I am going to explain the five barriers to effective communication within a health and social care environment
Ruth Green BTEC Level 2 Diploma in Health and Social Care Unit 1 Communication in Health and Social Care P2 In my assignment I am going to explain the five barriers to effective communication within a health and social care environment and how they affect the communication cycle. Like language, cultural, slouching and crossing legs, noise and emotion. In health and social care they are many barriers to communication like Language. Language is a barrier to communication because people will not understand each other, because they speak different languages. This barrier affects the communication cycle because, for example in a care home if a service user speaks another language like Punjabi and they do not speak English it will be very difficult for the service user and the carer to understand each other. The other barrier to communication in health and social care is Cultural differences. Communication can be difficult between two cultures. For example, it is seen as polite and respectful to make eye contact when speaking to someone in western culture, but in other cultures, for example in East Asia, it can be seen as rude and defiant. In health and social care, a patient in a hospital could be trying to talk to the doctor but the doctor may not be able to understand what the patient is saying because of the patient’s accent. Also the patient might leave some

M2 Outline a two-day diet plan for two service users with specific dietary needs
Unit 11 M2 Outline a two-day diet plan for two service users with specific dietary needs Diet plan for Bill Surrey 78yrs of age and suffering from type two diabetes Day one Breakfast – Can include scrambled egg with two slices of wholemeal toast and a glass of orange juice. If necessary then a tsp of margarine can be added to the toast. This meal is well balanced as he will get enough carbohydrates from his wholemeal toast which will release energy slowly but not too many carbohydrates. He will also have a portion of one of his five a day with the glass of orange juice and some protein from his scrambled egg. Snack one – This snack should be of fruit, preferably not an orange as he has already had orange juice and it is recommended to consume a rainbow of fruit and veg. Fruit is a great snack as it has necessary carbohydrates for energy along with key vitamins. Lunch – A bowl of vegetable soup, an apple and a turkey sandwich of two slices of wholemeal bread, 1 ounce of turkey and a teaspoon of light mayonnaise. This will give him not too many carbohydrates but just enough. He is also getting 2 portions of his five a day. Snack two – A fat-free yoghurt of 6oz with added vitamin D. This will give the necessary carbohydrates for energy and some calcium and vitamin D. Dinner – 5 ounces of boiled chicken breast, with a cup of boiled broccoli, 2/3 cup of
Michael Argyle's communication cycle and Tuckmans stages of group interaction.
P2 Theories of communication You can get two different types of theories of communication and they are: Michael Argyles communication cycle and Tuckman’s stages of group interaction. The communication cycle Communication style is when two individuals starting communicating and the ideas they have are understood. For this there is a two way process included for effective communication. This process helps the other individual to understand the opinion of the other individuals. This also includes the procedure of checking understanding, using active or even reflective thinking. Michael Argyle had strong points of view that inter personal communication skill that is can be learned and developed. He made a communication cycle that had a code that you had to translate. This also meant that you had to work out what the opposite individuals behaviour was. Furthermore communication cycle meant that you have to interpret ide code what others are communicating and adds to you also adapting your own behaviour to have effective communication but this can also mean non-verbal and verbal communication do not have to be straight forward. The communication cycle is up-front and it goes step by step. * An idea occurs: this is when the individual knows they want to start communicating. An example may be if a child is at a nursery and he or she wants something they will start
Unit 10 - Explain why children may be taken into care. Describe types of neglect and abuse.
