Explain barriers to effective communication within a health and social care environment
Unit 1 communication Task 2 P2 Explain barriers to effective communication within a health and social care environment Barriers to effective communication; The communication cycle – If any part of the communication cycle is not played out properly like the message not being sent properly or if the message is not received correctly then this will then become a barrier to effective communication and in a place like a care home this will not help when it comes to dealing with difficult, complex and sensitive issues. This can be overcome by making sure the communication cycle is used correctly stage by stage. Environment – Any issues with the environment around us when we communicate can be a barrier to effective communication. Like if it is too noisy in a classroom while teaching, the student will not be able to hear the message or will be easily distracted. It could even be that that the chairs are uncomfortable and it can affect one’s concentration. Or it could be that a patient with sight impairments cannot see in the reception area because it is dimly lit. This can be overcome by making sure

E4- Include evidence of the effects of these factors on children's health. There are many factors which can affect children's health and well-being throughout their lives. The practitioner and parents should be a good role model to the children/child, this is because children will copy the behaviour. Diets are very important during the age of 0-3 years, as this can harm the unborn child during their development. This means making sure mother does not eat these foods that she shouldn't such as
Barriers to Communication.
Nasima Khanom Barriers to Communication (Direct quotes from health and social care intermediate book-Josephine de Souza) When we communicate, our ability to get our message across affectively to others can be hampered by a number of barriers. As a care worker it is important to recognise barriers to your own our own communication and learn how to overcome them. In health and social care and early years settings these barriers include:- .) Language As a multiethnic society, the UK, the UK has many citizens whose first language is not English and who may find English difficult to understand. Many native speakers of English also find the complicated medical words on hospital signs and the jargon of health care workers hard to understand. In all of these circumstances, language can be obstacle to effective communication between care workers and their patients and clients. 2.) Culture In a multiethnic society like the UK there are a lot cultural differences between different groups in the population. These differences can affect the way people communicate and interact, which can sometimes cause communication problems for example, the amount of eye contact, the physical closeness or proximity and the amount of touching that people do when they communicate varies accordingly to culture. It is important to be aware of this when working with people in care settings in order to

Neglect includes failing to provide a child with food, shelter, basic health care, supervision, nurturing or protection from risks. • risk factors for child maltreatment,
Development Through the Lifestages Physical, Intellectual, Emotion and Social Development of Pregnancy and 0-3 years old Baby
Yagmur Aslan Group A Tracy Podbransky Development Through the Lifestages Physical, Intellectual, Emotion and Social Development of Pregnancy and 0-3 years old Baby Pregnancy It begins when a fertilized egg cell begins to divide and multiply, it works it's way down into the uterus, eventually attaching to the lining of the uterine wall. The fertilized egg continues to divide and multiply over the next 6-8 weeks allowing the egg to eventually develop into an embryo. Then embryo will continue to develop over the next 4 months forming the lungs, brain, spinal cord, etc. at which point, it is now referred to as a fetus. First Trimester • At just five weeks, your pregnancy will be visible on ultrasound. • By six weeks, the regular flicker of a heartbeat is first visible on ultrasound. • At nine weeks, your baby's head is large in relation to the trunk, and the arms and legs are short and flipper-like. * By the end of the first trimester, your baby's body proportions have changed to become similar to those of a new-born. Second Trimester • At 15 weeks, your baby can make facial expressions and may even suck her/his thumb. • By 17 weeks, an ultrasound should be able to show you the sex of your baby. • By 19 weeks, your baby will be able to hear your voice if you read her a story or sing a song. • Your baby will measure a little over a foot in length and
Diversity and Explain the potential effects of discriminatory practice on those who use health or social care service.
