This study aims to determine the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on burnout experienced by nurses at Dr. Hospital. Wahidin Sudirohusodo as one of the special hospitals that treat patients affected by Covid-19. This research is a qualitative study using some literature from related articles and journals as well as the results of a discussion group forum (FGD) from nurses at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital Makassar. The results showed that there was a burnout in nurses when they saw so many patients who were under observation or who were positively affected by the outbreak of this virus. Nurses are confronted with thoughts of high-risk work amid pandemic conditions and think of families who are at home as well as conditions where nurses want to go home but workloads are very high and worry about returning home in conditions carrying viruses that are invisible. Limitations of this study are the lack of access to communicate with nurses who maintain contact with researchers at the time to prevent the spread of the virus.

They Get This Training, But They Don't Really Know How You Feel is the title of a collection of transcripts of interviews with the parents of handicapped children.... A number of themes emerged from what the parents had to say. One was that the professionals often gave the impression of not wanting to look at the family's difficulties in coping with a handicapped child. Doctors, for example, were seen as wanting to look only at the purely medical problems. One mother commented: "When they're in hospital, desperately ill, and they know—like spina bifida babies, they know they can operate and most likely save their lives, but I think it's wrong. The medical profession is inclined to do all this—wonderful they've saved another life. But then they don't get the back-lash, we're the ones who have to take them over at home. I think they're hypocrites, all of them." ...Often the parents felt fobbed off with pity they could not use—"you can just see them humouring you; it's no good, sympathy without action."

The ultimate goal of every handicapped person is to achieve as great a degree as possible of independence, that is, to do as much as possible for himself. He does not need sympathy or to be smothered in charity but only a chance to succeed according to his potential maximum achievement. The physically handicapped child should always be seen primarily as a child and secondarily as a child with a handicap. He has the same needs and requirements, as the ordinary healthy child, of love and security, but he does need an extra bit of understanding and assistance to take him over the hurdle of his handicap. For that reason special schools have been founded to accommodate the different types of handicapped children. The handicapped child’s orientation to his world can only be successfully constituted if he has a healthy pedagogical relationship at home as well as at school.

The records of 43 children with mongolism living at home are reviewed to determine what the presence of such a child means to the parents and the normal siblings. Long-range decisions are usually not needed for the infant with mongolism, and the pediatrician can best serve the child and his family by assuring them that it is "all right" to have the child at home. In this series only two families were disrupted during the neonatal period of the affected infant. The child with mongolism will require somewhat more than average medical care, and his parents will need more than average support and continuous counseling. Of 43 families, 31 adjusted to the affected child without adverse effect on their way of living. The families with problems were found to need specific help and were referred to social workers or family agencies. In 33 families the normal siblings adjusted to the abnormal one with minimal adverse effects; several teen-age siblings were more realistic than their parents in accepting the assets and limitations of the handicapped child. As the child with mongolism approaches adolescence, he may be deprived of optimal training and personal guidance if he continues to live at home and in a community where no provisions are made for him; and without an adequate plan, he may come to dominate family living. In communities where special classes, social groups and sheltered workships exist, the pediatrician can continue judicious temporizing. Through his continuing contacts with the affected child and his family, the pediatrician can support the parents in their decisions, at the same time pointing out the values and hazards of keeping the child at home at various stages of development.

A severely paralysed child whose trunk as well as both lower limbs is affected needs an aid for the basic needs of sitting, standing and other activities of daily living. Often a number of aids such as standing table, adapted chairs, commode etc., is required to meet basic needs. Special equipment has been designed for this multipurpose use, which does not occupy much space in a house and is portable. This equipment enables the parents to manage the handicapped child at home.
