Unit 7 P2 AND M1 explain different sociological approaches to health and ill health and assess the biomedical and socio-medical models of health
Ruth Green Unit 7, P2 & M1 Tutor-Delroy Mackenzie ________________ P2 There are different approaches to health and ill health in sociology, and these include Functionalism, Marxism, Feminism and Interactionism. The World Health Organisation (WHO) in 1974 defines positive health as a state of complete physical mental, social, spiritual and well-being not merely the absence of disease. The holistic approach is based on addressing the individual’s physical, social, emotional and spiritual health needs. The functionalist approach to health and ill health In the functionalist model, Parsons argued that illness is a form of deviance that disturbs the social function of a society; within the functionalist approach to health it studies the relationship between a sick individual and the society as a whole. Parsons stated that for the society to function efficiently the members of the society must be free from illness and must be of well health. Functionalists argued that stability and cooperation are very crucial for a society to function efficiently; functionalists explain that through the process of socialisation we learn our society’s general norms, values and social roles. An example of this is, saying “thank you or please” these are some of the values that are treasured within societies, and an example of a social role would be a grandmother fulfilling the role as
Unit 10 Dealing With Child Abuse - p3 and p4 and p5
Unit 10 Caring for children and young people P3- Explain the factors that would lead to suspicion of maltreatment or abuse. P4- Explain appropriate responses when child maltreatment or abuse is suspected. P5- Explain the strategies and methods that can be used to support children, young people and their families where abuse is suspected or confirmed. M3- Assess strategies and methods used to minimise the harm to children, young people and their families where abuse is confirmed. D2- Justify responses where child maltreatment or abuse is suspected or confirmed referring to current legislations and policies In this assignment I am a support assistant in a reception class and I will be explaining factors that would lead to maltreatment or abuse and appropriate responses when maltreatment or abuse is suspected which I will then explain strategies and methods in which will help or stop further harm or abuse to a child and young person and their families. There are different types of abuse children or young people may go through as they are vulnerable and easy to target. These are the types of abuse that can likely occur; physical, emotional, sexual, intellectual, neglect and bullying. As a support worker if a child is going through physical abuse, they will show signs of bruises, cuts, marks, etc. and this may also cause change in the child’s behaviour. This will lead

Health and Social Care-A2- Unit 2-Practitioner roles - comparing a teacher and a nurse.
A2 Unit 6 Practitioner Roles Main duties and activities of an Adult Nurse: Adult nurses are responsible for working with both old and young adults with diverse health conditions which may be acute, chronic, physical or mental (1). Nurses are the only practitioners that care for patients for 24 hours whilst all the other practitioners such as doctors only see patients for a short amount of time before handing them over to a nurse (5). Adult nurses have many duties as their aim is to try and improve people’s quality of life even if the situations seem difficult (1). Adult nurses face different situations everyday hence why being a nurse can be challenging but also rewarding. A nurse’s day is usually very busy and packed as they are not only looking after one patient but may look after a number of patients at the same time. A nurse’s day consists of; writing patient’s care plans, providing nursing care to patients in hospitals, at home, nursing homes or in other settings. Nurses implement plans and follow up tasks. Some of the day to day duties of adult nurses are preparing patients for operations, cleaning and dressing wounds, monitoring patients’ temperature, pulse and blood pressure (1). Nurses have to observe and record the conditions of their patients and respond quickly to emergencies through reporting any abnormalities to the GP; they check and administer
Factors affecting health and the role of two health professionals.
F912 Health Promotion A01 In this section I will be looking at health and well-being and how different factors affect health. A - What is health and well-being? Health: The old definition of health from the World Health Organisation (WHO) was that it was a ‘state of physical, mental and social well-being and not just necessarily the absence of illness’. However they got criticised for this definition so have updated the definition to “The extent to which an individual or group is able, on the one hand, to realise aspirations and satisfy needs, and on the other hand to change or cope with the environment. Health is therefore seen as a resource of everyday life, not the objective of living it is a positive concept emphasising social and personal resources as well as physical capabilities” I think that this definition is a bit too over complicated however it does include the key elements that I believe to be health. (Fisher, A. et al. 2012. Applied AS Health and Social Care 2nd edition. Oxford: Oxford university press) Well-being: Wellbeing is often simply defined as feeling good and functioning well. This includes having a fair share of material resources, influence and control, a sense of meaning, belonging and connection with people and place and the capability to manage problems and change. There are different perspectives on health and well-being that can
P4 - Explain theories of ageing
P4 - Explain theories of ageing Social Disengagement Theory - In 1961, Elaine Cumming and William Henry came up with the Social Disengagement theory. This theory suggests that when people reach a certain age they begin to disengage with society and withdraw themselves from social activities. It can also be seen as society's fault rather than the individual as society are more likely exclude older people and therefore older people are less likely to involve themselves in society. Cumming and William suggest that older people disengaging from society is a result of them realising that they cannot do the social activities that they did when they were younger, as they are more fragile and they may not have the energy to do them. Older people can disengage from society for a number of different reasons for example; many young people have social media sites and can therefore catch up with friends and family especially if they don’t have enough time to go around their houses. However older people may not know how to use technology such as the internet, mobile phones etc and consequently may not be able to see their family members or their friends as much as they would like to. " Policy Exchange says around 40% of people aged 65 or over in the UK do not have access to the internet at home, while more than five million people have never used the internet."
