UNIT 4222-207 IMPLEMENT PERSON CENTRED APPROACHES IN HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE (HSC 026) Promote person centred values in everyday work Person-centred is about providing care and support that is centred or focused on the individual and their needs. We are all individual and just because two people might have the same medical condition, for example, Dementia, it doesn’t mean that they require the same care and support. You will need to develop a clear understanding about the individuals you are working with. This includes their needs, their culture, their means of communication, their likes and dislikes, their family and other professionals’ involvement so you can promote and provide person centred care and support. Individuality: Assumptions should never be made about an individual.
Unit 305 Outcome 1) 1) Person centred values ensure that each individual resident receives adequate care based on their personal wants and needs. Person centred values make sure that the care is planned around a specific individual and that they are at the heart of every decision. Throughout a health and social care setting being able to demonstrate person centred care can involve professionals, families, the individual and carers. Aspects of daily care should involve person centred values because each resident is different and will need to be treated as an individual. As a carer I demonstrate person centred values by relating to what each resident would like, what care they need, what assistance they will accept and treating each resident as a separate person but at the same time treating everyone equally.

D2 –Justify ways of overcoming difficulties that may arise when implementing anti-discriminatory practice in health and social care settings. What is discrimination? Discrimination is the unfair or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex; in other words treating some people less well than others because of differences. How anti-discrimination is promoted?
Social isolation, poor housing, unemployment and poverty are all linked to mental ill health. So stigma and discrimination can trap people in a cycle of illness. The situation is exacerbated by the media. Media reports often link mental illness with violence, or portray people with mental health problems as dangerous, criminal, evil, or very disabled and unable to live normal, fulfilled lives. 2.2 How mental illness can have an impact on the individual: Psychologically: - person may become paranoid and therefore exclude him or her self -person may become paranoid and therefore hurt others who she/he fears will try to hurt him/her -person may become isolated and therefore out of touch with other people and reality in general -person may feel unloved even if it is not true -person may feel like he/she is a threat to society and therefore attempt suicide emotionally: -person may feel isolated, unloved, paranoid, panicked and non-human (read Francis Kafka's The Metamorphosis)
This is based around each individual and their careplan so the care i give is individual to them. I assist with personal hygiene, toileting and administer medication. As much as i enjoy assisting clients i always encourage them to be as independent as possible by letting them plan their day and making own choices. Also providing the clients with a welcoming and friendly environment will make all the difference to the person settling in. This provides stability for them and a sense of belonging.
I am going to explain how the application of relevant principles and values will enable professionals to provide holistic support for individuals who use social services. (P1) Empowerment of Individuals Empowerment is enabling individuals to take responsibility for their own lives by making informed decisions, this is seen to be at the heart of the Care Value Basis and is important to make individuals feel respected and valued. Promotion of Choice Enabling vulnerable adults to make their own choices can make a massive impact on individuals in a positive way which gives them the independence that they feel they are entitled to, for example choosing what clothes they wear, what food they eat and what activities they take part in. Promotion of Rights All individuals in a health and social care environment have rights to confidentiality, choice and to have their individuality acknowledged and respected. Recognition of Preferences When providing social care support for vulnerable people, it is important to find out and recognize their preferences.
• Use initiative and imagination in helping residents succeed at familiar tasks. • Work flexibly, providing help with physical care as and when necessary to maximise opportunities for the residents to enjoy previous recreational interests, social and religious preferences. • Respect the residents’ rights of choice, privacy, and dignity and be sensitive to each persons needs. • Work together with the team on goals that are directly relevant to daily life of each resident and his or her family members by implementing individualised ‘active living’ programmes. • Demonstrate an ability to build and maintain relationships with people whose understanding is impaired and their families through good communication skills.
Assignment 207 Understand person centred approaches in adult social care settings Task A Information leaflet Create an information leaflet about person-centred care, aimed at individuals who use the service and their families. The leaflet must include: Ai A definition of person-centred values Person-centred values are encouraging the client to be active in the assessment, delivery and review of their care. It is also about giving clients choices daily such as what food they would like to eat and what they would like to wear. Aii An explanation of it is important for why social care workers to work in a way that promotes person centred values. Staff should work in a way that promotes person centred care by respecting the client’s needs and preferences, this gives better care and makes the client feel valued and in control of what they want from their lives.
1.2: The use of care plans in applying person centred values is where a individuals care plan is reviewed regularly to help people understand the residents likes and dislikes, their progression from day to day within the home and to help carers understand what is happening with the individual and the best approach to take with them. All care plans are person centred because it is base and centred on the one person which is the resident, it tells people a bit about the individual what happened in their past and the present what they like and dislike so as carers we can base their care around this and help promote the individuals values and beliefs for example if someone like to get up at a certain time or when they like to go to bed then we respect their choice and help promote this. It also helps when a carer provides information and their evaluation on the resident so that when the care plans are updated this then helps other carers and
