1.1 Explain how principles of support are applied to ensure that individuals are cared for in health and social care practice Firstly, Principles of support are very important and have to be applied in order to ensure that individuals are adequately cared for within the health and social care practice. According to (Oxford Dictionary, 2013).Principal of practice can be described as fundamental truth which influences individuals’ behaviour towards others. Moreover, Principles can also be defined as rules and regulations or codes of conduct that health and social care professionals have to comply with in order to deliver an excellence care service to service users. In health and social care settings there are Principles of support …show more content…
It also involves not being able to participate in economic, social, political or cultural activities available to the majority of people in a society. Social exclusion affects the standard of living of individuals as well as social cohesion and equity (www.poverty.ac.uk 2013). Factors leading to marginalisation, isolation and exclusion are poverty, unemployment, poor health, disability, lack of education and other sources of disadvantage. All these factors have been associated with ill health, either directly or indirectly. For example, poverty creates ill – health because it forces people to live in environments that make them sick, without decent shelter, clean water or adequate sanitation. Most of clients from St Mungos (which cares for the homeless) are victims of poverty, unemployment, little or no education and one form of disability or the other. Many were sleeping rough on the streets before being admitted into the home. Many lost their jobs or are unable to secure jobs due to criminal record and lack of education or employable skills. Many are products of broken homes and became involved in crime, alcoholism and drug misuse. All these led to their becoming victims of social exclusion. Hence, at St Mungos the understanding of social processes and the effects on clients underlies the provision of personalised services based on individual circumstances and
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 five key principles of care practice is to ‘Support people in having a voice and being heard,’ (K101, Unit 4, p.183). The key principles are linked to the National Occupational Standards for ‘Health and Social Care’. They are a means of establishing and maintaining good care practice. Relationships based on trust and respect should be developed between care receivers and care givers, thus promoting confidence whilst discussing personal matters without fear of reprisal and discrimination.
84). Seven assumptions are the foundation for the Theory of Transpersonal Caring. The first assumption states that the nurse has the moral commitment to protect and enhance the human dignity of the patient. Second, caring is respecting the subjective and spiritual needs of the patient during times of despair, honoring “an I-Thou Relationship rather than an I-It Relationship”(Alligood, 2014, p. 84). For example, honoring his or her needs, routines, or rituals. The theory’s third assumption states that effective caring is accomplished by establishing human connection. The nurse must seek to connect with the inner spirit of another by being present in the moment. The fourth assumption discusses the importance of honoring the wholeness of the person. Watson’s fifth assumption is about finding one’s inner harmony. “The nurse helps another through this process to access the healer within” (Alligood, 2014, p. 85). Assumption six focuses on the practice of caring. Continued growth in physical and mental well-being are essential to advance nursing practice. The nurse’s personal history and knowledge gained from worldly experiences shapes the way he/she may practice. Lastly, the seventh assumption states that the practice of caring is ongoing, and a central part to both nursing and Jean Watson’s Theory of Caring (Alligood,
Day to day, health and social carer are in touch with legislation, policies and procedures. The aim of the social carer is to provide a qualitative service to the individual. This case study will consider how principles are implemented in the work setting. How policies and procedures protect the client as well as the service provider. What kind of ethical dilemmas and conflicts can arise by providing support or care, in health and social care service. In this essay there will be a lot of examples based on a real case regarding the workplace. Some parts of the essay are fictitious, to underpin the impact of the service provider to the individual. To protect the client; the name is changed as well as other data’s.
Many believe that a common thread among the homeless is a lack of permanent and stable housing. But beyond that, the factors leading to homelessness and the services that are needed are unique according to the individual. To put them into one general category ? the homeless- suggests that people are homeless for similar reasons and therefore a single solution is the answer. Every homeless person shares the basic needs of affordable housing, adequate incomes and attainable healthcare. But a wide range of other unmet needs cause some people to become or remain homeless which include drug treatment, employment training, transportation, childcare and mental health services (Center 8.)
Social and economic circumstances: The capacity of an individual to develop and flourish is profoundly influenced by their immediate social surroundings – including their opportunity to engage positively with family members, friends or colleagues, and earn a living for themselves and their families – and also by the socio-economic circumstances in which they find themselves. Restricted or lost opportunities to gain an education and income are especially pertinent socio-economic factors. (WHO, 2012, p. 3)
Content 1.1 how principle and support are applied to ensure individuals are cared for in health and social care practice.
There are changes in the demographic as the population grows older, the number of older adult’s increases and thus, there is an increase of proportion of patients that are older adults for nurses to take care of (Wells, Y., Foreman, P., Gething, L., & Petralia, W., 2004). The nurses are there to assist and support the older adults in achieving wellness within their situation through empowering the clients (Touhy, et al (2012). Caring for older adults is important as there is an increase in population with deteriorating health. When caring for a client it is important to incorporate Jean Watson’s caring theories and Carative Factors to help influence and support the care. She encourages nurses to co-participate within the caring process by establishing unity and trust between the nurse and client. First, this paper will explain a situation in where I cared for an older adult and it will then introduce Jean Watson’s lower order needs, specifically the need for activity and how it relates to the older adult I cared for. Lastly, this paper will explain the nursing interventions I implemented to meet the lower order need, with a discussion of Carative Factor #4 relating to the client.
Within this essay, I will critically analyse an OSCE I undertook, which has increased my awareness, and challenged my understanding in assessing the holistic needs of a service user (John), referred by his GP, whilst incorporating a care plan using the Care Programme Approach (CPA). By utilising this programme and other sources of current literature, I hope to demonstrate my knowledge and understanding in relation to this skill as well as identifying areas with scope for learning.
The socially excluded are those who receive inadequate support from public institutions and whose opportunities remain constrained due to structural and cultural factors. Exclusion arises from multiple sources, some endogenous and some exogenous. Social exclusion from immutable factors, such as gender, ethnicity, and race, contributes to low educational participation for girls and members of subgroups. Social exclusion from external factors, such as poverty, contributes to low educational participation and to

Deprivation is a condition that applies to all underprivileged people and that the concept of relative deprivation has important consequences for both behaviour and attitudes, including feelings of stress, political attitudes and participate in collective action (Bayert, 1999). The ecological model emphasizes on how the conditions of social, cultural, political, built and natural environments greatly affect human health (Lawrence, 1999& 2000; Tsouros and Barton, 2000 in OPHA,
Social exclusion is defined as being incapable to retrieve which society do not consider.