AO1- The three definitions of health, holistic, positive and negative
AO1: For this part of the unit I am going to be exploring the different and varied definitions of health. I will also give a short report of my completion of the questionnaire I took on what health meant to me as an individual and then give a comprehensive description on the 3 different concepts of health, holistic, positive and negative. Definitions of Health: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” (WHO 1948) “The extent to which an individual or a group is able to realise aspirations and satisfy needs, and to change or cope with the environment. Health is a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living; it is a positive concept emphasising social and personal resources as well as physical capabilities” (WHO 1984) From completing the questionnaire I can understand how the definition of health may vary from person to person depending on their circumstances, such as being on benefits, being disabled and older people. If someone is on benefits their definition of health may vary as they may not be able to afford certain healthy foods in healthy quantities, they may also be suffering physiologically as there emotional wellbeing may be poor due to the absence of purpose that may have previously be found in a job. Another example of when a person’s definition of health could
In this coursework I will be assessing the possible difficulties involved in the diagnosis of the disorders from their signs and symptoms
Unit 14 M1- Assess possible difficulties involved in the diagnosis of the disorders from their signs and symptoms In this coursework I will be assessing the possible difficulties involved in the diagnosis of the disorders from their signs and symptoms Case study A- lung cancer Peter Quinn There can be difficulties when diagnosing disorders because many signs and symptoms are similar to other disorder which is why doctors have to be thorough when making diagnosis so that they don’t miss any signs and get it mixed up with another disorders. There is no single test that can accurately diagnose cancer. The complete evaluation of a patient usually requires a thorough history and physical examination along with diagnostic testing. Many tests are needed to determine whether a person has cancer, or if another condition (such as an infection) is mimicking the symptoms of cancer. Effective diagnostic testing is used to confirm or eliminate the presence of disease, monitor the disease process, and to plan for and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. In some cases, it is necessary to repeat testing when a person’s condition has changed, if a sample collected was not of good quality, or an abnormal test result needs to be confirmed. Diagnostic procedures for cancer may include imaging, laboratory tests (including tests for tumor markers), tumor
P1 & M1 - Communication In A Scientfic Workplace
Task 1 & Task 2 Procedure Practise Reason Communication between Staff When working as a Quality Control technician having good Communication between staff is important because if equipment breaks or you test the product/service and it is not up to the set standard you should be able to contact someone to have the appropriate action taken place. This means you need to be social and talk to others as well as have access to a work email account with the appropriate email address stored. To Inform staff of any issues that may or have occurred during the production line. Maintaining equipment When working as a Quality Control technician Maintaining equipment is important because you need to make sure when checking the quality the equipment is correctly calibrated and had it recorded in a logbook for legal reasons. You also need to make sure before you use the equipment you’re trained correctly to use it. If you’re a school based technician then make sure it is PAT tested to eliminate chances of it hurting students. Make sure you know how to report breakages so it is repaired or replaced as soon as possible. You need to maintain equipment to make sure it is reporting the correct measurements. Health and safety When working as a Quality Control technician Health and Safety is important because if there is an emergency drill you need to know what and how to respond.
M1 Analyse the impact of current safeguarding legislation on day to day work with children and young people
M1 Analyse the impact of current safeguarding legislation on day to day work with children and young people Introduction Safeguarding is a concept that is not only concerned with child protection but also deals with many other issues. The safeguarding children initiative has seen a development and proliferation of professional organisations which supported by legislation, policies and procedures have powers and duties to keep children safe in several areas. These include being safe from accidents, free from bullying, not being forced into marriage, dealing with missing children, dealing with crime and offending behaviour, and above all actively promoting the welfare of children in a healthy and safe environment (Tassoni et al 2010, p 112). The main laws which influence the way the safeguarding system has evolved are the Children Act 1989 and the Children Act 2004. There are, however, many other laws and guidance which are instrumental to creating a safeguarding system to cope with the dynamic nature and challenges of today’s society. Amongst others, these include the Human Rights Act 1998, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006, the Sexual Offences Act 1997 and government guidance in the form of Working Together To Safeguard Children 2013. This essay analyses the impact of some of these statutes and
