1.2 Person centred values influence all aspects of social care work as it is these values
that decide and shape the way in which you care for an individual. It is also a legal
requirement as part of the human rights act 1998 and therefore must be adhered to at
all times in your work. It helps to prevent discrimination and prejudice and premote

relating to their care, treatment and lifestyle. 1.3 There are eight person centred values to be adhered to. • Individuality. • Rights. • Choice. • Privacy. • Independence. • Dignity. • Respect. • Partnership.
You must remember these values at all times when providing care for any individual and
make sure you meet all of that persons needs when in contact with them.
2.1 An individual is someone requiring care or support.
Knowing an individual's history is very helpful as it will tell you something about what their
particular preferences, wishes and needs might be. This information helps contribute and
can always be found in their ongoing care plan.
2.2 in a complex situation knowing a persons preferences can be useful.
You could use this information to bring a calming influence on a challenging situation or as a
reward for good behaviour.
All of which reinforces good and positive behaviour and has a positive influence on the
individuals life.
2.3. A care plan is a good way to apply person centred values as it provides information to
all people and care workers about the individual and how they prefer to be cared for.

2.4 We must monitor and pay attention to the individuals needs and preferences as these
may change from time to time and if so this must be used to update the persons ongoing
care plan.
2.5. There are many factors that influence the capacity of an individual to express consent.
These can

include. • Mental conditions I.e. Mental capacity. • Physical conditions I.e communication abilities. • Availability or lack of options. • Awareness of choices. • Age. • Participation. • Engagement. 3.2. Consent can be in different forms and includes the following. • Vocal. • Written. • Via a representative or advocate. 3.3. We must take steps when consent cannot be established and these include. • Not continuing with the task. • Reporting to the supervisor or managers. • Recording the information. 4.1. The principals behind active participation are about supporting your service users to have an active role in their own care and try to solve their own problems as much as possible. 4.2. Active participation helps the service user feel involved and empowered in their care and support and also helps with their intellectual, emotional and social development and requirements so they can make decisions and choices within their own care. I.e. Deciding on an activity and who will assist in the task or be present to support them in their social requirements. 4.3 The main ways of encouraging and implementing active participation are. • Discussion and encouragement with the individual. • Providing useful information and choice. • Using friends and family to encourage. • Ensuring appropriate activities. • Peer group encouragement . • Persuasion techniques. • Highlighting the benefits of the activity. • Recording the outcome. In my service users case I would include the use of rewards and benefits of eating healthy for his own health and also going out frequently as he is quite hesitant to go out S. Kent 13.6.16 and prone to just want to laze around and watch tv. I would explain this to him so he understands that just staying in is boring and unhealthy for him. The encouragement would be as above and the rewards may be a treat and obviously he would enjoy himself! 5.1. Make all available information available to the individual about any activity, explaining that it is their choice and highlight the benefits of it and what they would gain from participating in it. 5.2. First you must establish the individuals mental capacity because if they had any mental condition or impairment you would have to seek outside permission before addressing the issue.
In most cases however asking the individual what decisions they are unhappy about
would be the first step.
Then ask what they would want to happen so it is clear when dealing with the issue.
Lastly arrange for them to speak to the care planner and encourage them to speak and
say how they feel and what they want.
If they should want to make a complaint use your complaints procedure.
5.3 The consequences of an individual making the choice may make a decision that they
might later regret or worse have a devastating impact on their lives is always present.
uTherefore a person should never make decision based solely on the views of other
people or other outside influences.
They should have all the relevant information available to them and be able to decide
for themselves what action is right for them and how they feel about what their actions
will mean.
6.1. Identity is essentially who you are.
Factors important to your identity are things such as..
• Self image – This is how you feel you would like to appear to others.
• Self esteem- Very important as this is the confidence you have in your
identity and self image to premote to the outside world. All these are strongly linked to a persons confidence and their emotional well being. These factors could also contribute to a persons in well being. • Spiritual – Some individuals have spiritual beliefs in which they cling to for their own support in times of trouble or just as reassurance. • Emotional- this is obviously an important part of a persons well being as bad emotions can premote bad behaviour and poor mental stability. • Cultural- This is a big part of a persons identity and is something that they can always fin solace in because it is part of their background. • Religious- Many individuals use religion as a way of guiding themselves and reassuring themselves on what they believe is right and wrong in life. This if is the case should be encouraged and supported. • Social- A persons social life can also have a strong impact on their lives as a whole. Many individuals need friends and a strong social circle in their lives to feel empowered and encouraged in their choices in life. S. Kent 13.6.16 • Political. A persons political beliefs can be very important to them. As with spirituality and religion it is a belief system that can strongly influence a persons decisions and outlook on their life. 6.3. All the above factors must be taken in to consideration when we support an individual as these are part of their identity and chiefly what makes them an individual and unique. This is something that must always be nurtured. 6.4. The saying Contributing to a persons well being is the official way of saying-Treating that person or persons the way in the way which you would want someone else to treat you. All of the following factors coincide with how to treat an individual. • Being treated as an individual - Everyone is individual and have their own beliefs and values in life and this must be remembered when caring for any person. • Dignity and respect – This is an important thing to remember when caring for any individual as it is everybody's human right to be treated with dignity and respect. • Choices – It is important to remember to try and involve the person you are caring for in the decisions made for him as we are trying to encourage individuality and independence in the people we care for. • Good communication – This of course is important between you and the individual you care for as this will premote confidence in you from the client and also avoid confusion. All these should be remembered both in physical and social environments. Physical – This could include things such as an individual's bedroom, handbag and personal belongings. Social – This includes things such as personal boundaries, subjective feelings etc. 7.1. The use of risk assessments is an important thing as it can identify and correct anything that may be a personal risk to you or your service user. This will include the following factors. • Mobility. • Personal hygiene. • Outings. Risk assessment uses include the following. • Accident prevention. • Prevention of injury to individuals. • Prevention of injury to workers and others. • Description of procedure or steps. • To meet legal requirements. 7.2. Risk assessments are important as they relate also to rights and responsibilities in the following ways. • Legal requirements. • Prevention from danger and harm. • Clear guidance or instruction. S. Kent 13.6.16 7.3. Risk taking relates to rights and responsibilities in many ways and these are a big part of our care towards our service users. The following are some of the ways in which risk taking relates. • Freedom of choice – It is part of our responsibility as carers to allow our service users freedom to make their own choices but this must be intervened when the service users choice would put him/her in danger of injury or harm. • Maintaining independence. This relates in much the same way as freedom of choice. • Maintaining dignity and respect. 7.4. Risk assessments need to be regularly revised for many reasons. The following are the most important reasons for this. • Ensuring that they are up to date. • Ensure they prevent risk of injury or harm to the individual, workers and you. • Take account of changing needs and preferences to the individual. • Take account of any changes in equipment. 7.5. Risk assessments must be agreed before being used in practice as it is the law. It is also our duty to provide care for our service users in a way that prevents harm and also promotes their individuality and dignity which helps in their development and is the individuals personal right. Also their personal preferences and choices must be included.
The first step is a community care assessment, which is usually arranged by the local authority's
Person centred care means basing the care and support of a person around them. Looking at things from their perspective, promoting their beliefs, preference, likes and dislikes. They are involved in the development of their support plans, risk assessments and what they want to achieve. They determine what they want and how they want things doing. It promotes their individual needs and what is important to them. We listen to the individual and find out about their wishes and look at ways of carrying this out as safely as possible. We work with the individual, their families and others to empower the individual and to promote independence in their lives and ensure that the individual is supported to maintain their lives as they
For the case study one considered the overall working environment of the organisation, with a particular client situation to apply the case study arguments around. This client was experiencing a catastrophic reaction to an event. One applied an integrated person-centred approach which considered meeting their needs by listening to the issue, and working with the person, and their family, as well as care staff, Registered Nurses (RN’s) and the Director of Nursing (DON). In order to find a resolution and meet the client’s needs. As well as, adding to their care plan strategies to assist with future behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). This particular situation fit perfectly within the two questions of; does the organisation prevent me from providing person-centred care, and do we have formal team meetings to discuss residents’ care.

