concepts of diversity
P1 Health and social Care Task 1: The concepts of diversity to Society 30/09/2013
Diversity has it’s advantages and disadvantages. But when it’s in the health and social contexts it’s very beneficial, to both service user and staff. By having a more culturally diverse and different array of service users it challenges the staff and prompts them to expand their knowledge about their patients and also their differences. Staff will have to really lean about their patients, their religion if they follow one, their medical problems and background and much more.
It’s also extremely valuable to have a diverse, multi-cultural and different range of staff.
Staff with different nationalities and backgrounds; by employing such a range of staff you are increasing the service uses morale and comfort. Also it helps staff to empathise with the patients and share a common bond. In consequence to this, patients will feel happier despite the condition they are in and it will also improve recovery and/or their stay in peace haven house.
It’s also good when care homes employ a range of personalities; so patients can bond with somebody who I similar to them, it will also make them feel like they are on the same page as the people looking after them thus making the bond between them stronger.
When staff have patients who can’t speak English or speak little English, it’s good to have staff who can speak their language or can communicate with them more effectively. Also staff should be able to use sign language for deaf or hard of hearing patients need to communicate. It demonstrates that the care home recognise and uphold their difference but does alienate them for it.
By supporting diversity you allowing Patients to be themselves and comfortable within their own skin, you are not separating them from the rest of the group or secluded them for it
In turn it would make the patients feel like they didn’t have to conform to fit in or be looked after and would make their stay
