If a patient feels negative or if they are in a bad mood it can lead them to be hostile towards others. Hostility can include being aggressive, rude and angry. Clients may be hostile for a number of reasons, for example their illness. They may feel powerless due to their condition and therefore act rudely and aggressively towards the health professionals. This creates a barrier to effective caring because if the client is being aggressive towards a member of staff, they may feel like they are unable to treat them well, as they won’t accept it. Hostility in the patient can also occur due to stereotyping, discrimination/prejudice and sometimes pregnancy hormones. Also, a client in an antenatal ward could feel hostile if they have just been admitted to the ward; this is because it is a new environment and they feel uncomfortable in the new situation. They may feel like they are isolated and alone, and take it out on the staff, behaving hostile towards them. Hostility can create barriers, like if the client will not allow any member of staff to come close to her, which stops the professional giving her the best level of care. Clients could also refuse treatment, worsening their illness, which creates a barrier to effective care. Staff may use the caring skill of disengagement to leave the client to calm down; if the client is posing a threat to the staff they must remove themselves from the situation for their own safety, and they should ask for help from another member of
