I am going to approach this essay by discussing and addressing issues highlighted in the scenario presented and how this links with the questions given. I will also try to provide realistic solutions to these issues highlighted using evidence based theory and how this links in with collaborative person centred care. I will also relate Jane’s issues towards every persons needs in life. Social, psychological and Biological needs. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that Jane’s mental health has suffered all throughout her life. This began when she was a child, being a victim of abuse from her own father and then later in adult life when she developed depression during her first pregnancy. The Bio-psycho-social model Engel (1977:196 129-136) …show more content…
Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs suggests that one’s psychological needs include security. Security needs are important for survival, but they are not as demanding as the physiological needs. Examples of security needs include a desire for steady employment, health care, safe neighbourhoods, and shelter from the environment. Maslow (1943) However Jane is evidently not providing this. Jane does not have a job, therefore does not have a stable income. She rarely leaves her house and this is resulting in the children not attending school, and once they do they are dishevelled. They also have to feel as though they have secure relationships with their mother however this isn’t possible as she does not always provide the care the boys need. Also, Jane’s mental state could also be projecting onto her son Kieran, who is suffering from learning …show more content…
This would involve a ‘best interest.’ Meeting to be held to decipher whether she is capable or not. Decisions would be made on her behalf as to whether she is capable of doing so without help or guidance. (The National Archives 2005) Or the Mental Health act however suggest different. They try to promote patients having as much say in the process as possible. However, if Jane was sectioned, she would be taken away from her fears and this could re-engage Jane in social inclusion if she no longer feels she could be at risk. Jack has appeared to be a huge support for not only Jane but also her sons, developing a reliable and secure relationship with them when she could not. Therefore he would be a key factor in Jane’s recovery. He can begin to create a person centered care plan that is collaborative and he could be involved in personalizing her recovery. However taking in Jane’s personal preferences will give her some control in her care and this will keep her care person centered. (Barker 2015) (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence,
Jane's treatment leads her to insanity. When this story was written, there was neither the medicine nor the treatment methods that we have today. If Jane was in today's
Health and social care professionals encounter a diverse amount of individuals who have different needs and preferences regarding their health. As professionals they must ensure that all services users, whether it is older people with dementia, an infant with physical disabilities or an adult with an eating disorder (National Minimum Data Set for Social Care, [no date]), are treated in a way that will successfully meet such needs. In fact, health and social care professionals have a ‘duty of care’ towards services users, as well as other workers, in which they must legally promote the wellbeing of individuals and protect them against harm, abuse and injury. (The Care Certificate Workbook Standard 3, [no date]) Duty of care is a legal requirement
When we first meet Jane she is a young and orphaned girl with little self-confidence and hope of feelings a sense of belonging and self worth. It is unfair that Jane already feels lonely and desperate in such a cruel world as it is. Jane is open with her thoughts during her narration, “…humbled by the consciousness of my physical inferiority to Eliza, John, and Georgiana Reed” (Bronte 7). Jane already feels as though she cannot participate in everyday activities because she acknowledges that she is a weaker person. By Jane believing she is weak she is succumbing to her own entrapment. The novel opens with Jane feeling inadequate about going on a walk with her cousins and the novel ends with Jane embarking on a journey of her very own, this is not a coincidence.

Person centred practice is used to support individuals by doing things that people see when using health and social care services as equal. Person centred skills that are enforced to support individuals are used for several reasons, for example lives of individual’s that are supported are improving and are developing. This means by letting their family at the centre of their decisions and working alongside them to their best
Gilman wished to help other women who had faced the same predicaments as her by guiding them through her own experiences. On page 85 of The Abridged Diaries of Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a journal entry on January 1st 1885 described her symptoms of depression worsening, where she wrote, “I have been far from well. I do not know that I am better in any way. [...] Ambition sleeps. I make no motion but just live” (qtd. in Loyola University New Orleans n.pag.). From the perspective of society today, this entry evidently shows signs of severe depression where modern treatments would be to encourage her to engage in activities. Nevertheless, during her time period this would be considered as nothing but, “a slight hysterical tendency” (Gilman 2) that was brought by too much mental activity and not enough rest, the opposite of present day regimens. The society in which Jane is being raised in, similar to Gilman’s, presumed that if someone has no visual symptoms of illness, then their case is not considered as serious because it is all in the head and is only a matter of rest. Relieved that her case is nothing to be worried about, the narrator writes, “John is away all day, and even some nights when his cases are serious. I’m glad my case is not serious” (Gilman 3)! Being assured
Putting the person at the heart of care is one of the essential roles in developing person centred care. (Department of health, 2005)
Jane does not experience a typical family life throughout the novel. Her various living arrangements led her through different households, yet none were a representation of the norm of family life in the nineteenth century. Through research of families in the nineteenth century, it is clear that Jane’s life does not follow with the stereotypical family made up of a patriarchal father and nurturing mother, both whose primary focus was in raising their children. Jane’s life was void of this true family experience so common during the nineteenth century. Yet, Jane is surrounded by men, who in giving an accurate portrayal of fathers and masculinity in the nineteenth century, fulfill on one hand the father role that had never been present in her life, and on the other hand the husband portrait that Jane seeks out throughout the novel.
