In hospital care settings staff can put anti-discrimination into practice by carrying out different duties, following different policies and procedures and genuinely having a good attitude. Staff should treat everyone equally but not the same, the health care professionals should provide support to those who need it in order for them to have equal opportunities and access to their specific needs. For example
Respecting individual’s rights when working in a health and social sector is important as you need to ensure that all of your patients/customers are happy with the level of care and support that they are receiving. If a individuals rights are not respected then they will be very unsatisfied with the services they are receiving and will more than likely complain about this. All part of people’s rights, each individual has the right not to be discriminated against because of their individual background. For example there age, race, culture, skin colour, religion, appearance and sexual orientation. If a patient is discriminated against during the period when they are receiving a health professional’s care then the professionals will have to deal with the consequences of doing this.
Equality is about fostering and promoting the right to be different, to be free from discrimination, and to have choice and dignity and to be valued as an individual, with the right to your own beliefs and values. Health and social care services should meet the needs of people from all backgrounds. You should not be treated less favourably than anyone else because of your beliefs or your religion or because of any other characteristics you may poses. Equal opportunity is about addressing representation and balance, but is a term used in workplaces to describe the measures taken by organisations to ensure fairness between staff and patients. It means treating people as individuals, with different skills and abilities, without making judgment based on stereotypes.
You may not know this yet, but not knowing how to breathe properly when singing can actually be dangerous to your health! Everything about singing is based on breath. The absolute first thing that you need to understand about singing is that if you are not breathing properly, you are not singing properly, and that can lead to some pretty serious problems. Serious enough that you could potentially ruin your singing voice permanently. Correct breathing technique is a widely debated topic among music teachers everywhere.
Many people do not realize that music has a big impact in our life; whether it's positive or negative, music has always been there for us. Music is often blamed for influencing particular behaviors, but does it really do so? Why is music sometimes associated with negative behavior and actions? Music is therapy because of its positive changes in human behavior and the therapy consist of singing, playing instruments, moving to music, and listening to music. This builds your communication skills, motor skills and emotional development.
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.
Music can be a big distraction to others around the listener because while most people use ear-buds or head phones to listen to their music, a lot of the users now-a-days have the volume maxed out to where people around them can hear their music. Also, if someone is trying to have a conversation with you while you have ear-buds or head phones on then you may not even know that they are or were talking to you. The person listening to music through a personal music player may have a rude behavior and attitude. For example, someone listening to music with ear-buds in may get mad and grouchy if you try to talk to them. Also, if you are listening to music and someone tries to talk to you, then they might think that you are being rude when you don't convey in a
These values should underpin all work in the health and social care sector when they are followed as they should be then all individuals should be able to feel that, and health and social workers should ensure that: all individuals are treated with dignity and respect the individual is supported in accessing their rights the individual is treated as an individual the individual is supported to exercise choice ensure that the individual has privacy when they want it support the individual to be as independent as possible Person centred values provide a foundation on which we can base and build our practice. We need to understand what the values are, how we can promote them and why they are important. A
The significant impact of hearing loss on communication and interaction with others sometimes goes unrecognized by health care practitioners. Coping with hearing loss is different from other disabilities in that it is an invisible handicap. Individuals with normal haring often assume that simply saying something louder or turning up the volume will enable a hard of hearing elder to hear. Volume is not necessarily the issue difficulties with sound and word discrimination may be involved. The need to repeat or experiencing non sequitur responses adds to negative perceptions of older adults with hearing loss as being slow.
Figure shows patient confused A patient with various illnesses would have many diagnosis and treatments to go through with which other than confusing the patients, it will also increase their treatment timeline. Due to too many opinions by the professionals, it takes a longer time to come to a conclusion thus resulting in late treatment, which is dangerous as the actual problem of the patient may be ignored and thus deteriorate. Another challenge is that patients think they know about their body thoroughly and thus prefers going to medical practitioners that are specializes in the area of interest rather than approaching the multi-disciplinary team as they find it hard to trust the medical practitioners there. There are challenges not only faced by the patients but as well as the medical practitioners in the multi-disciplinary team. The first is that the members in the team have problem working together, as they have different characters and may have attitude problems as well.
