Unit 52 Equality,diversity and inclusion in dementia care practice 1. Understand that each individual's experience of dementia is unique. 1.1 Explain why it is important to recognise and respect an individual's heritage. Recognising and respecting an individual's heritage is very important in a social care environment as it is what makes them who they are today. When we learn about a person's heritage we will understand the person's character, their likes and dislikes and their habits.
Variables within data both quantitative and qualitative must be approached from an unbiased perspective aimed at seeking relevancy to these clients. Demonstrated empirical findings, which challenge construct and methodologies, help establish validity and support towards a theoretic approach. The goal of the scholar-practitioner within this research setting is to identify and elaborate on singular methods within research findings and establish relevancy. Through the use of empirical data, relevancy towards these inquiries provides qualitative data in support or refutation of their means. It is therefore critical that the scholar-practitioner limit or reduce bias by establishing their unique intellectual traditions (Laureate, n.d.).
In Patricia Benners ‘The Primacy of Caring’ she explores this universality of Caring and how important it is to communicate that you care to the people around you, not just patients. This is important, however it would be folly not to recognise the “importance of communication and interpersonal skills in providing good quality patient care” (Clark,D.J. 1998, pg 143). It has been an old truism that it is not what you say but how you say it. “If we take seriously the idea that caring is the future of all healthcare…it is not that we care which is moral, but how we care” –Marks-Maran (1997, pg 87) I feel that is why communication is so important to nurses.
By asking individuals what they want and giving them choices makes them feel involved and in control of their care and support. How can information about personality and life history be used to support a dementia sufferer to live well with dementia? In order to achieve care that is person-centred, we need to understand the
However a lot of German people ignored these signs as they liked shopping in Jewish shops as they liked the bargains. Some ignored the signs purely for the fact that they wanted to get their shopping out of the way to carry on with the rest of their Saturday. Being a Saturday meant that a lot of the smaller local Jewish shops were already closed due to the Sabbath Day. Alongside the SA men picketing shops Goebbels gave an angry speech in front of thousands of people denouncing the Jews. This speech was broadcast on all the German radio stations meaning that everyone could hear it, meaning everyone would now know what the Nazis think of the Jews if they didn’t already know.
It shows respect for their culture, language and religion, enables the individual to feel valued and also prevents isolation as it can help maintain or create relationships with others within a social care environment. 1.2 Compare the experience of dementia for an individual who has acquired it as an older person with the experience of an individual who has acquired it as a younger person. Although being diagnosed with dementia at any point in someones life proves difficult to deal with, younger people may feel more affected as they may find it more difficult to come to terms with. An older person diagnosed with dementia will have different needs to a younger person that has been diagnosed. Dementia is most commonly associated with the elderly, therefore a younger person may find it more difficult to access help and advice as it is less common in younger people.
With good family cohesion, an individual is supported praised by their family, and can talk to and find help from their family (von Soest, Mossige, Stefansen, & Hjemdal, 2010). The feeling of being loved unconditionally is a vital motivation and the mainstay for an individual to sustain, to preserve, and not to give up when facing adversities. For example, when people face an adverse situation or a significant change, it is likely for them to feel worried and anxious. As a result, they will turn to their family, who they trusted the most, to pour out their troubles if they have good family cohesion. In this way, their stress can be relieved, and their family can provide support by expressing their empathy, give some suggestions and the senior family members can share their own life experience with the person.
Once a person under eighteen checks out one of the controversial books, there is a high chance they can learn something from it. If the town council were to remove these books, knowledge will be stolen from many patrons. Stealing the chance to learn from books just because a few parents are complaining about the subject material of the books, does not seem worth it. Other than patrons under eighteen, adults may wish to check out the unacceptable books. If the town council discarded
Every day Mr. McPhee would see something different, usually starting at noon and would not stop until it was closing time. “One day he witnessed somebody stealing and watched as the market man kicked him out to the curb and calling him a pickpocket, but was amazed because nothing was done about it” (McPhee 117). Stealing was an everyday thing there in New York City farmers market, that when something came up missing it wasn’t anything for someone to accuse that they were a victim, like what happened to Mrs. Berta, but because of honesty and trust, the workers of the produce stands would walk away from there things to lend a helping hand knowing that as soon as they took their eyes off of it, it would be gone, the workers at the market never thought twice about it and helped Mrs. Berta. Some of the workers like Joan Benack helped Mrs. Berta out by going around collecting money and food for Mrs. Barta and didn’t even ask one question of her. Trust is something that we need more of these days, there is way too
