Having had an embarrassing, humiliating experience of an ‘accident’ in public they live in constant fear of it happening again. Many people will stop going out because of this fear. It is also one of the reasons many individuals come into care because either they or their carer’s are unable to cope with their incontinence. Individuals may be inclined to reduce their intake of liquids or food to alleviate their incontinence but this can result in their urine becoming concentrated, which in turn can irritate the bladder and cause a greater sense of urgency or result in infection or inflammation. This can also cause constipation, which in turn can weaken the pelvic floor muscles through straining to pass a constipated stool.
Posture is important because it sends messages by the way that you are sitting or standing. If a doctor was slouching while assessing a patient, the patient could think the doctor is not interested in patients’ needs. This could make the patient feel uncomfortable. Facial expressions are also important. For example, smiling can show you are experiencing happy emotions.
Mrs G can also read on lips and I used short sentences, because these are easier to understand than the long ones. I was looking directly at Mrs G when speaking and I maintained full eye contact. I used my pen and a notebook to communicate with her. I used this method because I noticed that other colleagues use it and it was also written in her care plan. It is important that Mrs G had the right to choose her own preferred communication method, as she may have become depressed, frustrated and not willing to communicate.

But all too often good communication is hampered by barriers. This can lead to misunderstanding, resentments, frustration and demoralisation not only for patients/clients, but also for health care staff. We also need to be aware of the things that can cause bad communication-in other words, communication barriers. Being aware of these and working with your colleagues to come up with solutions will help you to overcome them. Generally communication barriers can be categorised as follows: * Physical barriers include difficulties in hearing and seeing.
Unit 1: Promote Communication in Health, Social Care or Children's and Young People's Settings. 1.1 Identify the different reasons people communicate. People communicate to express any feelings or needs and to share information and ideas. Questions can be asked and problems can be solved through communication. Communicating can also build bonds and relationships between people, for example if a service user is feeling lonely and they're trying to communicate with you and you don't show any interest or patience they become resentful and will refrain from communicating with you in the future which could effect your knowledge of their needs and feelings.
Guilt can cause a lot of emotional issues with an individual as I know personally first hand. Conrad also was dealing the fact that his mother was not being the motherly type toward him, and showed very little feeling toward him. Conrad did not feel that his mother gave him the balance and direction a teenage child needs to keep the moving in a positive manner or directions in their life. Beth, his mother was in a state of denial or separation attitude and chose not to express her feeling of love and emotion toward him. I can personally understand what Conrad is going through because those are emotions I dealt with in my life with my father.
I felt such sadness and concern for her, but I was unsure of what to do. This situation is what inspired my topic. There are many things that disturb me about how elderly people are treated. I find it incredibly appalling when I hear stories about elderly people who were brushed aside in our health care system when they needed surgery because a younger, healthier person needed to have a procedure done. My grandmother was once told by a physician that she must not want to go through the hassle of heart surgery “at her age”, as if there was little to no point in her having it done.

People with PTSD often avoid even pleasant activities, including those that were pleasurable before the trauma-such as travel, babies, hobbies or relaxation." (Glenn R.

They feel as though they cannot relate to others because they are different and no one will understand what they are feeling or going through.
