Review Strategies used in health and social care environments to overcome barriers to effective communication and interpersonal interactions
M2 - Review Strategies used in health and social care environments to overcome barriers to effective communication and interpersonal interactions The strategies used to overcome barriers when communicating in health and social care can have strengths and weakness, this assignment is going to look at how these methods can be successful or not. The strategies that are going to be reviewed are: reflective listening, training of professionals, looking at the preferences of individuals, checking the setting, technological aids and the professional's awareness of non-verbal communication. Reflective listening Reflective listening is a great way in overcoming barriers to communication, this because this strategy can help in keeping the cycle of communication going and showing interest in what a client has to say, this is also a good way of build self esteem needs in clients, this is because it can show the professional is thinking and listening to what the person is saying, an example of this is though a professional saying something like "so, when your mum told you, you weren't allow to go out it made you feel angry", this is showing and ensure the professional has understood what was said. A disadvantage of reflective listening is that is a person has low self esteem or is angry or is upset they may not want to take the feedback the professional has said, or would get annoyed
Childcare. Different Settings for Childcare and Keeping Information Confidential.
D1 Describe the purpose of one setting that is statutory provision for each age range. There are many settings which provide care for children. One statutory setting which provides care for children from the age of 3 to 5 would be a nursery for example Our lady of Peace Nursery. ''They exist because there is a law that states that all children should be educated'' (Tassoni 2007 pg3) and will have to follow the government or local authority to have them open. The purpose of this setting is to give children registered care facilities which offer full time and part time care for the children and provides pre-school education experiences such as constructive activities, etc... As well as an opportunity to socialize with their classmates by having the 15 hours a week of education which is delivered by the early year's foundation for 36 weeks a year. Another example of a statutory setting for children aged between 5 & 7 is a primary school such as Claycots primary school. The children are either in Year 1 or year2 and require knowledge, understanding and skills for subjects that must be studied and they would be art and design, English, Math, geography, music, physical education (P.E) and science. By children studying these subjects the teachers can use to check the child's progress and help them in their future learning which could be than tested and reported to the child's
Promoting equality and diversity in healthcare and the role of confidentiality
Factors that support and inhibit communication Promoting equality and diversity Equality and diversity is very important part in our society and it is essential to have as everyone has the right to be treated appropriately as each individual is different to one another. This may be particularly related to the people who may be vulnerable to prejudice and discrimination by others such as racism. Having equality means that people in the society will have the chance to speak out their voice and give every individual person a chance to fulfil their potential. On the other hand, diversity means understanding and promoting 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, or other ideologies. It is the exploration of these differences in a safer positive and nurturing environment. It is also about the understanding each other and moving beyond simple tolerance to embracing and celebrating the rich dimensions of diversity contained within each individual. Equality and diversity makes people recognise, respect and value the differences that people have. Promoting equality should remove discrimination in all of the aforementioned areas. Bullying, harassment or victimization is also considered as equality and
Factors that influence child development
Factors that influence development There are a lot of factors which effect a child's development some of these are: * Family structure * Housing * Sibling rivalry Family Structure There are many reasons why children live in a range of family structures. Some of these structures are: * Nuclear family * Extended family * Lone-parent family * Reconstituted family Nuclear Family This family is usually classed as "normal." This usually consists of parents and children. Parents are usually the primary carers. Katie lives in this type of family she has two older brothers and two older sisters. She has a lot of role models living with her and also people she can depend on and learn from. Extended family This is where relatives live with the family. The relatives living with the family would help care for the child. The child would develop a strong relationship with a lot of members of the family it also has a strong sense of security. Lone-parent family The child lives with only one parent some reasons for this maybe * One parent has died * Parents separated * Single parent by choice * Teenage pregnancy The effect this will have on the child is that the child may not get enough attention because the parent might be working or for some other reason. Reconstituted family This happens when either a widowed or divorced parent remarries thus adding step
The Principles Underpinning the Role of the Practitioner Working with Children
Unit 5 Assignment- The Principles Underpinning the Role of the Practitioner Working with Children (E1) What are the responsibilities of the practitioner in professional relationships? Respect parents views as they are the main carers and first educators of the child. Consider all parents wishes and offer them high standards for their child. Listen to their views and concerns. As well as talking to parents you should respect confidentiality. As you may come across sensitive information, and learners need to be aware of legislation within the setting they are in. The Data Protection Act 1998 protects individual rights and helps prevent information spreading. Respecting diversity of family structures, backgrounds, languages, culture and beliefs are also part of the practitioner's role. If other children discriminate a child it could affect the child in later life. The child could develop serious emotional and social problems. So it's important for practitioners to notice signs of discrimination. Working in part of a good working team enables a happy environment for the children and their parents. With a good relationship with parents children will settle in more quickly and helps the practitioner understand the child's needs. Many children go into early years nervous and afraid as they may be leaving their parents for the first time. Practitioners should enable a

INFLUENCES OF SOME LIFE FACTORS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF INDIVIDUALS
VALERIE ABONE NAT DIP HEALTH STUDIES YR 1 LIFE SPAN DEVELOPMENT TUTOR: TRISH GREGORY TASK TWO P2 INFLUENCES OF SOME LIFE FACTORS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF INDIVIDUALS. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTOR: Water and sanitation: Physical development: This is one aspect of our environment that greatly affects the life span and the physical development of individuals both children and adults. Homes in poor condition that is dirty homes, damp and cold and also surrounding areas that are in poor sanitary condition can affect ones development in that many people living in such areas always develop certain illnesses that affect their growth and health. If an area has little or no water that can cause death or dehydration. While if the water is dirty it can also bring about illnesses such as diarrhoea and many others. As such people in such conditions and areas don't develop properly as those living in highly sanitary areas with good drainage and water systems. Intellectual development: This can also influence one's intellectual development in that people living in such areas either have very low income and cannot afford to go to school or they live very far from the city that they cannot go to school. People living in such areas often fall sick and this might affect their education and intellectual development and they might end up
Why MRSA is difficult to treat.