Lissa Williams Unit 10 – Caring for children and young people Pass one – Outline why children and young people may need to be looked after away from their families Children’s Act 1989, 2004 Section 3 (1) in this act parental responsibility means all rights, duties, power, responsibilities and authority which by law a parent or a child has in relation to the child and their property. Children’s Act 1989, describes how local authorities should carry out their responsibilities in relation to care planning, placement and case review for looked after children. These responsibilities are designed to support the local authority in its primary duty set out in section 22(3) of the 1989 Act to safeguard and promote the welfare of the looked after child and to act as good corporate parents to enable each looked after child to achieve his/her full potential in life. A key principle of the 1989 Act is that children are best looked after within their families, with their parents playing a full part in their lives, unless compulsory intervention in family life is necessary. Children in Care This is where the local authority has gone to court for a care order, usually against a parents’ wishes. The local authority may place the child with relatives, with foster carers or in a community (or residential) home until he/she’s 18 years old or the court end the order. Under
Public Health Unit 12 P1 Describe key aspects of public health in the UK
P1 – Describe key aspects of public health in the UK Introduction: In this task I will be producing a description of each approach to health education. I will also use examples that may help my explanations. There are 6 key aspects of public health I will be talking about are: * Monitoring the health status of the population * Identifying the health needs of the population * Controlling communicable diseases * Promoting the health of the population * Developing programs to reduce risk and screen for disease early on * Planning and evaluating the provision of health and social care * Monitoring the health status of the population Monitoring the health status means tracking changes in the health of the population and alerting people to potential problems for example: the rising levels of obesity within the population. Another example can be that in another country the drug use can rise due to certain amount of people taking drugs. While monitoring the health status’s of the population we should be very aware that in certain countries is very much different. Health problems can rise in America, whereas in the United Kingdom it can be very low. Although the basic purposes of monitoring are few, the uses for monitoring data are many and have been well described elsewhere. The purpose of a particular monitoring system may depend on the level of understanding a

P4: Explain potential differences in care needs of individuals at different life stages
P4: Explain potential differences in care needs of individuals at different life stages Whatever life stage that a person is undergoing they will have certain care needs. These care needs can be placed into several categories. In this essay I will be explaining the care needs of individuals during infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. I will explain how these care needs can be similar at each life stage but also be comparing the different life stages and explaining how care needs may be different. The categories that I will be using when explaining these care needs are physical care needs, intellectual care needs, emotional care needs and social care needs. Every individual has physical, intellectual, emotional and social care needs. Physical care needs are to do with our bodies and trying to maintain the effective functioning of our bodies. Intellectual care needs involve the mind and brain and the need to learn new things and keep the mind and brain functioning effectively. Emotional care needs involve our feelings and being able to understand our own feelings as well as other peoples feelings. Finally our social care needs involve a person’s relationships and maintain health social relationships. It is important that all of these care needs are provided for people at different life stages for them to grow and develop as a healthy individual person.
Effective Communication
Describe The Stages Of The Communication Cycle And Reflect On Your Own Experiences To Explain How The Cycle May Be Used To Communicate Difficult, Complex And Sensitive Issues (P2, M1) There are many ways of communicating with people such as speaking, and using sign language but to do so effectively requires a cycle. It s called the communication cycle for obvious reasons and like the ability to communicate it is innately built, individuals do it automatically. To carry out the cycle successfully two or more parties must be present. Communicating involves expression of thought and interpretation of the other parties understanding. There are six phases of the communication cycle, the first is expressing your own thoughts, the second is watching the other person non verbal response and body language. Thirdly is interpreting the other person's body language and trying to work out what he or she is thinking, next is listening to his or her response to what we have said, following this is trying to make sense of his or her response. Finally the original speaker expresses new ideas to try and clarify our ideas. For a simplified version see the diagram below (www.dyad.org) However using the communication cycle doesn't mean that it is correctly used all the time, sometimes people listen but they do not hear just what the other person is trying to discuss, to use the communication
Does attachment theory provide a sound basis for advice on how to bring up children?
Pg 1 of 7 Gail Adams T.M.A 03 U7740974 Does attachment theory provide a sound basis for advice on how to bring up children? One crucial concept of bringing up children is attachment. British psychologist John Bowlby (1907-90) developed the attachment theory and argued that a basic characteristic of human need was to form strong emotional bonds with particular individuals, deprivation of secure attachments through separation, bereavement or emotional distance he believed caused disruption to a child's development. Mary Ainsworth(1985) a student of Bowlby extended upon his theories focusing on the nature and quality of attachment relationships between infant and primary caregiver. There have been many critiques to Bowlbys attachment theory and all will be examined in order to answer the question. The attachment theory will be looked at in respect to its practical implications for child rearing in the context of both family members and day care facilities. Evidence from research has provided information about factors which form the foundations of secure and insecure attachments these have implications for different types of child care. Very early, children develop internal working models, internalised ideas about the nature of their relationships with primary caregivers, they base these on former interactions and experiences (Bowlby,1969). These models remain
