Being independent does not necessarily mean being completely alone, but supported to do things for themselves. Take time to enable the individuals you support to be independent. Don’t do things for them because it is quicker. Support them to do things that they can do or almost do. Independence makes people feel in control of their lives and gives them a sense of self-worth.
The individual's feelings and preferences are not considered. Having people make informed choices and emphasising freedom of choice helps to reduce abuse. Having a choice over even a small part of your care and life means you have control and you’re more independent. People need to know the pros and cons of all the options to decide for themselves and which one suits them best. No individual will choose something which could harm them.
If the person centered value are all being followed correctly then the clients should feel happy and content. Aiii) Consent means asking someone for there permission to do something e.g. would you like help with personal care. We need to be careful because the client might lack capacity in some areas, but not in others this is known as implied consent. You MUST always gain consent.
We are all individual, no two people are the same hence it is not appropriate to say that because two people have dementia that they both have the same care and support needs. The values which one person feels are important in their life may not be so to another. 1.2 Explain why person-centred values must influence all aspects of social care work. To provide the best support to a person, their values must be taken into account and by doing so you will be empowering that person, increasing their self-determination and encouraging their independence. A person’s values will include their individuality, rights, choices, privacy, independence, dignity and respect.
To provide person centred practice all staff should give their service user freedom of choice, even if they don’t agree with the choices being made. Staff has to respect the choice of the individual. By not allowing a service user to make choices, even if this could pose a risk to them could have a negative impact on them as they are not being able to live as they wish. If a service user makes a decision that could pose a risk to them, we cannot physically stop them from doing so, we can advise against it but ultimately they have the
Implement person centred approaches in health and social care 1. Understand person centred approaches for care and support 1.1 Define person-centred values Person-centred values is to ensure that the individual needing care is placed at the very centre of the decision making process about their life, the services and support they want and need. It includes treating people as individuals, supporting people to access their rights, supporting people to exercise choice. Making sure people have privacy when they want it. Supporting people to be as independent as possible.
It influences social care work, because when we are caring for someone we have to be able to recognise that everybody is different and we must not impose our preferences to them. The personal beliefs should be respected and encouraged. Choice We need to be aware that each service user has the right to make choices and also how they can benefit from this. It is important both physically and mentally for a service user to make choices each day. It has an influence on social care work, because we need to make sure that we are communicating well, and listening to the individual's wishes and preferences, and we need to remember not to dothings without discussing it with service user.
If no consent is given you cannot proceed with the care. It is illegal to put pressure on the person and go against their wished. When supporting a colleague with regards to consent of an individual it is important to ensure that the colleague understands that the decision of the individual is final. I would advise the social care worker to provide the individual with all the information regarding the decision (positive and negative) and in a way that best suits the individual. I
Never agree to keep secrets, never buy the individual presents and do not see the individual in your own personal time. This could lead the relationship into a personal relationship; attachment issues and conflicts. Consistency is the key to maintaining the relationship and positive reinforcement. Also the use of incentive programmes to support the individual in areas that they may be having difficulty in. When an individual is moving on it is important that you take an active role if you are the person’s keyworker.
In my job role this is making sure that I do not overcome my boundaries and recognise my abilities and limitations of my competency. Keep my emotions and personal beliefs outside of work and also never accept any offer off patients that would be seen to compromise my position. Inform more senior members of staff of any actions or omissions by myself or colleagues that I may feel will put the safety of myself or patients at risk. • Promote and uphold the privacy, dignity, rights, health and wellbeing of people who use health and care services and their carers at all times. In my job role always acting in the best interests of patients is essential, treating them with the respect and compassion that they need.