Why MRSA is difficult to treat MRSA is difficult to treat because of it's resistance. Acquired immune processes include the body's adaptive response to antibiotics. ie when given the body makes specific antibodies to combat MRSA by destroying it's outer membrane. Antibiotics can be given orally or through injections. The main antibiotics used are vancomycin and rifampicin and they are most effective when used in combination. If it's used early then it can eradicate the infection within 48 hours. Moreover, as a preventative measure it may be given immediately after surgery (particularly invasive techniques.) Vancomycin is considered the "last line of defence" but alone it may be ineffective as, although rare in the UK certain strains of (non-classic) MRSA can be resistant to the antibiotic(s.) Vancomycin can also have serious side effects. Patients can develop experience liver and kidney damage. Alternative antibiotics in use are linezolid and flucloxacillin. Flucloxacillin is more common in community practice. In l994 a warning was placed on the listing of its use due to a possible association with cholestatic hepatitis. However, with MRSA infections, the morbidity and potential mortality are high and the benefits of flucloxacillin far outweigh the risks. Linezolid is also effective. Infact, it may be equivalent to Vancomycin in the treatment of MRSA infections.
Explain two specific behaviors using psychological perspectives
P4 - Explain two specific behaviors using psychological perspectives P5 - Use examples to explain the contribution of psychological perspectives to the management and treatment of two specific behaviors M3 - Analyze the role of psychological perspectives in understanding the two specific behaviors Introduction In this assignment I will be explaining two specific behaviors using psychological perspectives. In this part I will be talking about phobias and fears, and OCD. Every behavior of an individual has an explanation with psychological perspectives which makes us understand the behavior in more depth and why the individual is behaving accordingly. There are quite a few psychological perspectives that I have learnt about throughout my lessons. These are behaviorist, social learning theory, psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive, developmental and biological. All of these perspectives explain a certain behavior in a unique way to others, however some can be explained together and others on their own. Phobia and fears This is my first specific behavior which I will explain by giving three psychological perspectives. Phobia is an excessive fear or unreasonable irrational fear. However a fear is an unpleasant reaction when face-to-face with real danger. It could be towards someone, object, place, situation etc. there are many types of phobias which are towards all sorts
Describe the potential effects of discriminatory practice on those who use health or social care services.
Assignments P2, P3 and M1 P2 - Describe discriminatory practice in health and social care. Discrimination is the unfair treatment of a person due prejudice, stereotyping and being judgemental. People can discriminate for a number of reasons; this could range from race, gender ethnicity, disability, Discrimination can be obvious or not obvious depending on the situation, overt discrimination is obvious and open so every one can see and know what's happening, the opposite of overt discrimination this is more hard to see or notice as its discrimination which is hidden. A basis of discrimination could be stereotyping someone, stereotyping someone is creating ideas of characteristics without even know them; this is a basis as the stereotyping could lead to discrimination by treating someone unfairly. An example of this could be in a social care setting where a nursery helper stereotypes a child with ADHD as trouble and being difficult so they decide to leave the child out of group activities this could cause the child distress and upset and is a form of bullying, the nursery helper may not realise the effects and what they are doing to the child, but it is discrimination due to them leaving the child out. Prejudice could be a key factor that leads to discrimination; prejudice is a judgement made about someone when a person can know nothing about the person it also involves
