Final part of this assessment, focus will be on how to provide person-centre care (PCC) and holistic approach to Susan and her family regarding her condition as an asthmatic patient. Furthermore, some sources in this assessment will be critically appraised by using the ‘six questions for critical thinking’, (Aveyard, Sharp and Wooliams, 2015 p19). The traditional interaction between Health professionals and patients’ interaction which put an emphasis on the sickness rather than the individual with disease, will not decrease the chronic illness (Kaba and Sooriakumaran, (2007). In fact, more intricate methods of interaction are needed which involve patients and families to improve health outcomes. This complex approach is known as “patient centred …show more content…
This theory can be used as a holistic approach to Susan. McEvoy and Duffy (2008) illustrate holistic care is focusing on persons spiritual, mind, body, social and environmental needs. Bronfenbrenner model (BM) divide into four categories and each category influence and impact on Susan’s life when she encounters them. Furthermore, BM internal and external factors may be useful to underpin Susan’s symptoms and condition (Krishnan 2010). BM is used by many healthcare professional as their reference as well as foundation of other models. Therefore, it is reliable model, equally the model was created 38 years ago, and perhaps some of the categories may have been changed or modified over …show more content…
FCC will give full responsibility and control to Susan about her treatment in and out from the school. This can be achieved by introducing telehealthcare (Appendix 4). This is an electronic system that is personalised to patient’s healthcare needs and all of the data from and to patient, is collected and delivered over distance via any internet device (McLea, Protti, Sheikh) (2011).
In addition, since Susan’s father has asthma, her parents might have a good knowledge regarding asthma and how to support Susan at
The case study will identify a number if strategies to apply supportive approaches using the principals and practices of providing person-centred care, reflected against a real client situation within an organisational perspective. The case study is considering the situation with reflection of the two questions chosen from the Person-centred Care Assessment Tool. In relation to one’s ability to engage and be supported in the facilitation and management of person-centred care directives, within the role of a leisure and health officer.
These four concepts play a very important role throughout the care in every single patient we are in contact with. The concept of person is used to represent each individual patient, such as a man or a woman (Chitty & Black, 2014). In the nursing profession, we know that every person is different in their own way from many different factors such as, genetics and environment. As a nurse, we incorporate the different factors that make a person who they are today. According to Chitty & Black (2014), the concept of environment includes all the influences or factors that impact the individual. The environment plays an important role in either promoting or interfering with the patient’s health. The environment can consist of many different systems, such as family, cultural, social and community systems. All these different systems can play a role in the patient’s health. The third major concept of the metaparadigm is health. The concept of health varies from person to person and day-to-day with many different factors included (Chitty & Black, 2014). Health includes every part that makes a person whole, which includes being able to perform their everyday tasks in life effectively. The last concept of the metaparadigm is nursing. Nursing, being the final concept includes all the previous concepts of person, environment and health to create a holistic approach (Chitty & Black, 2014). The holistic approach promotes the well-being of the mind, body and spirit in our
Putting the person at the heart of care is one of the essential roles in developing person centred care. (Department of health, 2005)
Telehealth allows a lower-level healthcare practitioner to communicate with a physician or specialist when necessary. Remote rural areas use a Physician Assistant or a Nurse Practitioner on location in remote areas. When procedures call for a physician, an internet or satellite link provides a teleconference with a physician who can prescribe appropriate treatment (Gangon, Duplantie, Fortin & Landry 2006). This could be implemented in lower income urban areas, allowing free clinics to lower costs, and require fewer physicians. Programs that increase the level of healthcare available to school children could be increased.
I am going to approach this essay by discussing and addressing issues highlighted in the scenario presented and how this links with the questions given. I will also try to provide realistic solutions to these issues highlighted using evidence based theory and how this links in with collaborative person centred care. I will also relate Jane’s issues towards every persons needs in life. Social, psychological and Biological needs.
