Person centred values should always influence all aspects of the health and social care setting because it focuses more on the individuals rights and how they wished to be cared for, because no residents would like the same care, for example one resident would prefer a shower on a Tuesday afternoon rather than the Sunday morning as another resident might prefer, as well as acknowledging the fact that their needs and wants may change. A person centred approach focuses on that person and allows them to receive the best quality of care whilst promoting independence as well as thinking about that individual, rather than fitting their care around the service and what’s best or less time consuming for the staff. Person centred values must influence …show more content…
all aspects of the health and social care because it teaches the staff to focus on the needs of an individual and how all their needs and wants, we as staff needs to do to meet their needs, again because needs and the care given to the individual would not be the same as the needs and care of another resident within that setting. Just because they may suffer from the same condition such as dementia, because the care we give them must be beneficial for the individual, not the staff or the setting. The person centred values should promote their independence, their wellbeing as well as their social, emotional, psychological and physical health as much as possible, as well as providing and including them in different activities that they may like, in able to give them a choice if they would like to participate. Again all these should be done for the individual and not for the staff and service. 1.2 Care plans are very important when applying person centred values because it is put in place to show what they like doing and what sort of care they will need from the care staff, and although care plans are very similar, the individuals and their care needs are completely different.
As care plans includes all sort of details such as what they prefer, and dislike as well as their medical history so we as care practitioners are acknowledged of what to do if anything happens such as who to contact in emergency etc. Again, an individual’s care plans has their history of their background such as previous interests and hobbies for us to know what activities they would most likely participate in, also shows information about their family, for example, were they were married, if they have any children or grandchildren etc. By gaining all this sort of information about them, not only improves the way that they are cared for but also able us to interact with them about their past as well as making conversation will show that we are interested in their lives so that we can empathise with them and not just be there to …show more content…
work. 3.1 When working as a care practitioner, it is very important that we ask the individuals for consent and looking at it very carefully because different individuals may be able to give consent differently to others. As individuals may have different abilities and capacity they may suffer from physical or mental inabilities or lack of capacity to understand what we are asking them then give consent and agreement without realising what they have done. As every individual have the right to make up their own choices and decisions, if the individuals have full capacity to actually give consent, but every individual should always be supported to make their own choices. There are a few factors that can influence the capacity of an individual to express their consent such as individuals suffering from dementia, because again they make time to process what we have asked them, or not able to understand what we have asked them and this may influence their capacity to express their consent as they may have lost their capacity to talk or they may have forgotten that they have given consent. An individual suffering from numerous types of disabilities such as learning disabilities can influence the way individuals speak or communicate with others therefor can affect the capacity of that individual to give consent. Individuals who suffer from sensory loss such as deafness, loss of eyesight or deaf blind, can also lack the capacity to give consent due to the fact that they may not be able to communicate effectively or understand people who try to communicate with them. Other factors that can influence the capacity of an individual to express their consent is the choices that is available for them, such as the activities that they would like to take part in and what is actually available for them, because they may not like to participate in certain hobbies and activities but haven’t been able communicate to say no. 3.3 There are a few different steps to take if an individual cannot give consent but we as carers should always remember that the individuals always has the right to change their mind after they have given consent.
For example if one of our resident has given us consent to assist them with personal care and once started they refuse or change their mind we must immediately stop and leave them to it for a little while and go back to see if they need any more assistance. If consent cannot be established for an activity or an assist, we must always respect this and write down in reports and rounding’s charts that they have refused, and is done to protect the staff fro, any sort of legal action that could be taken against them, as well as protects the rights of that individual as we cannot force them to take part in an activity that they don’t like. For us to ensure that we get the correct and positive consent, we need to make sure that we communicate effectively with our residents and making sure that they understand what information that we give and ask them, because if they do not understand they may give the wrong consent, as well as this we should always give them options to choose from, and always need to look out and listen for any delayed responses or checking to see if they are comfortable with the decision that they have made as they may take time to process the question or information asked. As health care professionals we should get to know the individuals preferences and
health conditions for us to get to know them and what they are likely to give consent to, as well as what to do if they are actually unable to give consent, such as what is best for them as individuals, but we should always ensure that consent is given before doing anything, and if it is refused then it should be stated. 4.1 There are different ways for health and social care professionals to apply active participation to meet individual’s needs because everyone has the right to participate in different activities that is available for them and as independently as they can be. This can be done through small things such as encouraging them into the conversations such as ask them questions and also choices for them to be able to think and answer independently also provide them with information about their hobbies such as for example, a resident is interested in football and supports a certain team, and we are unable to show them the game so we look into the matches to tell them that that team has one on that weekend etc. for them to feel informed if unable to watch the game. We can also tell them the importance of active participation and the positives such as they will see and meet new faces as well as learn new things, also to exercise the brain and socialize with others. Active participation helps individuals to achieve old and new goals as well as promoting independence with different activities guiding them if they may need assistance. Active participation includes including them in everyday activities whatever disabilities or inabilities that they may have and not trying to exclude them from any activities because we think they may be ‘unsuitable’ or think that they won’t like it, or we should never make them feel guilty for taking them to participate. If an individual may not participate in an activity because they are having a bad day, we should not exclude them next time or not encourage them to participate the second time because they may be in good spirits and would like to participate this time round. We should never assume that an individual wouldn’t or would like to participate in an activity because we might think we know them well as they might like to try a new hobby or a new activity to pass the time or feel less isolated and that’s why we should always encourage individuals to actively participate in different activities. 5.4 Before supporting an individual to question or challenge decisions concerning them that are made by others we should always look into all the information about the decision and why was the individual not allowed to make the decision for themselves, and if we as staff believe that this is wrong we should encourage and support the individual to challenge this decision if they believe that its unfair or if it’s against their will. To support the individual to question or challenge decisions concerning them that are made by others, we should always give them all the information that we have gained and provide them with the other decisions that they are able to make or give them the positives and negatives of the decision that is made for them by others so they may feel more comfortable or agree with the decision made. Although every individual has the right to make their own choices and decisions, exceptions have been made if DOLs are in place. If we staff are uncertain of what to do or how to help the individual challenge the decision that is made for them, it is best that we report it to a more senior member of staff or even the manager, for them to be able to assist and help. We should always write down and report all steps that have been taken. Others who might be able to make decisions about them may include family members, GP’s, other care practitioners, social workers and psychiatrists. If this does occur then we must always listen to what the individual has to get across as well as support the individual to get a second opinion and we must always follow the complaints procedures.
