...and citizenship of individuals with learning disabilities. The Mental Capacity Act 2005: This act was introduced in England and Wales in 2007 and aims to protect the rights of people whose mental capacity is in doubt and people who do not have mental capacity. It provides a framework for making decisions on behalf of the individual. It tells us what to do if we are involved in the care, treatment, support of people aged 16 and over who lack mental capacity to make decisions. The Act states that everyone is assumed to make decisions for themselves unless shown otherwise. If it is not clear whether someone has the capacity to make a decision concerning a specific issue and assessment of their capacity should be carried out. The Mental Health Act 1983: The court of protection exists to safeguard the interests of anyone who is incapable by reason of mental disorder of managing and administrating their property and affair. Anyone found on medical evidence to meet these criteria is known as a patient. The courts duties are normally carried out by appointing a receiver for a patient. The Mental Health Act 1983 gives the court power to authorise virtually any transaction on behalf of a patient and to do whatever is necessary or expedient for the maintenance or benefit of a patient, their family and dependants. The Equality Act 2010: The Act covers nine protected characteristics, which cannot be used as a reason to treat...

...1.1 – Person-centred care is a way of thinking and doing things. It means putting the individual and their families at the centre of decisions and seeing them as experts, working alongside professionals to get the best outcome. Person-centred practise is all about having a focus upon individual’s needs. Every individual has different needs, wishes, choices, likes and dislikes. We must treat everyone fairly and respect their dignity and privacy at all times. We cannot stereo-type or tarnish everyone with the same brush even if they have the same religion, disability or alike in any other way. Despite what they may have in common, every single person is an individual and should be treated like one. 1.2 – All approaches to person-centred practice work well and personally I don’t think there is a particular ‘best approach’. When used correctly, every approach will have the same benefits and outcomes. Also different approaches would work better in some work placements than others the same as work better with some individual’s than others. Below I have compared just a few different types of approaches: Essential Lifestyle Planning. (ELP). This plan looks at: - what people like and admire about the individual - what is most important to the individual - the communication - how to provide the support - identification of successful methods - how to solve problems and/or overcome any barriers ELP is a good for a day to day basis. It’s a good way to start to get...

...Page 1 PSYCHOLOGY IN THE CONTEXT OF HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE • What is ‘psychology’ and why is it so important in the context of health and social care? • What do we mean by ‘health’ and why is psychology central to the effective delivery of health and social care? • What are the main approaches to psychological thinking and research? • Who are psychologists and what do they contribute to the promotion of health and well-being? Introduction This chapter emphasizes the importance of psychology in the context of health and social care. For many years, psychology and the other social sciences were viewed by the medical profession as ‘soft sciences’, interesting but unimportant. With the advent of research into the links between physical and mental states in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries it is now possible to demonstrate that psychology can make a fundamental difference to physical as well as mental health. In this chapter, we explore the nature of psychology and its relevance to health and social care. We outline the different schools of thought and methods of inquiry in psychology. We seek to distinguish between psychology as an academic discipline and popular notions of psychology, and identify professionals whose practice is mainly concerned with the application of psychology. In order to show how psychology can be applied to health and social care, we introduce a family scenario whose characters appear in examples throughout the book. What is psychology...

...P1 – Explain the principal sociological perspectives I will explain the meaning of different sociological perspectives. Sociology is the study of social behaviour, including its origins, developments, organization and institutions. There are seven sociology approaches to describe the human behaviour: * Functionalism * Marxism * Feminism * Interactionism * Postmodernism * The New Right * Collectivism 1 – Functionalism The Functionalism perspective is based largely on the work of Herbert Spencer, Emilie Durkheim, Talcott Parsons and Robert Mertoni. According to Functionalism, society is a system of interconnected parts that work together in harmony to maintain a state of balance and social equilibrium for the whole. (www.laulina.hawaii.edu) The Functionalism sees social structure or the organization of society as more important than the individual. Because society is based on agreed norms and values Talcott theory’s said that individuals are born into society and become the product of all the social influences around them as they are socialised by various institutions such as the family, education, media and religion. To live in a society or organization it is important to have values and live on agreed norms, because will give us necessary structure to build these values and fallow these norms. The social consensus, order and integration are key beliefs of functionalism as this allows society to continuo and progress because there are shared...

