Throughout the pandemic, my values have changed toward patient-centered care. I believe that everyone counts, and hence each individual should be provided with healthcare tailored to their healthcare needs. It also ensures that individuals’ healthcare is improved and that each individual is prioritized when providing care during the pandemic. This ensures that no one was discriminated against or excluded from accessing healthcare. Another value that I developed during the pandemic and clinical practice is the importance of compassion. Compassion is essential and central in providing care. During the pandemic, there were high rates of death and high infection rates. Responding to the patient’s distress, anxiety, and needs with kindness and humanity. This was essential as the pandemic has had major impacts on the physical and mental well-being of the individuals. Another value was the need for effective communication.
