Health And Person Centred Care

This presentation is going to talk about person- centred care, confidentiality, respecting privacy and dignity and protecting from risks and harm. The common core principles are important to every Health and Social Care setting as they provide a basis for a general understanding of promoting good mental health and recognising signs of poor mental health among everyone receiving care and support. The aim of care home are to meet the identified needs of individuals who live in that home. An older person might need to live in that care home for years. It is important for staff to be aware of responsibilities in delivering care to support the individuals who live at that home. These common principles of health will help develop the workforce that respond confidently to the individuals and supporting the life they are leading.

Person centred care could be defined as focusing on a person’s individual needs, wants, wishes and where they see their target goal. Person centred care also takes into account delivering person centred care to the patients family and carers, as well as the multidisciplinary team that is working together to provide care. The service user is the most important person in decision making for their health care and the nursing process. (Draper et al 2013). Person centred care reminds nurses and care staff that they are caring for the service user, their families and care staff providing the care, this allows the patient power in decision making towards their health and wellbeing. (Pope, 2011)

2) Explain why it is important to work in a way that embeds person centred values

As part of assessment of the older adult and other population’s module, I have been asked to write a piece on a person centred care model. As the name implies person centred care is delivering individualised care which meets the needs of that particular person, be they religious, emotional, physiological needs etc. As a person they are entitled to respect, dignity, compassion and autonomy, which are central to the concept of person centred care. ”The rights of individuals as persons is the driving force behind person centred healthcare” (McCormack, 2003). In 1991, the UN made explicit the Principles for Older Persons; these include independence, participation, care, self-fulfilment and dignity. These principles are closely

Nurses take on educator roles both in educating the public on their health and as educators in clinical practice and academic settings. As a public educator, nurses teach and counsel patients and families to enhance health and well-being. Patient and family health education is an important step in preventing disease. In order to be able to properly educate their clients on health promotion and well-being, nurses must first fully understand “health”. Nurses do not view health as “the absence of illness” but “define health as the extent to which an individual or group is able to realize aspirations, to satisfy needs and to change or cope with the environment in which they live.” (CARNA, 2005, p.2). Nurses hold a holistic view of the person and health and address health within the context of a person’s wholeness, including biological, emotional, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual dimensions. Incorporating these ideas, nurses use the determinants of health as a way of dealing with and achieving health for an individual. Nurses recognize the broad determinants of health as income & social status, education, culture, physical environments, gender, health services, social support networks, employment & working conditions, health services, personal health practices, and biology & genetic endowment.

competent care, a health care professional needs to know about the life ways of various cultures

A person/patient remains the primary focus of nursing care and a patient’s health is dictated by his/her environment. Subsequently, a healthy individual can conduct self-care while the unhealthy person remains incapable of self-care necessitating nursing care to help the patient. It is vital for the nurses to evaluate the capabilities of a person’s self-care as well as the environment associated with the person to fight the limitations of health.

The profession of nursing involves caring. The desire for lifelong learning, to assist others and personal development is universal pre-requisite of the profession of nursing. Models and theories of nursing are increasingly becoming positive influential factors in the nursing profession. The current world and the healthcare industry are revealing constant advances. The human caring theory developed by Jean Watson in 1979 is increasingly gaining relevance as applied in healthcare and

The history of mankind shows, from its beginnings, that human beings need care to survive, to live with health, happiness and well being, and to cure in disease situations. Care has been the subject of study of philosophers, historians, and anthropologists, but, in my view, nursing is the profession of care, and it has produced more knowledge to support the various dimensions of care. For me, the nursing care is to promote life, the life potential, the welfare of human beings in their individuality, complexity, and completeness. It involves an interpersonal encounter with therapeutic purpose, comfort, healing when possible and also preparation for death when it is inevitable. Nursing, as a discipline in science, has the responsibility to contribute permanently to the production of knowledge capable of supporting culturally congruent care actions, technically competent, morally acceptable and contribute to the preservation of life in its fullness in the different situations of the process of human living. Patients need professional care, attention, and love for them to recover quickly. In my opinion, I think nursing is where love meets science.