Diversity can be differences in race, heritage, customs, belief systems, physical appearance, mental capabilities, etc.. Diversity should be respected and valued because nobody is completely the same as anyone else, even within the categories above. People tend to reject what is different. Our differences/diversities can lead to growth as a society or it can lead to violence and hatred. We must value our diversity in order to work together for the common good of our society/world. Diversity provides options in life and helps thwart hard times and circumstances by allowing a person to be flexible in how to overcome obstacles instead of staying in the same trench without the ability to move out of it. Diversity means differences such as different religious beliefs, different cultural traditions, music, art, dancing etc. In the context of society and culture, diversity is usually mentioned in discussing multicultural societies. What do people from other cultures contribute when they migrate and become part of a new society. The effects of social class can be felt anywhere. Almost every aspect of society is influenced in some manner by social class. The television shows one watches, and the clothes a person buys affect social class. School, work, religious, and home lives are also linked to the influence of social classes. Schools and the workplace are greatly influenced by
Health and social care level 2 - Human Lifespan Development
UNIT 8 ASSIGNMENT 1 : Human Lifespan Development By Lissa Williams Life Stages Types of development Examples of development Infancy (0-3 years) Physical Intellectual Emotional Social The baby can sit up without support (6 months) The baby can walk without help ( 12 months) The baby can climb onto furniture and kick a ball but cannot catch a ball (2 years) Babies start to cry to express their hunger, anger and pain. They are very curious about what is going on around them. They put anything they can hold in their hands into their mouth.( 6 months) By the age of 1 most babies should be able to name simple objects and by the age of 2 they should start to put words into easy sentences’. Babies by the age of 1 are able to learn how their behaviour can have an effect on others such as their carers/parents and are able to express their emotions through tears, facial expressions and laughter. Babies at the age of 2 are known for their temper tantrum as they struggle to express their emotions. Babies start to recognize their parents, family and friends between the ages of 3 to 6 months old. Language skills are very important as they need to communicate with other people and building relationship with others. They build a relationship with their family members first and then become friends with other people. Childhood (3-11years) Physical
Unit 3: Health, Safety and Security in Health and Social Care
Jessica Bascombe 20174011 Group D Unit 3: Health, Safety and Security in Health and Social Care P1: Physical Environment: Broken equipment/Outdoor Playground: Practitioners should check regularly that objects and equipment are safe or broken such as checking for wear and tear e.g.: rust and fraying toys. Equipment should be checked that they are clean and dry before children start to play on them such as climbing frames and slides this could be a hazard when used wet because the children could slip or fall off or on the climbing frame slides should have a impact absorbing mat underneath it so it if the children fall off they will not injure them self. Practitioners should check that the outdoor playground is free from hazardous waste such as fasces and litter and equipment is used appropriately this would avoid hazards such as children getting cuts, bruises, major and minor injures. Infections: Disposing/Handling Waste: Practitioners use designated bins for specific types of waste such as body fluids and domestic waste. Soiled nappies, gloves and dressings should be disposed in a sealed bag in a covered nappy disposal tub, which then gets disposed when full this helps stop the spread of infection outside of the nursery in large waste disposable bin which is collected everyday waste can be a source of infection so it is important that practitioners follow the
P5 P6 M3 D2 unit 7
P5 For this task we had to participate in two interactions. The first activity we had to do was take the temperature of an elderly lady who had significant loss of hearing. The second was to move a teenager from a bed to a chair that had just had surgery on both his eyes and because of the dressing over the patient's eyes it was obscuring his vision. For this we worked in a group of three and switched the role of career, service user and the observer. P6 In activity 1 I feel as I communicated well with the service user, as I used quite effective eye contact and facial expressions to show my understanding and to let the service user know I was listening. This kind of non-verbal communication is effective when careering for a patient who has loss of hearing in both ear, because the service user can begin to understand what you are doing and can communicate feelings easily through facial expression, which can help her to feel relaxed in the situation. The person who was observing me also felt I used these types of communication quite effectively but she also though I did other things that were very effective- things like the tone of my voice. She thought this was good because I wasn't patronising towards her. Another would be my use of props/signs- as I showed the service user pictures of how I was going to take her temperature and also acted out the procedure on myself, so
Explain the potential effects if 5 life factors on the development of an individual.
Unit 4: Development through the life stages P2: Explain the potential effects if 5 life factors on the development of an individual. It can be hard in today's society to grow up without being affected by it. From environmental factors to your lifestyle there's bound to be something that will stop you from growing up the way you would without these factors. Genetic Factors: Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of children and. It is a defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections and obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body breakdown and absorb food. Physically: It may stop a student from taking part in sports and going on a night out with their friends, it will also be similar for an adult, perhaps interfere with their job and roles i.e. being a parent. Intellectually: It may stop a teenager from going to school/college and with adults it may stop them going into work for long periods of time Emotionally: if you had an illness that you knew you could only ease and not get rid of you would become fed up and depression may be as result of this in both teenagers and adults. Socially: it may stop them from things such as sports or something as simple as going shopping on the