...Task 1 1.1 Compare your personal values and principles of support for working in health and social care In the health and social care field, the performance of an individual at work is very much influenced by the Personal values of the individual and principles. As this health and social care profession involves a lot of communication and interaction with individuals from different background, it is highly essential for the care workers to have a greater awareness of self values. Inadequate and uneven care rendered results for the uprising issues in this field are mainly because of not realising the importance of personal values by the health care workers. Awareness of one’s own self makes a major contribution in improving personal qualities and the individual’s social skills. 1.2 Discuss and Identify the advantages and disadvantages of how personal culture and experience influences on your own role in supporting users in health and social care I strongly believe quality is of more priority than quantity. From my personal experience as a student nurse, while providing care to the clients, I will make sure that the relationship between the nurse and client should always be client centred and for the well being of the client, rather spending hours to ensure the basic needs were being provided. In our whole life we develop personal beliefs, and each belief can be altered/modified and new beliefs arise every now and then. I regard to this there is something which is very...

...Case Study This assignment will outline my Practice Learning Opportunity (PLO) setting including my role. It will then explore the social work process in reference to one service user which includes; preparation for contact, assessment, intervention, review, endings and an evaluation of my work. Within this, multi- disciplinary work will also be explored identifying its strengths and limitations. The assignment will outline legislation and policy that determine social work roles and responsibilities to service users such as The Human Rights Act (1998) and Transforming Your Care (2011). Furthermore the assignment will consider how knowledge, skills, values, anti-oppressive practice and professional codes of conduct such as the Northern Ireland Social Care Council (NISCC) influenced my practice. My (PLO) is a community eldercare team, which provides a service for elderly people over the age of 65. The eldercare team works with service users, their families and professionals within a framework of anti-discriminatory practice to promote each person’s individual value. The aim of the team is to develop personal, social, health and greater independence for service users to enhance their strengths. Referrals are made by a range of professionals, including Gp’s, Hospital Social Workers and Self/Family referral. The eldercare team is situated in large town with a population of 59,607 according to NINIS (2011). Almost 17% (10,133) of this population is aged over 65, which is...

...Functionalism The functionalist perspective is a very important perspective as it focuses on describing each part of society and how they all add to the overall society. The different parts all depend on one another and include the government, which provides children with the education they need, this will then lead on to them being more likely to get a higher paid job which means that there are more taxes paid which helps to keep the government running. With this system, society will be stable and promote productivity but if it does not go to plan, parts of the system will fail and have to find new order and stability. Functionalism highlights the order that exists in society and focuses on social stability and public values. Some functionalists focus on the function of human behaviours, one of these sociologists is Robert Merton who categorised human functions into two sections; ‘manifest functions’ which included the actions that were obvious and intentional such as attending a church to worship as part of a religion and ‘latent functions’ which are actions that are neither intentional or obvious such as when going to the church to worship they are unintentionally going to also separate their personal values from their uniform, work or religious values. Functionalism doesn’t encourage people to be an active role or go about changing their social environment, even if these changes could be useful and good for them. By using the basics to the functionalist perspective, Talcott...

...assignment is to discuss how the module content and practice experience has contributed to my development as a nurse. It will involve reflecting on a particular episode of care delivery to a patient by me and my nursing mentor whilst on my 5 week placement and how I felt that the Foundation to nursing practice module helped equip me with both the knowledge and skills. In education for health-care professions it is recognised as an essential tool for helping students to make links between theory and practice and enables you to develop your knowledge and skills towards becoming a professional. Reflective practice is noted as being fundamental to development as a professional. To protect anonymity and maintain confidentiality the patient focused on this assignment will be known as patient A, furthermore consent was gained from patient A and they were provided with clear information on what would be included in this assignment and where informed that no recognisable information would be given, this is done in accordance with the Nursing & Midwifery Councils Code of Professional Conduct (2002) guidelines. Nursing assessment is considered to be the first step in the process of delivering individualised nursing care which is defined by A Dictionary of Nursing (2008) as care that is planned to meet the particular needs of one patient, as opposed to a routine applied to all patients suffering from the same disease. Every person is an individual they...

