Person centred care was first used in relation to people with demen-tia by a Professor called Tim Kitwood who founded the Bradford de-mentia Group in the 1980’s. His aim was to steer away from the medical diagnosis of dementia and to help those living with the ill-ness to live and be treated as an individual. To acknowledge that these people did have a voice even though in the medical eyes they were slowly losing their own mind. He wrote about the Enriched Model (1997) which detailed opportunities to maximise the well being of a person suffering from dementia whilst enhancing their daily living of the other elements that affect the person. For example people suffering from dementia have many challenges to deal with. They have the gradual memory loss but also lose the interaction with others, communication becomes repetitive and in the past, how to eat, drink, co ordination, coping with mood changes, general daily living skills become more difficult to complete along with depression.
Buijssen 2005 suggests that depression is a main factor with dementia due to lots of feelings of helplessness and anxiety which can cause the service user to have challenging out bursts. To enable a person to remain in their home safely and independently other people will be involved. This depends on how advanced the dementia is, otherwise the service
• Every individual, including individuals with dementia, has their unique life history, lifestyle, culture and preferences, including their likes, dislikes, hobbies and interests, which makes an individualised approach in care necessary.
Person-centred care has its focus on the person with an illness and not on the disease in the person. To
Being diagnosed with dementia will affect people in different ways. The service user could become withdrawn and depressed, this will affect their well-being and how they look after and treat them self’s. They can start to self-harm or neglect them self’s through personal hygiene or through there eating, eating too much or too little. They may even become so depressed and down in mood
Person centred nursing allows the older adult to be at the centre of care by considering the desires, values, beliefs and their lifestyle. Allowing the older adult to become more involved in their care is now considered a key component of developing and delivering high quality person centred care. By permitting person centred care to become more flexible can allow health care providers to meet the needs and goals of the older adult in a manner that best suits them and their family. This person centred partnership can occur on a one-to-one basis, where the individual takes an active role in the decision making process regarding their own care, or on a collaborative group basis, whereby patient groups are involved in the decisions regarding the delivery of services. There are many significant aspects to person centred practice that are central to allow the nurse to develop a clear image of what the patient values in their
Whilst undertaking the initial assessment, I always make sure that the service user is present and make sure that I am talking to them as opposed to about them with a family member or friend that also may be present. If I am doing an assessment with the service user who has Dementia or Alzheimer’s then again, I ensure that I am asking them what they would like, how they would like the care to progress and what they want to achieve from having care works. If they are unable to answer then I will look to the family for guidance, but it is important to make the service involved in their own care planning and assessment process

Nursing professionals must adhere to published principles (RCN,2010) to ensure each patient gets the highest quality of care possible. There are eight main principles; each patient must be treated with respect for their dignity and personal beliefs. Nurses must be prepared to take responsibility for their actions. Nursing staff must be prepared to keep patients safe and fill out risk assessments when needed. It is required that nurses help to promote care and help advise service users on how to prevent illness. Nurses must handle information correctly, never
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

Working in the dementia security unit of the Aldersgate enables me to appreciate special considerations in mental health nursing practice. Mental health nursing are frequently associated with the ethics issues when clients are incompetent in decision-making in their care plans. The therapeutic relationship with the patients is, therefore the heart of nursing practice, which could assist nurses to address individuality and provide support (Dziopa& Ahern 2009).When conducting nursing assessment and developing care plans for these individuals, I have learnt to consider their physical, mental conditions and individuals’ preference to modify the procedures to address their comfort needs. From a clinical perspective,
The importance in Person Centered Therapy relating to client ‘therapist relationship echoes several vital components. Carl Roger too had a very remarkable concept in therapy. Against the odds, he confidently pronounces that while it was conducive for the therapist to demonstrate therapeutic competency, not their skillset. Roger’s firmly stated that the attitude of the therapist it most significant with this approach. Person-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapist’s ability to build a positive rapport with the client and demonstrate genuine intrinsic empathy to make the client feel comfortable in trusting the counseling process. The way the therapist depicts his or her attitude will set the tone he counseling experience Roger’s believed
Given their varying interpretations of human nature and psyche, person-centered therapists and psychoanalytic therapists establish very different roles in their practice. Because the goal of psychoanalytic therapy is to bring repressed unconscious material to light, the therapist utilizes a “blank-screen approach” (Corey, 2009). Although they initially establish some rapport with the client; psychoanalytic therapists assume an anonymous stance for the majority of therapy by behaving in a neutral, impersonal manner (Corey, 2009). The goal of this approach is to foster transference; in which clients project repressed emotions onto the impartial therapist (Corey, 2009). The main role of a psychoanalytic therapist is that of an interpreter. Therapy
