the 6Cs that is my trust’s six fundamental values.
To follow the trust values as a trainee assistant practitioner the six fundamental values I need to keep in mind are Care, Compassion, Communication, Competence, Commitment, and Courage. NHS Commissioning Board (2012), the 6Cs were developed in 2012 as part of compassion in practice. The 6Cs encapsulate the values and behaviours essential to the delivery of high quality compassionate care Beal, J (2014). Care is core business and that of our organisations and the care we deliver helps the individual person and improves the health of the whole community. WUTH (2012) Caring defines us and our work. A person receiving care expects it to be right for them, consistently, throughout every stage of their life Beal, J (2014). Compassion is how care is given through relationships based on empathy, respect and dignity. I believe that nursing is an occupation consisting of professional individuals that exhibit and express compassion, respect, dignity, and integrity to their patients and co-workers. These values informed me to act as a patient advocate, through clear communication, education, and applying critical thinking, and decision making skills to help better the patient’s outcome. As a Trainee Assistant Practitioner, it is important to me to provide the highest quality care possible to achieve excellence in patient results, while simultaneously, providing a respectful healing environment. Nursing is about compassion and trying to understand human beings on all emotional, physical, and scientific levels. It is a profession which uses evidence based practices yet displays a comprehensive understanding of human beings. A high level of competence is required to deliver appropriate care, recognise a deteriorating situation, and challenge poor practice or decision making of others. Good communication involves better listening and shared decision making ‘no decision about me without me’ and making every contact count.
Courage: - many people felt nurses, midwifes, care givers might be afraid to speak up –it takes courage to stand up to poor care and to innovate, suggest and implement new ways of working.
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”As written by the World Health Organisation (cited by E Sarifino2002). As written by Barker, (2003) an individual’s view of themselves is constantly changing, based upon their experiences. To achieve this state of Health as a trainee assistant practitioner I should follow the values of my trust.
An individual’s opinion of who and what they helps them form and develop their own individuality. It is established through the individual’s behaviour and attitude. It relates to how they view themselves and is associated with their own self-image, body image and self-esteem. Murphy (as cited by Gross, 2001) stated the self is part of the individual which is understood and know to by the individual them self. A person’s physical appearance is the first thing that is seen when they are in contact with others. If the individual feels positive and confident within themselves then this will influence the development of a strong and healthy life. This can also influence how they experience life allowing them to develop in a positive, healthy way and enabling them to build up strong relationships with others. Self concept can be based upon one’s own expectations and goals which they hold upon themselves, the relationship and understanding they have relating to their appearance and personality and also the individuals reactions to their surrounding environment.
Giddens, (2006) states that the process of healthy socialisation is a process which promotes the development of knowledge in the individual.
It is a fundamental concept of sociology as it helps the individual perform their role and respect others around them through learning behaviour which conforms to the norms and values of the society in which they live. People are able to mould in to society through positive socialisation. In order for an individual to be involved with healthy socialisation they need to be able to work together with others, agree on certain values and conduct themselves in a correct manner which does not cause offense. This behaviour is learnt from the primary relationships of the family and carries on developing these behaviours through secondary relationships from those closes to the individual these people including friends, peer groups, companions and colleagues. As individuals begin to interact with new people they begin to change their attitudes, behaviour, habits, ideas and values in order to be
accepted.
When I am explaining about the social stigma for the vast majority of disabled people a restriction of the possibility of participation in normal social life and limitations in the pursuit of personal happiness are often grave and depressing for the person with an impairment that causes a disability. There are a number of diseases that are stigmatized- mental disorders, aids, venereal disease, leprosy, and certain skin diseases. People who are stigmatised are usually receiving much less social support than those who have non-stigmatising illness. Mental disorders carry more stigma than any other illness. Stigma reduces the value of the persons who have a mental disorder. Stigmatisation is one of the major obstacles to the improvement of care of people.
