Creative intermediate solutions
| Workplace Solutions | Family Solutions |
|---|---|
| Reduce working hours in the emergency ward while reminding the family of the value of her service during the COVID-19 pandemic | Remind the physician’s spouse that she chose this job with his consent, and now she wants to fulfill her work obligations |
| Consult and coordinate with emergency ward management to employ safer methods in the workplace to prevent the staff from contracting COVID-19 | Obtain the consent of the spouse and family by consulting with them to adopt a more favorable way such that family interests are less harmed in continuing to serve patients |
| Attend less dangerous situations in the hospital | Obtain the consent of the spouse through mediation of others, including the elders of the family |
| Obtain the consent of the spouse by requesting him to visit the hospital and observe the social crisis situation closely, and talk to head of the emergency ward | |
| Get help from a family counselor | |
| Use higher standard safety equipment than what is normally used in the workplace, even at personal expense, to minimize the family’s psychological anxiety |
