Difficulties that may arise when implementing anti-discriminatory practice and ways of overcoming the difficulties in health and social care In this unit so far I have looked at ways in which individuals should be treated in health and social care settings. I have also looked at legislation, policies and discrimination. In health and social care, it is important to be careful with what you say and do. This is so that you do not cause offence to anyone or discriminate against a certain individual or group of individuals. It is important to promote anti-discriminatory practice when working in health and/or social care settings however; when you are implementing this, there can be some difficulties.
2.1 Explain how finding out the history, preferences, wishes and needs of an individual contributes to their care plan The care plan is about the individual and their preferences, needs and wishes It should give information to others. Talking to the client about their past will enable the care plan to be completed accurately and reflect the individual and their preferences, needs and wishes, the more you know about the client the better the care plan can be adapted to that client. 2.2 Describe ways to put person-centred values into practice in a complex or sensitive situation Distressing, traumatic and frightening times are likely to have serious
These methods may help the experts in developing sound strategies when providing treatments to the intended products. Questionnaires, observation, and interviews are the main forms of data collection that may be applied by professionals in the health care industry for testing products before they are injected thus reducing the level of infections received during treatments. Some infections occur due to the fact that professionals in health care are not serious or they become negligence when offering services to patients, (Spector, 2012). These forms of data collection may be used for the purpose of getting the required information before offering services to the products. Physicians and doctors are supposed to do enough observations when handling patients or products in need of injection so as to determine the quality of services they are supposed to be offered.
This is why diagnosis and treatment is so important. Keeping medical staff up to date on the monitoring of patients for this condition is what is going to save the patient from possible long term complications such as amputation or even death. Making sure that the patient has this information after an injury is also important to ensure that they are monitoring their selves for complications and calling for assistance if needed. Making sure that patients understand the terminology of compartment syndrome or where to access information online is also an important step to help with this
Family members are also included in planning and maintaining, which means its personal and private to the people whom really know the person. This can mean putting the person’s needs above those recognized as priorities by healthcare professionals. In order to achieve person-centred care, health workers need to understand the lives of their patients and their relatives. Individuals with learning, physical disabilities and mental health issues are more vulnerable for changes, so its important to include PCP (person-centred planning). When you’re communicating with individuals, make sure you
Excellent communication skills are needed not only to interact with the patients but to relate diagnosis and treatment plans with patient’s families and other staff members. RNs must be able to solve problems. They need to be able to combine several pieces of information and draw conclusions. They need to be able to observe when something is wrong or likely to go wrong and notify the doctor promptly. RNs are in the role of leadership.
The Humanistic Approach, Psychodynamic Approach, Behavioural Approach and the Cognitive Approach are well known and positively used in health care settings, but before any of these approaches can be put into place with a service user the health care worker/team must make sure that they are applying the correct one. This can be achieved by knowing the individual, knowing about their past, ensuring that the staff involved are trained appropriately and competent in their role, what risks will be presented and are they acceptable, will intervention be required and what techniques can be used, and will this approach help alleviate the current problems. It is also desireable that the carers are sympathetic, non-judgemental, patient, kind, and friendly and have excellent communications with colleagues. The Humanistic Approach highlights the significance of the individuals belief about themselves and their own personal values. It reflects the human need to achieve the best they can.
Accepting the gradual loss of independence can be difficult. Being well informed about the disease can reduce anxiety about what lies ahead. Many support groups offer valuable information for individuals with Parkinson's disease and their families on how to cope with the disorder. Local groups can provide emotional support as well as advice on where to find experienced doctors, therapists, and related information. It is also very important to stay in close contact with health care providers to monitor the progression of the disease and to adjust therapies to maintain the highest quality of
