Person Centred Care Model

Autonomous people are capable for decision making and problem solving. Loss of autonomy & independence is a real fear among older people. A nurse has the responsibility to encourage the older person’s autonomy in any way possible. This can be done by supervision and education of staff to listen & allow the person time to make choices and discussion with their relatives about what is occurring and in which way they can enhance the older person’s autonomy. Freedom:-

Therefore, as the members of the society who live on the service they offer, doctors should meet the needs of humanistic medicine and adapt to it. Of course, some may refute the need of humanistic medicine because it is inefficient. However, practicing humanistic medicine is simple and easy. Just by staying before the patients, by taking their hands, by keeping eye contacts with them are easy starters of humanistic medicine. Therefore, for trained doctors, practicing humanistic medicine can be exact and straightforward medical treatment.

Watson’s nursing theories express that the mind, body and spirit of the patient should be taken into consideration. I agree with Watsons that while providing care the nurse should consider care base on the patient as a whole and not just focus on the disorder. I was taught to use Maslow’s hierarchy of need while planning and providing care for my patients. Maslow’s hierarchy is use to prioritize a patient need from life treating issues to love and belong. This hierarchy helps me to provide care which include the patient mind, body and spirit as Watson had

A doctor should also be able to set agenda and set the agenda with the patient also respect the patient when they feel uncomfortable about the agenda because this can make the patient feel more relaxed as they know what is going to happen next and to make them feel they are also in control of everything. When facing a patient from

In instances where the nurse and patient do not share the same language, a translator may be required. Besides, age differences between the patient and the nurse may affect effective communication (Jahromi & Ramezanli, 2014). Nurse find easy to communicate with elderly patients compared to the young ones since young people may have a sense of insecurity and vulnerability when sick; hence they may tend to act

And also no matter what the age of the elderly patient is they should be told about the treatment they are going to receive and the care. Gender stereotyping: Gender stereotyping between males and females. People assume that males and females are different but they should be treated as same individual people. Some people assume that only women can become doctors but this typical gender stereotyping. However, people may even think that women might not be able to treat a patient correctly according to the illness the patient has.

In as much as nurse are always at the forefront of every healthcare, their nursing care for patients is not adequate without the help of other health team members because the health team work as a group using their individual techniques to achieve high standards in patients’ health outcomes. Good collaboration among nurses makes their work easier as it ensures continuity and prevents errors or mismanagement in patients’ health. 8.2 Social context The shared goal among everyone working within a particular healthcare organization is that of quality

Introduction Effective communication is a core clinical skill required for each and every doctor and patient. The word “communication” is defined as to “share, join, unite, or make understanding common” (Brindley & Reynolds, 2011). Being a good communicator is vital both for a healthcare provider and a patient, since the reason why patients often complain is the lack of effective communication (McCorry & Mason, 2011). Moreover, being able to communicate clearly does not actually mean to have a rich vocabulary or to use scientific terms and technical language, but effective communication skills are necessary for health care professionals to help their patients to be more adherent to medical recommendations and prescriptions (McCorry & Mason,

Moreover, the communication assists in managing emotions of the patients as well as the healthcare because it creates a bond between them. Through effective communication, the patients feel comfortable in discussing their perspective and feeling with the practitioner due to which the process of healthcare service providence becomes easy. Without proper communication, the staff at person-centred care would not be able to interact successfully with the patients. It affects the process of understanding their requirement and needs in a negative manner due to which

Dignity is a complex concept but is a central nursing value. Nursing care should be delivered in a way that respects the uniqueness and dignity of each patient regardless of their culture or religion. Dignity can be defined as “Patient dignity is feeling valued and comfortable psychologically with one’s physical presentation and behaviour, level of control over the situation, and the behaviour of other people in the environment” (Baillie , 2007). A patient’s experience in a hospital environment can depend on whether their dignity is promoted or threatened. Dignity can be violated, that is why it demands respect but also at the same time protection.

A Case Study: Healing and Autonomy Introduction Healing is the process of restoration of normal biological body functioning from a previously experienced illness. Autonomy is the respect of the patient decision on his/her fate. It is a basic right of the patient and the physician ruling ought to abide by it. This makes it mandatory for the health care provider responsibility to respect this patients ' right.

Empathy is a significant and influential part of the healthcare system. It is important for health professionals to include a true understanding and compassion to their patients; moreover, psychologically a person is more capable of getting through a health problem when they are approaching their issue in a more assured approach. This encourages more effective communication between the patient and the healthcare provider. According to Kasley Killam, effective communication is associated with higher patient satisfaction, better adherence to medications, lower likelihood of mistakes, and fewer malpractices. Based on research, effective physician-patient communication results in more positive health outcomes for the patient (Killam 2014).

(Barnes. 2015). Nurse practitioners who received a formal orientation had a quick, easy and better transition experiences, with the satisfaction of their role. The foundation of the novice NP when starting the transition is imperative. Therefore, mentoring programs is also a method that can decrease social isolation, and feelings of inadequacy for the new NP’s.

Thank you very much for your post. I also agree with you that both ANA and AMA has same goal of providing qualitative, affordable, and best care to the public and promote their health and well-being. As you mentioned that AMA has a strong opinion of providing care by a physician –led team, however I believe that both physician and nurse practitioners and even physician assistant can work collaboratively as a team to accomplish the common goal. The AMA should not really be threatened by the advanced practice nurses because we are not here to replace or take away their position. I feel that the AMA is still worried about losing their authoritative position.

I think it gives them encouragement to improve themselves and a sense that they are not alone coping with mental illness. I believe places like this should be part of every community. The Hays Morris House was a very calming environment. It is probably a more therapeutic environment than being held in an acute hospital setting. I was really glad to see these resources available in the community.
