The main aim of rehabilitation or medical care is to narrow the gap between a patient’s expectation, hopes, goals and achievement and what actually happens [27]. Also, the trend of the medical care is to demonstrate treatment efficacy by means of quantifiable outcome measures. Thus, the variety of interventions provided to people with cancer and survivors of cancer should be accompanied with appropriate measures. Some health care models were used to fill the gap such as “Patient Centered Care”. Providing patient-centered care requires comprehensive inter-professional and multidisciplinary treatment planning.…
Person-centred care is a way of thinking and doing things that sees the people using health and social services as equal partners in planning, developing and monitoring care to make sure it meets their needs. This means putting people and their families at the centre of decisions and seeing them as experts, working alongside professionals to get the best outcome. Reference; https://healthinnovationnetwork.com/system/ckeditor_assets/attachment/41/what_is_person-centred_care_and_why_is_it_important.pdf. The core values that underpin person centred care in health and social care are as follows; • Promoting effective communication and relationships • Maintaining confidentiality of information • Promoting and supporting individual’s rights to dignity, independence, empowerment, choice, and safety. • Rights and responsibilities • Respect.…
Care conferences are held for every person receiving health care at home or in a care facility. They help the “care team” ~ everyone involved in the person’s care ~ share information and work together to meet the person’s needs (1). In this case study, I am the LPN who is responsible to organize a care conference for three of the residents in the residential home that I work with. To organize this care conference, it is imperative that I will fully know the goals for each of the resident.…
Care-Corps Currently, over half a million people are homeless in the U.S. right now. What most of us don't understand, is the grind that homeless people go through everyday for their daily needs.

Care-Corps provides: housing, life skills program, food, hygiene products, medicine, prevention program, counseling, and provides a plan for a client to get healthy, happy lifestyle.…
High patient to nurse ratios takes away with the nurse communicating with the patient and family effectively and developing trust. Relieving patient fear and anxiety can be a challenge when the nurse has less time to spend with the patient because of increased patient load. This does not allow the nurse to develop trust with the patient and family and discuss details about the patient and their treatment. There are ways to improve this type of care, but it will take dedication and a hospital wide effort.…
My own values include Respect, Trust & Equality. Firstly I was brought up to respect my elders & this is something I have always followed, I was brought up to never talk back to my elders, this I believe comes from Primary Socialization (the way in which our family teach us to act, mannerisms & behaviour towards others). I also believe that you should treat people the way you would like to be treated, if you respect yourself then you can shows others respect in return. This is an essential value that should be used in the care setting as service users have a right to be treated with respect this ties in with The National Care Standard which states that everyone should be treated with dignity & respect at all times & have their privacy & property…

Nursing care has changed dramatically within the past two decades with many strides and improvements within nursing practice. An integral development within nursing care was the change of care delivery placing the patient at the centre of their own care, promoting both individualised care and self-empowerment. Although originally coined patient centred care, even this has evolved into what we now refer to as person centred care. Person-centred care has been defined in numerous variations within both seminal and contemporary literature. Gerteis et al.…
This essay will use the Gibbs Reflective Cycle (Gibbs, 1998) and will look at a specific event that happened during my placement and the role of NHS Education for Scotland (NES, 2012) 10 Essential Shared Capabilities (ESC 's) and how Module 3, Involving People relates to the event which occurred.

It should be used as a tool by nurses to help improve their own care. During placement with the health visitors, I met with a situation which is covered by the 10 ESC 's Involving People module, which centres around involving people with their care (NES, 2012).…
