Person Centred Care in the health and social care sector involves collaborating with individuals to plan their care and support in a way that caters their unique needs. This approach minimises the risk of negative, unfair or neglectful treatment. The individual is placed at the core of decision-making, and is empowered to choose and control how their care and support should be provided. Active Participation refers to working method that ensures individuals can engage in everyday activities and relationships as independently as possible. They become active partners in their own care and support. Providing individuals with the necessary equipment to facilitate mobility or enable them to eat and drink without assistance are examples of resources that promote active participation. Person Centred Care should enable individuals to exercise their autonomy by making their own choices, evaluating situations and taking calculated risks. For instance, if a friend offers them food that has been out of the fridge for a while on a hot day, they have the right to assess whether it may cause illness and decide whether or not to consume it. This way, individuals receiving care and support actively contribute to their own safeguarding. Empowering individuals to have control over their own care reduces the likelihood of abuse. This includes ensuring that the care environment upholds their dignity and rights. In any care setting, the following aspects should be emphasised: Maintaining open lines of communication between individuals and workers, cultivating relationships based on trust, involving individuals in decisions regarding their care and support, making individuals aware that they can express concerns or lodge complaints which would be taken seriously; supporting individuals to achieve maximum independence, thereby reducing dependence on others who may exploit them; and finally educating individuals about their rights and helping them understand what kind of treatment they can expect. By adopting a person centred approach and empowering the individuals, the likelihood of abuse occurring can be significantly reduced while promoting their rights and overall well-being.
Person-Centred Care: Prioritising Individual Needs in Health & Social Care
Understanding Person-Centred Care
In the realm of health and social care, Person Centred Care is an approach that works collaboratively with individuals to tailor care and support to their unique needs. This method not only reduces risks associated with neglect, bias, or inappropriate treatment but places the individual firmly at the centre of decision-making processes.
Empowerment and Autonomy
True Person Centred Care empowers individuals to:
- Make their own choices
- Assess situations independently
- Take informed risks
For instance, when faced with the decision to consume food that's been exposed to heat for an extended period, individuals can gauge the potential health implications and decide accordingly. Such empowerment not only enhances their sense of autonomy but also plays a vital role in their own safeguarding.
Active Participation: Promoting Independence
Active Participation ensures that individuals actively partake in day-to-day activities and relationships with as much independence as feasible. By providing necessary tools and resources – like mobility aids or utensils that aid self-feeding – we can champion active involvement in one's own care journey.
A Safe, Respectful Environment
For those receiving care and support, a respectful environment that upholds their dignity and rights is paramount. Key elements include:
- Fostering transparent communication between workers and individuals.
- Building trust-based relationships.
- Involving recipients in their own care decisions.
- Encouraging feedback, concerns, or complaints, with the assurance of being taken seriously.
- Supporting individuals to reduce reliance on potential exploiters.
- Imparting knowledge about their rights and setting clear care expectations.
Benefits of a Person Centred Approach
Embracing a Person Centred Care methodology not only diminishes the chances of abuse but also amplifies individuals' rights, dignity, and overall well-being. By placing their needs and choices at the forefront, we can create a more compassionate, effective, and individualised care system.
