Student
Singapore

For me care is taking care of myself, in other words, self-care. Care starts from myself, because if I can't take care of myself how am I going to care for others? Care is observing and taking the initiative to do something. For instance, observing and feeling that my body is feeling tired, I'll take the time off to rest to recuperate.
