Unit 9 Values and Planning in Social Care P1: Explain how the application of relevant principles and values will enable professionals to provide holistic support for individuals who use social services. Holistic care is understanding the whole of a person. According to Beryll and Whitehouse 2010:9, Holistic care means looking at all of a person's needs such as their physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual and providing opportunities for these needs to be met. Empowerment of individuals This is when vulnerable patients, carers and service users are given the right to make their own choices regarding their care plan and they are starting to control their own lives. For example, a way of empowering a service user is by promoting choice and working in partnership with individuals receiving care. Another example is Promoting active and full participation in the planning of their care This will allow professionals to choose the right treatment for their service users and their right needs which will best suit their care plan. In addition, Holistic support is to make sure that service users are at care at all times and it is made for the patient’s physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual development. They have to make sure that the service users are happy, in good health and any additional need they require must be met. Promotion of choice This is giving the individuals the freedom of choice of what kind of care or treatment they would like to
1.1 Explain how and why person centred values must influence all aspects of health and social care work.
Holistic means looking at a situation as a whole and not just part of it. The holistic approach is paramount in driving forward the way service users are assessed and implementing the planning for a robust care and support
In this report I will be investigating how care services meet the needs of individuals by firstly analysing the needs of an individual using care services. Then I will go on to explain the roles of the care planning process in identifying needs, and explain the features of a positive care practise. After explaining that, I will analysis positive care environments and evaluate how they meet needs before finally explaining the role of legislation in promoting a positive care environment.
It is important to identify individual’s specific and unique needs so that they can receive the best care possible. Taking a person centred approach is vital, treating a service user as an individual person and acknowledge that
Introduction - “Empowerment” means you can boost someone’s confidence and promote choice among the service users. It is important to have empowerment in a care home as it can help the service users voice their opinion and make important issues known.
As a support worker, it is imperative that we look at all aspects of health and social care with a holistic approach when planning and provision is concerned. Holistic means looking at a situation as a whole and not just part of it.
Empowerment of individuals is important when planning care as this is the way in which a health or social care worker will encourage an individual to make decisions and take control of their own life. Empowerment is a process that builds a person's self-esteem and confidence in their ability to make decisions. This can also be linked to promotion of
Different people look at health in different ways. It can depend on their culture, environment, religion or age group. In order to have a clear understanding about how the people look at health, I have conducted a survey from a random sample of people who belongs to the above groups (e.g. people of different ages have been chosen).
The Social Care Institute for Excellence aims to improve the lives of people who use care services by sharing knowledge about what works. They provide practical resources including learning materials and offer training and consultancy services for people who plan, deliver and use adults, children’s and families services.

Outcome based care is about putting the customer at the centre of the care service and not prescribing a one size fits all policy. Care should always be bespoke to the customer taking into account their needs and choices. Care should allow the customer to live a fulfilled life, help them identify and achieve the things they would like to do. Outcome based care requires careful planning with full involvement from the customer their relatives should they wish and other health care professionals if required. Teamwork and communication is essential to ensure continuous quality improvement, and process and
Holistic nursing to me is a practice of applying both subjective and objective patient assessment into the plan of care. Not only do we need to look at the physical condition of the patient, but also their social and environmental factors that influence their state of health. When this application process is incorporated into the patient plan of care, we are incorporating all aspects of the patient’s life that help define and create their ideal state of health. In review of several nursing theories discussed by Montgomery-Dossey and Keegan (2012), which incorporate the aspect of holistic nursing practice, I found that Jean Watson’s Theory of Transpersonal Caring was most closely linked to aspects of my current nursing practice.
Empowerment is when individuals are given greater control over decisions and actions that will affect their health. Empowerment is important when working in partnership within health and social care settings, as it can allow honest relationships to develop between service users and
In any practice of care, nurses must be able to provide care that is holistic and centred to the individual client. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), to care for a patient ‘holistically’ is to look beyond their illness or disability and care for them as individuals considering not just physical but also their mental, emotional and spiritual well-being (ref). Whilst, person-centred care is to deliver care moulded to the patients’ personal preferences, treating them with value and respect, ensuring that the care provided is appropriate for their needs (Goodrich and Cornwall, 2008).
A holistic approach to care integrates client’s physical, psychological, emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual needs. It is a whole body approach connecting the body, mind and spirt to enhance the client’s quality of life. The goal is to promote client’s self-esteem and self-care.
