They may find it difficult to carry out physical tasks due to sensory loss. A person is unique and may have had different life experiences which means the way dementia affects them is personal to them. They have different likes/ dislikes and needs so we must try to meet these the best we can. 1.3 A person with dementia may feel excluded from society because the way they are treated by other's. They may not be given the oppourtunity to be involved just because other's haven't got the time of day for them.
WINTERBOURNE VIEW The review found that there was a systemic failure to protect people or to investigate allegations of abuse. The provider had failed in its duty to notify the C.Q.C(Quality Care Commission) of serious incidents involving injuries to patients, or occasions when they had gone missing. Inspectors said that staff did not appear to understand the needs of the people in their care, adults with learning disabilities , complex needs and challenging behaviour. Staff who had no background in care services had been recruited, references were not always checked and staff were not trained or supervised properly. Some staff were too ready to use methods of restraint without considering alternatives.
As described earlier in my reflective account (ci) a good example of practice which excludes the individual and is discriminatory is being ignored whilst having a bed bath – the lack of privacy and dignity had a lasting effect on me. Patients of a different culture/religion could be excluded. They could be discriminated against because the carers don’t believe in or simply don’t understand their faith. They may discriminate against this person because or they don’t respect the way they dress or don’t provide the right food for that religion. Avoiding people who are different, such as those with a mental/physical disability or those of a different culture, is classed as discriminatory practice.
Discriminatory practices are very influential on the people that use health and social care services; I will explain these effects and give examples. (1) Marginalisation is when you feel like you are not liked within a group or in other words you don’t feel like you are a part of a group or society.In health and social care everyone should be treated equal and marginalisation is not allowed. An example of this is a youth worker excluding a homosexual teenager based on his sexuality. (1) Disempowerment is to make someone feel devalued this could happen to either an individual or groups. The victim could be discriminated by a valued group/individual or powerful group/individual.
However, this may lead to mistrust between medical professionals and the disabled individual, leaving the individual feeling abandoned, isolated and let down. The medical model would exclude disabled individuals from mainstream society as they are viewed as vulnerable and ‘at risk’. This gives them limited opportunities to meet new people, develop relationships, have control over their own finances and decisions and leaves them lacking confidence. Social
P3: Describe the potential effects of discriminatory practice on those who use health or social care services. Include the following and look at how they can result in a loss of right: Marginalisation is one of the effects of discriminatory practice. It is a social division of some people from the large society. People are separated from the society because of their age, disability, culture or social class. If people are separated from the society they will feel isolated and could lead to depression, anxiety, eating disorders, financial problems and/or health problems.
Staff who had no involvement in the actions taken towards the residents, but failed to comply with the agreed ways of working and report what they knew was wrong is just as much to blame as those who were involved. As carers/staff they have a role to live up to and as their duty they must abide by the set standards even if that means “dogging in their friends” as some people would like to call it. The report concludes
Those within the society that were sick would be seen as a barrier that stops society from progressing. These people were also seen as deviant & their role in society was labelled the ‘sick role’ which also came with rights & responsibilities. If you were declared sick you were immune from going to: school, college, work and social & family obligations. This also made responsibilities for the family as Parsons believed it was a key function and their duty to care for the other sick or dependent members of the family. However, just because one is labelled ‘sick’ in society this does not mean they are free of responsibilities.
A weakness could be that the service user does not want to discuss their thoughts and feelings. Also as the disease progresses the service users will not be able to be able to provide an answer to the therapist which could mean it is a misuse of money for
These stereotypes are making them seem like a genius, a beast, that they can’t hold sexual relationships, and the butt of a joke. The medical model of disability is somewhat strange and hard to understand. Judgment is based off of the person’s development be it mental or physical. When these judgments are made, people are classified as a problem to be fixed or just as an injured person who has no hope in fitting in. People with a disability are seen and said to be a personal problem to the family.
