Non-Judgmental Acceptance Of Nurses

Diversity- The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies. It is the exploration of these differences in a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. It is about

Diversity means respecting the difference in each person. The way in which the centre promotes diversity is when they look at each person individually, and come up with care plans in which ensures the best care for each person. This is needed because everyone is diverse (different) meaning each person will have different needs and need help in different areas. The centre puts into consideration the patient’s needs and adapts their care plan accordingly. For example, the centre came up with a very diverse care plan for Brenda Grey to improve her health wellbeing. The centre had to consider many things some of them being fitting in a health visitor whilst also having time to visit a GP. Brenda is also diverse because she didn’t want everyone ‘knowing her business’ therefor the centre had to also adapt and reassure her that nothing would be discussed with her knowing. The centre took her different needs and what she wanted into

In this assignment, I will be analysing the benefits of understanding diversity in health and social care as well as understanding what will happen if a worker does not understand diversity.

“Diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies. It is about understanding each other and moving beyond simple tolerance to embracing and celebrating the rich dimensions of diversity contained within each individual” (University of Oregon). The concept is a simple one, but the reality of putting diversity into practice is not. As a nurse, I have the power to advocate for and assist people with their health care needs, but I must be willing to reflect on myself and my biases to do that effectively and successfully.

Diversity – In the literal sense the word ‘diversity’ means different. Through diversity we recognise the uniqueness of the individual and value these differences. Diversity can consist of factors which include personal characteristics such as background, culture, personality and work-style. However, certain characteristics are protected under discrimination such as gender, sexuality, religion, ethnicity, disability and age.

The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual differences.  These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies.  It is the exploration of these differences in a safe, positive, and nurturing environment.

Diversity means varied or different, so in a social care setting the importance of diversity means to recognise and respect the importance of people’s wishes and to treat them as individuals.

Welcome to Medtrainer Understanding and Working with Diversity training – Chapter One. In this Chapter, we will discuss how embracing diversity benefits individuals and the organization. The word diversity is often interpreted as be different or unusual. Diversity is often categorized by race, origin, religion, gender, and political preferences which are often distorted by prejudices. We will look at diversity as a strength, the collective talents of many, and the strength of embracing individual differences.

Diversity is to be accepted and respected. It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognising our individual differences. These can be things such as: race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs and political beliefs. It is the exploration of these differences in a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. It is about understanding each other and moving beyond simple tolerance to embracing and celebrating the rich ways of diversity contained within each individual. For example, people living abroad in a different country telling people about their experience links to making a positive contribution. Also, children can celebrate their religion with their friends

Diversity is respecting and maintaining the dignity and privacy of clients recognizing issues associated with the identity needs of other service users as well as the clients own interpretation of dignity and respect and the right to express his/her own identity, culture and lifestyle.

Accommodating diversity in our nursing career should be no different than accepting it in our everyday life. In order to do that we need to understand what diversity means. According to the University of Oregon’s Steering Committee, diversity means understanding that each person is unique and we need to recognize our differences. These differences can be race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, age, physical abilities, religion or other ideologies. It is important that we understand each other and move beyond simple tolerance to embrace and celebrate the dimensions of diversity within each individual

Cultural diversity is one the topics that have too many audiences among the nurses. I have been working in hospital for over two years and I personally saw that the nursing population and the patient population are made by the people from different cultures and ethnicities. From one aspect this is a good phenomenon. The reason is the differentiation of cultures causes less discrimination and more acceptances. Meanwhile, it may cause some conflicts between different believes and habits. Having different background and culture caused somehow anxiety in my personal life experience, but meanwhile it helped me to look at my patient population and coworkers in broader spectrum. These differences may cause some challenges for the nurses in order

Merriam Webster defines diversity as the condition of being composed of differing elements or the inclusion of different types of peoples in a group or organization. Through my nursing school experiences at Rhodes State College, I have seen diversity as more than just a definition. Every person I have encountered is diverse in his or her own way. Diversity is so much more than the “type” of person someone is; it is made up of that person’s way of life, thought processes, religion, family, friends, and anything else they may cherish in their life.

The general perception of nursing is that nurses are the ass wipers of the nation. To better explain the previous statement, nurses take care of the sick, give medicine, wipe asses, assist the patient with different tasks such as walking, etc. Nursing isn’t what most people think it should be.

Ones attitude toward nursing will be dependent on their experiences with professional nurses. Every person has had different experiences. This paper presents three different people with three different experiences with nursing professionals. When these three people were asked about their attitudes toward nursing it was found that, most of the time, nurses are seen as the face of health care and are vital. Each of these people have had many different types of interactions with healthcare. One person believes that nurses are the backbone; while another person, who has worked with nurses in long term care facilities, mentioned he has seen bad nurses and good nurses. During these brief interactions with different age groups it was found that the nursing profession will not be viewed the same by any two people, because of their past experiences.
