I aim to give person centred care by:

greeting each of my patients and introducing myself

I ask them what THEY want when a decision is being made, i wont do something if i dont have to

I take as much time as i can to answer questions, reassure them etc

when family members are there I like to include them in the conversations too, especially when im speaking to the pt about their care, the family know them better than us and can often give us better insights.

personal care is just that, personal. i ask for consent, i tell them what im doing before i do it, if we need to stop we stop etc.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that person centred care is central to improving the quality of care provided for the individual. I embed person centred care by:

1. Introducing myself, explaining my role and the purpose of my presence with the individual on that day. This I believe is very important, as in doing so, I highlight that the person in front of me is more than their diagnosis.

2. I always make sure to encourage the individual in my care to express any concerns, worries or doubts they may have regarding the care they are receiving. This is achieved by communicating therapeutically. When the patients express their worries,  I actively listen to these concerns, using open-ended questions to find out more about the factors fuelling these worries as well as responding in a compassionate and empathetic manner. The consequence of this approach is the individual feeling more at ease, listened to and regarded as an equal and valuable partner in their care.

3. Finally, I understand that health is biopsychosocial in nature. This awareness allows me to prioritise the emotional and mental wellbeing of the individuals in my care as well as the physical tenets of health. Finding out the preferences, likes and dislikes, hobbies of patients elevates the emergence of care that not only takes these needs in to account but is also holistic.

# data[].attributes.body
I make sure that I provide holistic care considering psychological, physical and social health needs. I also try and engage in as much conversation as possible with the child or parents to gain insight into the bigger picture and what other interventions/support may need to be implemented, which links to raising concerns where appropriate.

# data[].attributes.body

1. I read the patients documentation and any relevant care plans to learn more about their condition, needs and the way they prefer their care to be delivered. Patients can have a variety of preferences when it comes to care provision - for example a patient may prefer liquid medicine as opposed to swallowing tablets, they may prefer their OD medications at a certain time of day. Children may prefer parents to carry out tasks appropriate as opposed to the nurse.

2. I communicate before undertaking an intervention with a patient (or communicate with their parent when appropriate). I discuss the patients wants and needs when undertaking an intervention to allow minimal discomfort and emotional impact on wellbeing.

3. I communicate with other members of the MDT who may have looked after the patient for a long time to learn how to incorporate their holistic needs during care provision to enhance the quality of care delivery.

- Introductions are essential. Upon admission, I ask the questions in an informal way to create a nurse-patient relationship whilst identifying their needs.
- I make sure to communicate effectively such as actively listening and explaining why I carry out certain tasks such as the 4/8 hourly obs etc.
- Giving the patients a choice with their care such as meeting their own hygiene needs if their able as it promotes independence.

# data[].attributes.body
- I take the time to talk to the child and/or family so that I can learn more about their life and get to know them better. This then builds good relationships.
- I make sure I am always asking permission before I do anything, and ensure I am clearly explaining what I am doing.
- I work to make sure I help the patient and family remain as independent as possible, and that I do not make any assumptions based on stereotypes.

3. I always encourage patients to ask any questions if they are unsure about something. Also, I reassure patients by emphasizing that nurses are there to help, thus they should not suffer in silence and let us know about any pain, worries etc.

# data[].attributes.body
1. talk clearly and to the patient not over them. I think it helps to explain all scary medical terms which helps make the patient feel less isolated in a hospital environment.

# data[].attributes.body
-Always introduce myself to the patients and ensure that the admission process is thorough so that any additional care/nutrition/communication needs for that person are identified so that care can be co-ordinated for them accordingly to meet these specific needs.
-In Childrens nursing always involving the child in care decisions not just addressing the parents. Explaining all treatment and nursing interventions and ensuring to listen to any concerns or issues and respecting their right to make requests about their care and be involved in all treatment decisions.
- Using communication and treating all patient and their families with compassion and empathy to promote the building of a therapeutic relationship that will increase trust between the professional and the patient. Using distraction/stickers/certificates and toys in Childrens nursing to make experience less distressing for both the child and their parents.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I make sure to introduce myself to the child and their family, and explain anything I am doing in simple terms so the child can understand - lots of children are very nervous coming in to hospital so involving them in their care and trying to help them understand can make them feel more in control and less anxious
2. I will try and chat to the child as much as possible and find out what is important to them (e.g. their favourite film/tv show, their favourite lesson at school, if they've got pets at home) to move away from a purely clinical relationship
3. As much as possible, I try to remain approachable and not to seem to busy to talk to, so the child - depending on their age- feels they can talk to me about any concerns or ask my any questions about their care that I can relay on to other members of the MDT

# data[].attributes.body
Communicate - speak clearly and if there are barriers to communication, I will write it down or find other ways to communicate non verbally such as hand gestures or eye movement for example blinking. I think communication is vital to build a relationship with the patient and taking a few minutes out of your shift to have a chat with the patient means the world to them as they can often feel lonely and secluded otherwise.
Choice - with their care, with meals, having a wash or shower are just a few examples. I feel that offering the patient a choice in every aspect helps them to feel involved in their care and what preferences they have, as they might like to do things in a certain way so this will help to keep their care individualised and specific to them.
Show dignity and respect - ensuring dignity and respect I think is very important as not everyone has the same beliefs. Maintaining a patients dignity should be a norm, such as when washing a patient, putting a towel over the patient and alternating washing different body parts at a time helps with this.
