This section is all about care values. Also I will be using examples and explaining how my care workers implement the care values when caring for my chosen service user. I will be using primary and secondary research. The 5 main care settings are: Acknowledging personal beliefs and identity, anti- discriminatory practise, maintaining confidentiality of information, promoting effective communication and relationships and promoting and supporting an individual rights to dignity, independence, health and safety. Definition of care values: The care value base is a range of standards for health and social care. It is designed to guide the practise of professionals working in this area. The overall aim of the standards is to improve client’s quality …show more content…
-wearing gloves before treating a paitent. -wearing safety goggles in science. -fire drills. Independence. Services should always try to give the service users choice. With the right information and care the service user can still be in control of any decisions that have to be made. This empowers the service user and allows them independence. Dignity. Treating people with dignity is all about treating people with respect. Every consideration must be given to maintaining self-respect and privacy e.g. -curtains around people when they are underdressing. -private areas to speak in. -eye contact. -explaining treatments in a way we understand. I spoke to the nursery nurse about care values and how important they are and she said: Trust between the worker and the service user is hugely important. Workers often gather lots of information on those they work with. Protecting this information (personal details) is crucial. Confidently means not giving information about clients to anyone else, unless they have a good reason to do so. Sometimes it is necessary to breach (break) confidentiality. The 3 main reasons for this …show more content…
When you work with adults, children or people with additional needs you need to be able to explain things clearly. You also need to be able to speak to different abilities and age ranges. Listening and body language is an important part of communication. Braille and sign language are also used. This fits into the care services acknowledging personal beliefs and identity and also it could fit into promoting and supporting an individual rights to dignity, independence and health and safety. We are all different, for example we like different books, different music and different food. Some individuals may be different in their beliefs and in their customs, therefore professional care workers need to make sure they do not discriminate against those who have different values or beliefs to themselves. Everyone has the right to be treated equally regardless of ability, disability, gender or colour of skin. It is against the law to discriminate in this way. A nursery nurse has care values to make sure that the children are safe and happy. A caretaker has care values to make sure that everyone is safe and also make sure that no one has an
Dignity is a timeless desire and will always be chased by the human race. Compared to fame and revenge, dignity is a healthier ambition. Aristotle once said, “Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them” (How to regain your dignity, 2013).

Public Expectations: In Health and Social Care, the public expects employees/workers to be caring, respectful towards the patients protected characteristics which means avoiding conflicts such as discrimination and inequality treatments. They should be able to protect personal information of the patients by following the 'Data protection and Confidentiality Act 1998'. They are expected to give good supportive advice towards their patients and employees to improve the quality of work and welfare benefits. They expect higher standards of care, detailed information about their treatment, communication and involvement in decisions making activities and also access to the latest treatments (Thekingsfund,
The health and social care practitioner values, beliefs and experiences can influence their delivery of care by what they believe in and what they see as acceptable. It is important as a health practitioner to treat service users equally and to never allow their personal beliefs to affect their role of work. For example giving someone else a special treatment because you like them better and treating a client differently because they do not have the same religion/belief. Treating a service user badly because of their race or their personality is against the practise. The Human Rights Act 1998, The Equality Act of 2010, The Sex Discrimination Act 1975, Equal Opportunities Act 2004 are all legislations that link with equality and diversity. All these acts should be
Health and social care professionals encounter a diverse amount of individuals who have different needs and preferences regarding their health. As professionals they must ensure that all services users, whether it is older people with dementia, an infant with physical disabilities or an adult with an eating disorder (National Minimum Data Set for Social Care, [no date]), are treated in a way that will successfully meet such needs. In fact, health and social care professionals have a ‘duty of care’ towards services users, as well as other workers, in which they must legally promote the wellbeing of individuals and protect them against harm, abuse and injury. (The Care Certificate Workbook Standard 3, [no date]) Duty of care is a legal requirement
Having a positive care environment ensures that each service user is given choice, treated in a fair manner, with dignity, respect, privacy and are empowered to make decisions that promote their own sense of wellbeing. (Miller, J, 2015) (Gibb and Miller, 2007)
These ‘ways’ are meant serve in offering the best quality of service and are protecting the users of the service as well as the care worker.
Professional values that are incorporated into my nursing practice include veracity, kindness, support and understanding. It is important to be honest with patients and help them set realistic goals during their recovery process.

The limitation of human contact due to the use of technology has had a negative affect on lives. People are constantly relying on technology without realizing that it leads to distracted driving, loss of jobs, and less attentive children. Everyday, innocent lives are taken due to fatal accidents involving the use of technology. Distracted driving is the number one reason why people should not focus completely on devices. Before technology had a huge affect on lives, people mainly focused on communication. It can be the easiest way to personally talk to someone, but technology provides shortcuts and saves more time throughout the day. The dependence of technology has led many to rely mainly on devices, leading to isolation from the real
Healthcare professionals lack experience and education on how to work with hospitalized patients with intellectual disabilities (reference). Admittance into the hospital can put a lot of stress on individuals with ID as well as their caregivers, and the healthcare professionals involved. Balancing the needs of individuals with intellectual disabilities is a challenge for many professionals throughout the hospital due to multiple factors have produced years of social oppression, institutional discrimination, and attitudinal barriers. Communication is the key to maintaining a seamless flow between health care professionals and their special need patients. By advocating for a reform in training of health care professions, this would help with increasing the quality of services provided for those with intellectual
I think it is important that I clarify my own values to ensure that my care is client-centered. Self- reflection during care is also fundamental as it makes me aware of my actions and whether they are establishing a therapeutic relationship or doing the opposite.. Finally, I need to learn to be more empathetic towards my patient’s situations by being interactive, gaining insight and avoid being focused on the task and more on being with the situation. Some things that I will preserve are attentively listening, demonstrating attending behaviours and maintaining my patient’s dignity by ensuring privacy and
Within each individual are core values developed throughout life, and shaped by our personal families, cultures, traditions, and religions. Personal core values are vital because they show our beliefs regarding truth and our behavior toward others. My personal core values include integrity, empathy, and compassion. Throughout this paper, I will elaborate on my core values, give my personal beliefs of the components of the nursing metaparadigm, and the way my values and beliefs have affected my nursing care.
Dignity promotes value and respect for an individual’s esteem and is personalized because it correlates with cultural and societal norms; “Dignity is a fundamental human right. It is about feeling and/or being treated and regarded as important and valuable in relation to others. Dignity is a subjective, multi-dimensional concept, but also has shared meaning among humanity” (Clark, 2010, para. 16).