Holistic nursing care involves identifying the patient needs and implementing strategies in which addresses “the patient physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being (Doosey and Keegan, 2013). As a health care professional, helping the patient to achieve their optimal health through taking care of the patient as a whole, will allow the patient to heal. An interview was conducted on a close family member, Mrs. V.H. At times, she struggles with dealing and coping with some of the current symptoms of her illness. She faces a resource barrier within the community by only having one doctor office and hospital in the local area. Mrs. V.H. reports she does not feel comfortable with going to the doctor office or hospital when
Person Centred Care (PCC) is an important integrity in care, it develops patient- nurse relationship, enables increase in patient’s healthcare, development and satisfaction in the care provided. Research proves that modern day health care has incorporated the notion of patient-centred practise and empowerment regardless substantial encounters which hinders carrying out PCC in clinical practice (Ekman et al, 2011). To achieve a subsequent experience for a patient, routines need to be established to safeguard, initiate and incorporate consistency in practice. So, this essay will explore the definition of PCC, discuss four examples in context to PCC such as Communication, Confidentiality, Choice, and treating patients with dignity and respect.
This essay will explain what patient centred care is, how nurses use it in practice, the benefits of using it, and the barriers that need to be overcome to be able to use it, and the key principles of patient centred care. It will explain how patient centred care enables nurses to communicate and engage with the patients in a more effective way, and how it helps understand the uniqueness of each patient, which helps professionals avoid ‘warehousing’ patients (treating them all the same). It will also demonstrate how this type of care can help maintain the dignity of patients when nurses carry out tasks such as personal care. The Health Foundation describes patient centred care as being a type of health system where patients take control of their own care.
This is more holistic approach in the sense that it ‘involves the promotion of health, preventing of disease, the treatment of illness, the care for those who are disabled and continuous developm...
As a child with asthma, I have always required extra care from my family. My childhood was plagued by asthma, and the environment I lived in a decade ago only served to exacerbate my condition. My father, along with other family members, always cared for me quite intensively. It was my father, along with others in my family, who alleviated my symptoms and enabled me to live a slightly happier childhood. Sometimes I wondered what kind of magic my father had that made it possible for my sickness to subside. With childish curiosity, I observed what my family did at home and in the workplace. It was then that my family members began to influence me significantly.
Family assessment is an important concept to understand in nursing practice. Not only does it provide the nurse with information of the family itself, but it also provides insight on each individual within the family. According to Kaakinen (2015), family assessment is defined as a nursing intervention which, under the scope of nursing practice, fulfills the health care needs of patients and their families. In addition, this nursing family assessment can be utilized by categorizing the assessment into the family as a context, as a whole, as a system, and as a component of society.
Bronfenbrenner’s model involved how a person responded to their surroundings. It was all separated into four different systems. Growing up as a child, my family was always together and happy. Nothing ever seemed to put us down, not even the roughest times that impacted our lives. My family was together through ups and downs and they showed me that families should stay united no matter what circumstances occur. As a child, school always had a positive environment and it helped me learn so many things in life. My teachers were caring and a big help when it came to helping us learn. My teachers became like a family to me and school was like a second home. My peer group wasn’t too large, but they were a huge part of my life. My peer group was
Both approaches have the roots for caring, a universal characteristic that led to the formation of human society and is necessary for human survival. McCormack, McCance and Klopper (2017) defined person centred care as, “…a standing or status that is bestowed upon one human being by others, in the context of relationship and social being…” (p.17). This statement demonstrates that person-centred care and women-centred care are both underpinned by the values of respecting a person, women, individual’s right to self-determination, mutual respect and understanding. The foundation values from both bodies of practice are enabled by cultural empowerment that foster the essential skills required for effective communication (Stuart, 2017). Having the ability to provide person-centred care or women-centred care enhances the level of communication between the individuals, therefore providing a sense of a therapeutic relationship. Thus, being able to “… relate to patients sensitively, demonstrating a sincere and professional interest in the experiences and concern of each patients” (Clayson, 2007, pp. 59-60) is extremely important. To provide care for both the patients and women requires many skills of communication, but knowing how to communicate therapeutically will increase the relationship between both
Computers not only aid in the administration and organization of patient records, but in actual health care. The Internet has made a huge impact on the health care system. Health care on the Internet has become diverse and significantly present in the past two to three years. Throughout the years, Internet services for health care evolved. According to (Douglass K., 1997), during the first generation, uses of the Internet have been applications of information that describe products, and services that are available from health care providers. During the second generation, the Internet was used for transactions that involved electronic data exchanges, which includes purchasing prescription drugs. As technology advances, the third generation will involve the use of complex health management programs and the managing of clinical information.
