Caring, central to nursing practice as it promotes patient health outcome spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Society sees nursing as a caring profession and it is also a reason why many of us chose this career path. Caring is one of the main reason why I decided to pursue nursing as my profession. Earlier this year in my intro to nursing class, I presented on the Watson’s Caring theory for our class project. It was also where I discovered that Kaiser Permanente whom shares the same belief model. Kaiser integrated the model of Caring Science, also known as the Watson’s theory into their nursing practice. Kaiser’s belief model is the ideal work environment that shares my core values about nursing. It is important to recognize future employer’s values because it is the framework that guides their practice in the clinical setting. Leading to the concept…
This essay will examine how social care values and principles influence practice. My own value base was influenced by my parents and extended family initially. As I was growing up teachers and peers also influenced my values. Amongst some of the values I live my life by are having self-respect and being respectful of others; being trustworthy, honest and truthful; being non-judgemental. I was always encouraged to work hard and do well at school which would help me to achieve my goals. I have a supportive family, who have always encouraged me to express my own thoughts & opinions. These values mean that I always try to treat the service users I work with in a non-judgemental way, with respect & using confidentiality. I always try to be caring & empathetic to their situation.…

As a care worker, we owe a duty of care to the people we support, colleagues, employer and ourselves and the public interest. Every one have a duty of care that we cannot opt out of. Peoples we care support should be treated with respect, involved in decision making about their care and treatment and able influence how the service is run. People should receive safe and appropriate care that meets their needs and support their rights. A negligent act could be unintentional but careless or intentional that results in abuse or injury. A negligent act is breaching the duty of care.…

The African American community has a cultural ethic of care that centers around their children and older adults, that at times is stressful as they struggle to nurture their youth and revere their older loved ones (Wimberly, 1997) while attempting to care for your own. Studies have shown that African Americans prefer to rely on family and fictive kin (nonrelatives), and avoid using formal eldercare service providers due to distrust of their services (Apesoa-Varano et al., 2015), and their perceptions of racism (Lampley-Dallas, Mold, & Flori, 2005). Reinhard, Levine, and Samis (2012) found that African American, Asian American and Hispanic communities experience a higher number of older loved ones with enduring illnesses, shorter hospital stays, and limited health care services, which lead to more complications and prevalence of care provided by informal elder caregivers. In addition, research shows there is a history of health and socioeconomic disparities in African American, Hispanic and Native American communities, (Braun & LaCounte, 2014; Wallace, 2015) with only Asian Americans being the exception within the non-white racial…
Culture provides people with a sense of purpose and belonging. It helps people create an identity and forms their morals and values. Social workers need to include culture in their practices when working with First Nations clientele, as it is a large part in which they are and can help the healing process. Elders are an important aspect of First Nations culture. Elders can work with social workers to ensure guidance, spiritual and cultural advice, and teach philosophies and traditions of the people. Social workers must allow children to participate in their cultural traditions. Social workers should allow their clients to regularly attend ceremony and give them the resources they need to connect with their culture. Another important aspect…

Korean-Americans are the fastest growing subgroup of Asian Americans. In a 10 mile radius of the hospital I work in the Korean population varies from about 10 to more than 50 of the population comprising some of the surrounding towns (Holy Name Medical Center Korean Medical Program, 2013). Therefore, it is very important for healthcare providers to be able to communicate with this culture. In response to the needs of the patients, our hospital has created the Korean Medical Program. The program provides Korean speaking doctors and support staff that can assist in coordinating all their healthcare needs. They provide Korean translators, menus, television channels for inpatients and a shuttle service with Korean speaking drivers from surrounding town for outpatients. Through this program and research for this paper I have gained a significant insight into the Korean culture. Physiologically, Koreans have very distinctive physical characteristics. A few of these characteristics include small slanted eyes, a yellow skin tone, and a flat face (Barkauskas et al., 2002). These characteristics differ greatly from the physical characteristics of Americans and can make it difficult for American practitioners to determine abnormalities in the Korean people. The health care provider must be very careful in checking for many diseases in all people but it is vitally important in diseases that must be determined by skin coloring. Dealing with light skinned people is very different than dealing with darker skinned people. When people are ill, their skin loses its richness and becomes dull. Since the health care provider does not know what a persons normal complexion is, they must rely on several factors. In the Korean population, factors to check would be their palms, tongue, and beds of the fingernail. In some cases one may need to ask them to remove nail polish (Henley, 1999). One disease that is difficult to diagnose in Koreans is jaundice because it causes the skin to…
Who would ever imagine that just a regular house nearby the city Kuldīga could contain such a surprise? I wouldn’t. So you can picture my astonishment when I first entered my classmates house and literally found myself in a zoo. The house was full with all kind of animals - I noticed two dogs, a lazy cat, a slowly moving turtle, a cage with several noisy birds in there, a cage with cutest little hamsters and other with rabbit inside. And I haven’t mentioned all pets. Oh, there are many families with lots of animals, you might say. I agree. But the most interesting thing about this particular family is that they not only take care of their own pets, but they also give home to the homeless ones, who have experienced the cruelty of life and human nature, by finding themselves alone on the streets without food and caring hands.…