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
Within the nursing situation, the shared lived experience of caring enhances personhood (Alligood 2014). Boykin and Schoenhofer’s meaning of caring is being lived out moment to moment; and it is in the intimacy of caring that respect for self and respect for others are the values that confirm personhood (Alligood 2014).
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.
The Theory of Human Caring was initialy based on data about variety of aspects of caring, collected through open – ended quistionnaire. The purpose of this research was to evaluate different points of view, expressed by both the clients and registered nurses. In addition to this data, Watson’s theory uses broadly recognized work from other disciplines. Specific philosophers cited by Watson, as sources are Rogers, Whitehead, Gadow, Yalom etc. Furthermore, she also recognises the contribution of the east...

Values, although tend to be stable, they can be changed or can be developed because values have cognitive, affective and behavioural components (Baillie & Black, 2015). Potter and Perry (2014) added that values influence behaviour basing on a conviction that a certain action is right depending on the given circumstances. Culture, society and personality were identified by Rokeach (1973, as cited in Baillie & Black, 2015) as key precedent of human values. Furthermore, as a person becomes more aware of and reflective about him/herself, he/she can consider to change his/her value set and will also result in modifying his/her attitudes and behaviour. By understanding one’s own personal values, he or she will become sensitive to the values of others. Values are important in nursing and health care as they strengthen all aspects of professional practice, including decision-making (Baillie & Black, 2015). The key factors influencing values in nursing include professional education, training and
The individual will also have set out a care plan with the care provider which analyses all of the individuals needs and outlines a plan for which carers they want to care for them. The care plan will be created with the individual present and will outline all their needs and wishes and preferences. Personalisation also allows or the individual to have total control over the hours they have each day and how they use them. This means the individual can have more hours to suit their
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
The six core values of social work should guide and impact how social workers act and treat their clients. A social worker must show anyone who they come in contact with that they are valued by serving, standing up against injustices, letting them know they have inherent worth, teaching them the importance of healthy human relationships, having integrity, and being competent. These values are necessary to apply not only to the professional areas but in our daily