Adolescence and its impact on a character is a common theme throughout literature. Adolescence describes the period after childhood and before adulthood in one’s life. Childhood can impact one’s future course in life, whilst adulthood will receive the lasting effects of adolescence. In Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre it is possible to see Jane’s adolescence as shaped by her childhood and impacting her adulthood. Jane’s difficult childhood leaves her with warped ideas of love and power. Jane’s adolescence is the first time she receives any love and learns how to love. Lastly, Jane’s adulthood decisions are influenced by her ideas on love and power that have been shaped by her childhood and adolescence.
The concept of person refers to the recipient of nursing care, such that no person is the object of care and no aspect of wellbeing is left out (Arnold & Boggs, 2001; Thorne, Canam, Dahinten, Hall, Henderson, & Kirkham, 1998). This not only includes disease and illness states, but also psychological, social and spiritual dimensions. Therefore, factors such as gender, lifestyle, behaviors, beliefs, values, coping skills, habits, perceptions and lived experiences are considered (Arnold & Boggs, 2011). This holistic and multi-centered approach also extends to families, communities, and populations (Schim et al., 2007). The concept of person is central to nursing theory and research, and is fundamental to the, “Code of Ethics for Registered Nurses,” as outlined by the Canadian Nurses Association (2008). In practice, ‘person’ is used to guide client teaching and nursing interventions (Kozier, Berman, Snyder, Buck, Yiu, & Stamler, 2014).
...will involve social worker, carers, nurses, doctors and other health care professionals will create an environment which will support the choice and control that built around Beryl’s needs through the delivery of services. For instance, the role of the social worker will involve in assessing the needs for Beryl and also co-ordinating and advising on the services that is available for her and what she may prefer (Keady. J, 2011).
Within this essay, I will reflect and critically analyse an OSCE which has increased my awareness, or challenged my understanding, in assessing the holistic needs of a service user (John), referred by his GP, whilst incorporating a care plan using the Care Programme Approach (CPA). By utilising this programme and other sources of current literature, I hope to demonstrate my knowledge and understanding in relation to this skill as well as identifying areas with scope for learning.
In health care, there are many different approaches throughout the field of nursing. When considering the field of family nursing, there are four different approaches to caring for patients. This paper will discuss the different approaches along with a scenario that covers that approach. The approaches that will be discussed include family as a context, family as a client, family as a system, and family as a component to society. Each of these scenarios are approach differently within the field of nursing.
The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of Jean Watson’s Theory of Caring. This theory can be taken into account as one of the most philosophically complicated of existing nursing theories. The Theory of Human Caring, which has also been referred to as the Theory of Transpersonal Caring, is a middle – range explanatory theory. (Fawcett, 2000) The central point of which is on the human component of caring and actual encounter between the client and the caregiver.
referred to as the recipient of care, this statement lacks true meaning; reducing person to a single machine-like object. They are first and foremost human beings whose care involves the whole individual. They exist within a matrix of family, caregivers, significant others, and communities. In my practice, human-centered care is central to the articulation of my personal nursing philosophy. It is one that treats the patient as an integrated individual of body, soul, and spirit, instead of simply treating their illness or health concerns in isolation. It requires me to stand in their shoes in order to convey an understanding of their situation. As such, they should not be reduced to simply generalizations, but should be cared for in their