This was followed up by changes in the department of health where people were to be given more choice over what services they needed. The National service framework further increased the need for individualised services that related to a person’s needs rather than fitting into existing services. The care standards act 2000 developed the need to develop individualised service provision for people and for services to adapt to these needs. Person centred care was then incorporated into many policies to promote independence and the rights and choices of
D1: I have decided to look at a 6 year old going through bereavement. Bereavement means to lose an individual very close to you. When children go through bereavement they are most likely to feel sad and upset about the person’s death. Children at a young age may not understand when a family member dies. Children may not understand bereavement. For example a 6 year old’s father been in a car crash and has died from that incident. Death is unpredictable and children can’t be prepared for a death of a family member as no one knows when someone is going to die or not. Unfortunately every child can experience bereavement even when a pet dies. It is important that we are aware that effects on the child so we can support them in the aftermath.
The definition of person centred care is to include an individual receiving treatment in all aspects and decisions of both their healthcare treatment and recovery care plan. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (2008) state that nurses should ‘make the care of the people your first concern, treating them as individuals and respecting their dignity’. In 2012, the Scottish government introduced The 10 Essential Shared Capabilities (10 Escs) It has been created to promote and reflect on progressing policy and legislation to improve person centred care, values and beliefs in Scotland. Person centred care is a driving force not only within mental health nursing but all nursing. Whilst the service user and the nurse build a therapeutic relationship and develop a care plan, which is to the service users owns specific needs and wants. It ensures th...
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.
Content 1.1 how principle and support are applied to ensure individuals are cared for in health and social care practice.
A care relationship is special and requires skill, trust and understanding. This essay will elaborate how the quality of that relationship affects the quality of the care given and the experiences felt in receiving care. These different relationships will depend on the type of care given, who the care is given by and what sort of previous existing relationship there was to begin with. For a good care relationship to work it needs to follow the 5 K101 principles of care practice which are 'support people in maximising their potential','support people in having a voice and being heard','respect people's beliefs and preferences','support people's rights to appropriate services' and 'respect people's privacy and right to confidentiality'.(K101,Unit 4,p.183). If all of these needs are met a far exceptional quality of relationship between the carer and care receiver will be achieved.
One of the major developments in care would have to be the range of learning and training opportunities for people who now work in care or who want to work in care. They have to have certain qualifications and meet specific requirements for the role they want to take. Therefore this would ensure them becoming a good care worker. Therefore the care of people with mental health issues has changed dramatically for the better since the 19th
Taking this into consideration the nurse began to carry out a risk assessment and care plan to address the issues recognised. According to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) (2015) health and social care staff should identify the specific needs of people with dementia and their carers arising from ill health, physical disability, sensory impairment, communication difficulties, problems with nutrition, poor oral health and learning disabilities. Care plans should record and address these
Person centred care is defined as health care professionals work together for people who use the health care services. Person centred care also helps to support the patient’s knowledge and also helps the patient to develop an understanding of their health condition and also gives them the confidence to effectively manage and make educated decisions about their own health and also the health care in which they receive. (Health Foundation 2014). This suggests that each individual needs to be treated with the same amount of respect and they also need to be treat equally. Furthermore, the RCN (2015) argue that important principles of Person Centred Care are respect, dignity and compassion. As professional it is important that
The purpose of this Reflective assignment is to demonstrate how the application of the Registered Nurses standards for practise (2016) can be used in reflective practise. The Registered Nurses standards of Practise (2016) states that RN’s should develop their practise through reflecting on experiences, knowledge, actions, their feelings and beliefs and recognise how these factors shape professional practise(RNSP, 1.2).Reflection allows individuals to look back on their day-to-day situations and how they made us react and feel; what we would change if we had the chance, to create a different outcome; and what we would do next time to enhance the way we conduct ourselves in a professional manner.
Individuality. It implies in regarding them as individual, concentrating on their needs, capacities and accomplishments. It implies esteeming who they are, what they are occupied with and what they can in any case do, not on the way that they have dementia hence needn't bother to have the same attention as normal individual. It is also treating them with respect and dignity.
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.
Putting the person at the heart of care is one of the essential roles in developing person centred care. (Department of health, 2005)
The NHS will shape its service around the needs and preferences of individual patients, their families and their carers.
Person-centred care is the treatment and care provided by any health service. This particular concept places the person at the centre of their own care and considers the needs of the individual and the surrounding family members. At the core of this concept is getting to know the patient as a person look beyond the illness and build a therapeutic relationship with both the patient and the surrounding family members and carers. Talking to the patient finding out what their preferences are to the care you’re providing. Working within the person centred approach you should be flexible Meeting patients' individual needs while respecting values, preferences and needs. ,making sure that you keep your patient informed about the treatment that they are receiving.
