Analysis Of Peter Ellis 's Framework

Staff working in partnership with a service user’s family will become more aware of families' individual needs, and know more about an elderly person's home context, thus enabling them to be aware of how the care home is different or similar to their own home and understand the elderly person’s behaviour with this in mind.

IDENTIFYING NEEDS: Research principles are being use to identify the needs of all individuals by health and social care workers who are responsible in care planning. A manager in a care home observe an individual resident may point out

This booklet is designed to be used as a reminder and reference for people who work in the care profession

This assignment will explore the effect of the long term condition dementia. It will focus on a service user who has recently been admitted onto an assessment ward and their family. It will explore the nurse’s role and how they will support and manage the patient’s illness. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) (2015) state that individual’s rights to confidentiality must be respected at all times, therefore all names mentioned in this assignment have been changed to maintain confidentiality.

Throughout this essay I will share the reasons I have found for there being difficulties and also rewards of being a carer for a family member. ‘A carer is someone of any age who provides unpaid support to care for family or friends who could not manage without this help. This could be caring for a relative, partner or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental health or substance misuse problems.’ (Carers Trust) I will attempt to use my course materials to draw on the experiences of Ann Walker who cares for her elderly step father Angus who has developed Parkinsons’ disease. Firstly I will look at some of the following difficulties that I have identified and due to the limitations of this study I will then briefly discuss the

Of course there will be important conflicts of interest between service users and their carers which will need to be faced up to at an individual level. But services should not be provided by exploiting the personal commitment and dedication of carers. Families who care for individuals whose behaviour presents challenges are subject to considerable and continual stress, both physical and psychological. Although staffs is not permanently on duty as family carers can be, they are still subject to the same stresses when supporting people whose behaviour challenges. This is true even in settings which aim to do no more than contain people. Similar concerns apply to staff as to carers. The higher aspirations often found in progressive services impose extra strain on staff and here too it is important to balance the demands of working constructively with people who can be very difficult, day in and day out, with the needs of individual staff for emotional and practical respite and ongoing support. Demographic changes and rising expectations will

It is important to review care and support plans as people’s needs change. By including the person, their family then everyone knows what is happening and the family can help to monitor mood swings and behaviour. The individual and the family can express their views and preferences and any relevant risk assessments may be done with everyone involved. By monitoring the individual, a decision can be made as to whether the changes are effective and if the best care is being given to encourage independence and promote dignity.

It is necessary to involve the individual in the plan of care and support. Encourage the individual to make choices. This includes their needs, their culture, their means of communication, their likes and dislikes, wishes and feelings, advance directives, beliefs and values, involvement of their family and other professionals. This should be considered and documented. Also, there must be evaluation in assessing effectiveness in the plan of care.

2.2. Describe how to take into account the history, preferences, wishes and needs of an individual when planning care and support.

The qualitative article being appraised is by Martin and Woods (2012) using the CASP tool qualitative framework (CASP 2013). These tools have been validated to ensure that studies can be assessed in a consistent way assessing the trustworthiness of the research article (Aveyard, 2014)

Crombie & Davies (1997) stated that the article title gives an understanding of what the study is going to be about and the author intentions of how the study will be done. The

To accurately assess the population of custodial grandparents, professionals must assess the different aspects of the individual and family relationship and dynamics between everyone involved (Poehlmann, 2003). To assess the situation, one must gather all the information that can be provided through a narrative approach to evaluate the outcomes. The grandparents are not the only ones who are being affected by this change. There are other members of the family can have information that they can offer in which may help the outcome of this intervention as a whole. Therefore, a narrative approach to this assessment is helpful to give the client a chance to express him or her-self uniquely. There are five areas that are beneficial to be assessed as a narrative approach to help this intervention (Poehlmann, 2003).

To develop a personal toolkit for critiquing research article, critical thinking that imposes intellectual standards will be the fundamental strategy employed (Elder & Paul, 2008; “Public Library,” 2013). Critical thinking will be employed to minimize bias from the literature review, which should provide a more solid springboard for the dissertation process. The intellectual standards that will be employed are clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, and breadth. Critical thinking should result in crucial questions and issues for potential research and the ability to articulate them clearly and accurately (Elder & Paul, 2008; “Public library,” 2013). In addition, before initiating a literature review, the focus, type, scope and academic discipline of articles will be determined (“Strategies for Writing,” n.d.). Focus will consider the thesis, predicament, or research question that will be researched. Type will determine if the search will highlight theory, methodology, or the kind of study, that is, qualitative or quantitative research. Scope will establish sources that will be considered such a range of research dates. Choosing an academic discipline such as business or psychology will help focus the search on literature germane to the dissertation goal (“Strategies for Writing,” n.d.).

I found the idea that there is not a “criteria” to analyze qualitative research compelling. I feel that it is a bit easier to analyze

The quantitative article being appraised is by Sniehotta et al (2006) using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) framework tool (CASP 2014). Burls (2009) suggest that CASP is a useful tool to help develop skills to critically appraise and understand scientific research evidence using a simple checklist of questions. Additionally the National Health Service (NHS) resource department recommend CASP as a useful tool for critiquing medical research papers (Havard 2007).
