Carlos

Carlos is a dedicated care home nurse in Spain who has devoted 16 years to his profession. Over the past seven years, he has built a strong sense of community among his colleagues and the care home residents at his current workplace. Recently, the care home management has made the decision to install monitoring cameras in common areas and resident rooms who are prone to risks of falling and other emergencies. This initiative has left Carlos with conflicting emotions, causing him increased anxiety. While he acknowledges the potential for a safer environment with the monitoring system, he worries about the negative impact on the work atmosphere. Carlos fears that the sense of community he has worked hard to build will be hindered and that a constant feeling of scrutiny and surveillance will prevail. Additionally, he is concerned that the camera footage may be misinterpreted, leading to distorted perceptions and misunderstandings. Moreover, most of his fellow nurses seem to support the initiative, which further disempowers Carlos from expressing his concerns, as he fears being seen as someone with something to hide.
