...The discussion held amongst me and the patient experiences with the different variables that affected my reaction to a compassionate and patient centred care. During my conversation communication techniques and caring conversation strategies were influencing factors to promote competence and person-centred care; because communication is a fundamental skill and a foundation in healthcare experiences. Additionally, through verbal and non-verbal communication, patients express their symptoms and worries and their desires, trusts and fears in treatment and care. We need to investigate the client's circumstance by listening and asking questions to make the conversation successful; talking about care and treatment options with them and provide them an information. Inadequate...

...The Nursing Shortage Lennox Hill hospital is part of Northwell Health, which is a health care organization offering clinical care, community health, education and research and more (“About Northwell”, n.d.). The clinical care division consists of 21 hospital, 450 patient facilities and many specialized employees like doctors, nurses and physicians. Northwell Health is offering its services to approximately 7 million people in and around New York City. Besides the hospitals, the organization runs three facilities for skilled nursing (“ClinicalCare”, n.d.). The location of Lennox Hill hospital is Upper East Side Manhattan. Thus, the advertisement shown in Figure 1 should appear in the regional edition of the New York Times, which is intended for the New York City metropolitan area. The advertisement is half-letter size, because this is a size, which catches the viewer’s eye immediately. Furthermore, larger sizes would be connected with greater expenses. It is advisable to choose the Sunday print circulation of the newspaper. The latter reaches about 1,217,201 people and is the third largest in the United States (The New York Times, 2014; Associated Press, 2012). Furthermore, a study found that approximately 30% of the readers of the New York Times are between 18 and 29 (Mahapatra, 2013). This is the target group to focus on, because these young people are tomorrow’s doctors and nurses. The advertisement shown in Figure 1 is designed wake the interest of professionals and high...

...Enhancing end-of-life care (EoLC) is a core component of international governments’ health policies. Across the globe, nurses make significant contributions to EoLC and, at this delicate time, have the power to positively influence the health and wellbeing of those facing death. Indeed, health promotion is a core component of the nurse’s role. Originating in the UK, EoLC pathways have been adopted around the world.Their broad aim is to optimise the quality of the dying process, enabling people to ‘die well’ across care settings. This paper examines EoLC pathways in terms of promoting health and wellbeing in this discrete stage of the dying trajectory. Concepts of health and health promotion are described briefly and the idea of health-promoting palliative care and its association with a good death examined. The ensuing discussion relates to two EoLC documents. While acknowledging that much has been achieved it is argued that, despite the potential for promoting health and wellbeing, a professionally led, biomedical approach predominates, and in terms of promoting health and wellbeing at the end of life there is a pressing need for proactive advance care planning at an earlier point in the illness trajectory.

...MSc Health and Social Care Management Strategic Business and Service Planning Business plan for an Old Age Care Home in UK Submitted To: Marion Jackman Submitted By: Santi Thomas Date: 29th May 2015 Table of Contents 1. Introduction 3 1.1 Setting the Objective 3 2. Market Analysis 5 3. Market Strategy Plan 8 4. Operational Plan 12 5. Current and Future Financial Plan 13 6. Ownership and Commitment 14 7. Future Scenario 15 8. Conclusion 16 References 18 Self Assessment Form 21 1. Introduction In developed nations like the UK and Japan, there is an exponentially growing need of care and nursing homes for the elderly. This is because UK and other developed nations have a high percentage of ageing and mature population. Their population rate is poor and the people above the age of 45 are more than 65% of the population. This has led to a drastic change in the overall health and social care requirements in the country (Euromonitor, 2015). NHS is concerned and taking steps to fulfil this gap but it requires efforts both at public and private level to achieve this mammoth task of providing residential and nursing facilities to people above the age of 60 who are living on their pensions (Oswald et al, 2007). There are a large number of elderly people who by force or by choice live in old age care homes and hence the quality and quantity of these centres should increase manifold based on...

...Model is a valuable and functional assessment tool that evaluates the different cultural variables and how those variables effect health, illness and behaviors (Giger, 2013). This philosophy considers the uniqueness of each individual, understanding that the individual is unique, a product of their culture, religion, environment socioeconomic status and diversity. Giger and Dividhizar propose that, as health care providers, we need an acute awareness of the ethnicity and culture of each individual, having the knowledge and understanding to care for them as their culture, religion, values and belief system necessitates (Giger & Davidhizar, 2002). This model of nursing assessment focuses on six factors, or phenomena, that address important areas of cultural influence which impact our ability to provide diverse clients with the most effective and efficient care. The six phenomena are communication; space; social organization; time; environmental control; and biological variations. This assignment involves the use of the Transcultural Nursing Assessment model in the care of Ms. B, an 82 year old, African American female. Introduction America has been called the melting pot of the world. The term indicates that America is a county made up of immigrant cultures, religions and various ethnic groups from all over the world; a land of opportunity where all are accepted.

He has heard about a new clinical research trial open to insulin-dependent diabetics that pays $100 a week to research subjects. He has also been quite depressed and begun to wonder if his children might not be better off without him. He has several life insurance policies that would pay off generously if something were to happen to him, and he has broached the subject of assisted suicide with his long-time physician. Is there a way, he asks his physician, to have his death look like it was from natural causes so his children could collect on the policy? CHAPTER QUESTIONS 1. What ethical responsibilities do health care professionals have to their patients? 2. What ethical rights do patients have?...

...ABSTRACT My name is Kelechi Ogechi Ibekwe, and I am a Master’s degree candidate with Liberty University Theological Seminary in the Theological Studies disciple. This is in preparation towards equipping me for the end time commission by our Lord and Master Jesus Christ as He commanded in Mark 16:15 “Go ye into the world and preach the gospel”. I believe our number one aim of learning and preparing in His kingdom is to make more disciples to Him, even while encouraging one another in counseling. My steadfast goal in life is to know the Lord more, walk with Him, and then see Him face to face when He comes. For me, everything in life is a phase that someday will pass, but our desire in this life is to serve the Lord in all we do. Also in line with that, I am learning to encourage others with the utilization of the Solution Based Pastoral Counseling (SBBPC). With the inclusion of the Hawkins’ Pastoral Assessment Model, and defined teachings from Benner’s (2003) Strategic Pastoral Counseling & Kollar’s (2011) Solution – Focused Pastoral Counseling, it has been simply explained on the best approach to achieve this aim. This project emphasizes on an example linked with the SBBPC method with the general concentration being Brody, from Crossroads: A Story of Forgiveness (Harrison 2007). It all comes down to the way that Brody’s emotions are not put into consideration, especially by his father. Steps are gradually taken here on how to improve Brody’s state of mind with the aid of...
