how promoting
What values should care workers promote?
Promoting and supporting an individual's right to dignity, independence, health and safety
People who require health care, particularly long-term health care, may feel like their dignity and independence are slipping away from them.
People who depend on kidney dialysis machines, for example, might feel their lives are ruled by the priority they always give to their treatment. They may very well feel that they aren't 'normal'. In situations like this, the attitude and understanding of health care workers can make a real difference.
Finding ways to accommodate patients' lives within a treatment programme can help people feel free, even if they need a great deal of treatment or direct care.
Acknowledging an individual's personal beliefs and identity
For a nurse with a ward full of patients to look after or a live-in carer that is run off their feet, it can be difficult sometimes to treat the people they care for as individuals.