...and/or have mental health problems who have been arrested, who are on remand or who have been to court and found guilty of a crime (Foundation for People with Learning Disabilities, FPLD, 2012). There are high, medium and low secure units all of which need to be high quality, patient centred and recovery orientated (Joint Commissioning Panel for Mental Health, JCPMH, 2013). There is a need for forensic health services as the JCPMH (2013) claim that patients in these services have complex needs and these needs typically cannot be met by commissioning generic health services. The time spent in forensic units depends on an individual’s recovery and progress towards rehabilitation. However, although the public protection remains the priority, there is a increasing consensus that forensic inpatient services may not always be an appropriate environment for those with severe mental illness and that detention can exacerbate mental ill health, increase the risk of self-harm and suicide and heighten vulnerability (The Institute Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, 2015). The Royal College of Psychiatry (2013) claim that people with a LD who come into contact with specialist learning disability mental health services often have a complex mix of LD, mental illnesses, personality disorders, substance misuse, other developmental and/or physical disorders including epilepsy and possibly present with challenging behaviours. The recent report from the Department of Health (2012a) states...

...P1 The behaviourist perspective focuses solely on observing human behaviour; behaviourist psychologists believe that new born babies are born with a ‘clean slate’ – that we adopt our means for behaviour by learning. Pavlov was a behavioural psychologist and he was conducting an experiment on how the production of saliva helps dogs to digest food. However, Pavlov found that his dog would sometimes salivate before his food arrived. This lead him to realise that the dog had learnt to associate his food with other stimulus; for example reaching for the dog food or picking up his bowl. Pavlov then began to ring a bell whenever the dog would receive food, and eventually found that the dog would produce saliva whenever the bell was rung. This is known as classical conditioning, which Pavlov applied to humans. This is when a stimulus creates a new response which is learned by association. To begin with, Pavlov’s dog innately reacted to receiving food by producing saliva; here, the food is an unconditioned stimuli and the saliva produced is an unconditioned response. However, when another stimulus (the neutral stimuli) such as the bell, is added to the unconditioned stimuli, this also creates the unconditioned response. With consistency the new stimulus will create the conditioned response; therefore producing saliva when the bell is rung. Here, the bell has become a conditioned stimuli and the salivating has become a conditioned response. American psychologist Watson conducted an experiment...

...ONE – Understanding couples Intimacy involves: love, affection and caring, deep attachment to another person. The TRIPOD of couple relationships An intimate relationship consists of three factors that form a tripod on which the relationship rests. 1. Passionate attraction (PA) 2. Mutual expectations (ME) 3. Personal intentions (PI) Passionate attractions (PA) → Individual experiences intensely pleasurable sensations when thinking about or being with a new partner. → Blushing, trembling, breathlessness, high sexual desire → Referred to as infatuation = passing love “a foolish and unreasoning love’ → Infatuation is not a realistic / accurate appraisal of the relationship / idealisation → Negative / flaws in the idealised beloved may be intellectually recognised, but disregarded as endearingly special. Person chooses to ignore the negatives → Normal phase in the process of relationships → Infatuation can lead to a lasting relationship – but it mostly fades away and relationship based on infatuation alone will fail. Love → Involves physical attraction - deeper → Love encompasses PA, ME and PI → People rely mostly on life experiences to guide them to their own unique way of demonstrating love. → Eric Fromm “love is active concern for the life and growth of the person we love” → Love is deep, unselfish, caring, deep respect Hauck’s basic principles about love • It is not just the person you love, but rather what he/she does for you - actions speak louder than verbal promises of love and...
