Unit 4222-207 Implement Person Centred Approaches in Health and Social Care (Hsc 026)

Every person is born with freedom of choice and it is a part of our well-being, so ensuring people have a contribution in everyday chores and activities make them feel valued and respected, also they don’t lose their purpose and don’t feel useless which boosts their self-esteem, which contributes to our well-being.

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)

1.1 Explain how and why person centered values must influence all aspects of health and social care work:

For example, in a complex situation such as a GP visiting their patient regarding a course of treatment, with person centred values being taken into account you would make sure that the GP gives their time to the individual and asks any questions that they may have, communicating in a way that they understand with respect.

This gives the implication that values can differ from person to person, so it is therefore important to identify and understand one’s own values in order to work effectively in the field.

1. Explain why it is important to recognise and value an individual as a person

Person centred values means the people whom we support are able to be involved and included in every aspect of their care and support. For example: * Their needs,

When working with an individual it is important to uphold their rights to be fully involved in their own care, whilst adhering to legal requirements. It is also the individuals right to refuse any care, support or treatment they do not want. It is also essential that people not only give you their consent but also that they understand what they are consenting to and the implications of this. Gaining consent protects not just the career but the individual receiving the care and support as-well. If no consent is given then you cannot proceed with the care. It is illegal to pressure anyone into

My job requires that I am personally responsible to uphold the statement of values in all areas of my work. I have to provide emotional and educational support and demonstrate a caring attitude towards others which is based on respect dignity and equality.

Write an essay of your own choice, e.g. “My understanding of person-centred counselling”. Relate and refer to your own life experience and/or your work context.

The person-centered approach is non-directive, humanistic theory of counseling that I ascribe to, and think would benefit Devon. Self-actualization is an important aspect of this approach and helping her to see that she has the ability within to reach her potential. Since there is already a reported lack of self-esteem this will be a challenge, getting her to see herself as she truly is will help her in therapy. With grief you want to show empathy and a structured session would not be beneficial for Devon. Being supportive, and listening is important for her right now and that is some of the strengths of the person-centered approach. Since she is already a client that has been seen weekly for the last 3 months, there is already an establishment of rapport. Using basic active listening and attending skills throughout the session would help create a congruent and empathetic atmosphere for Devon. Unconditional positive regard would mean not judging her and allowing Devon to share openly her feelings. Using those basic skills of counseling

The personal value underlined in my theory of managing people is self-fulfilling prophecy. The concept of self-fulfilling prophecy can be stated as: we form certain expectations of people and communicate those experiences. People tend to respond by adjusting behaviors to match, creating

With these activities, we can build a bigger social circle, forming it alongside people of similar interest. This means that there will be, according to Justin Bieber, “one less lonely girl,” this may mean more expenses for parents, because one has to admit, regardless of which ever activity you are involved, there will always be a need to pay for it. But you must admit that even if it costs you, it will always be worth it in the end as we grow to become an action-oriented citizen that may help contribute for the betterment of the society. And by that, once you harness your skills and talents, this can be used for humanity like for example, training for Red Cross helps one make a contribution in the medical field someday. Or learning how to play the piano and someday be the pride of a nation. Hence, you help the society and benefit for your personal

The highest of human values and experiences is personal satisfaction and pleasure. I am entitled to my share of pleasure and comfort.
