The DIAKO ( DIAKO Ev. Diakonie-Krankenhaus gGmbH ) is a Protestant hospital in Bremen Gröpelingen and an academic teaching hospital of the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel . It is the central supply hospital for around 100,000 residents of West Bremen (Gröpelingen, Walle and Findorff) and is divided into eight specialist departments and six certified interdisciplinary centers.

history

The Diako is the second oldest hospital in Bremen and the only one sponsored by the Protestant Bremen Diakonie . Due to the impoverishment of the working-class population, it was founded in 1867 by the citizens of Bremen based on the Kaiserwerth model . On the initiative of Pastor Hermann Henrici and with the support of Bremen doctors Ludwig Tölken, Eduard Lorent and Bernhard Pauli, the four men formed a sponsoring association dedicated to founding the deaconess house. The sponsoring association acquired two buildings in the Bremen free port, which were initially equipped with 14 beds, converted into a small hospital and connected to a nurses' house.

Since the Diako grew steadily both in size and in reputation, a new building was completed in 1880 on a spacious area at Nordstrasse 106. The care and care of the 90-patient mother and hospital was carried out by 60 deaconesses . The surgery and internal medicine were headed by doctors Diedrich Kulenkampff and Ludwig Tölken. In 1893 a children's clinic with 50 beds was opened. The Diako continued to grow until it was completely destroyed in World War II in 1944. The operation therefore took place in the following years at different locations. The old asylum bunker , a rented house on Uhlandstrasse and a former emigration center, the Lloydheim in Findorff , were used to provide poor medical care .

At the beginning of the 1950s, it was planned to build the hospital on the grounds of the Ludwig Schrage Stift in Gröpelingen. Construction began in 1958. In 1961, the hospital began providing patient care at this location. Since then, the Diako has developed into a medical care center: through the integration of orthopedics in 2000, the opening of the medical center in 2008, the expansion of the operating room capacities and the construction of the central emergency room and a further functional wing. It should ensure the supply of over 100,000 people in the catchment area of ​​West Bremen.

maintenance

With more than 400 employees, the nursing staff form the numerically strongest professional group in the Diako. You work according to a nursing concept based on the nursing theory of the American nursing scientist Dorothea Orem . The patients and their relatives are included in the care process. The focus is on promoting the patient's self-care skills. The nursing staff on the wards work according to the principle of primary care . For the patient, this means that a nurse known by name or their deputy is assigned as a contact person for the duration of their stay. She plans and evaluates care, coordinates the entire care and treatment process and prepares the patient for discharge at the beginning of the stay.
