| Structure |
Does the client have a day structure during the COVID-19 measures? |
| Structure helps to deal with chaos through a sense of predictability security is created. Fixed routines and clear expectations enable people to function better during periods of chaos. |
| Consequences |
Does the client have insight into the consequences of measures associated with the spread of COVID-19? Are there realistic expectations about the consequences of COVID-19? Clear expectations create a certain degree of predictability of the world. |
| Everyone sometimes makes mistakes, because clear consequences follow, one is able to learn from this. This also means that people have clear expectations of the world. |
| Intimate relationships |
Does the client experience unconditional love from at least one person? |
| Unconditional love is an important foundation for resilience. Even if someone is no longer physically present in our lives, the memory of ever being loved can suffice. This also applies if someone no longer has physical contact due to the COVID-19 measures, but does have someone in his / her life who gives him / her unconditional love. |
| Other relationships |
Is there a support network available to answer client’ questions and to talk to (may also be online) during COVID-19 measures? |
| We all need a community to belong to: family, colleagues, volunteer work, an association, or another group of people where we feel needed. As a result, people experience support during setbacks. It is important that there is still contact even though physical contact is not possible (e.g.,: telephone, WhatsApp, video calling or other methods) |
| Identity |
Does the client have a strong sense of identity? Does the client accept himself as a person with both qualities and limitations? |
| An "identity" is about someone having a coherent image of themselves. The image you have of yourself determines how you deal with setbacks, this is partly formed in interaction with others in your environment. |
| Control |
Does the client have a sense of control over his / her own life? Or does the client experience despair because it is not possible to make your own choices through the COVID-19 measures? |
| When people feel in control of life, a greater sense of control is created. This is reinforced, for example, because you can make choices yourself. Control is helpful in dealing with setbacks. |
| Belonging, spirituality, sense of culture. |
Does the client have the feeling that he "belongs" somewhere? |
| There are many different ways through which a person can develop a sense of belonging. This can arise through an association / club, work, spirituality and specific cultural communities etc. A sense of "connectedness with others" and "belonging" makes it easier to deal with setbacks. |
| Rights and responsibilities |
Does the client know what his / her rights are during COVID-19 measures? And does the client take responsibility for himself with regard to the COVID-19 measures? |
| There is a sense of responsibility for one's own actions. One feels responsible for his own actions, one also feels responsible for (possible) persons who are in their care in the context of COVID-19. Think of: keeping a 1.5 m distance, reducing social contact and staying at home as much as possible. |
| Safety and security |
Does the client experience a sense of safety during COVID-19? |
| Feeling safe and being able to rely on others helps us find the right sources of resilience. It is important to know that our home and our community are safe. This allows us to ask for help. Consider, for example: confidence that the government is making the right decisions and that sufficient good care can be provided if you are ill. |
| Positive thoughts |
Does the client have hope that the COVID-19 measures will come to an end? |
| Positive thoughts help us keep hope in difficult situations. From a realistic expectation and positive thoughts one can develop hope and optimism for the future. |
| Physical well-being |
Can the client adequately monitor their own physical health during the COVID-19 measures? |
| Physical health refers to a healthy diet, sufficient physical activity, and timely contact with a GP if there are physical complaints. Does the person concerned know what measures to take if there are symptoms related to COVID-19? Does the person concerned ensure that he / she eats healthy and gets enough exercise? |
| Financial well-being |
Does the client have sufficient financial resources to take care of himself and (if applicable) other family members? |
| By having enough money we manage to support ourselves as well as possible family members. How much money is enough depends on the social norms of the community around us. The person concerned may have lost his / her work due to the COVID-19 measures. Has the person involved organized a benefit or does he / she know who can help him / her? |
