Understanding Principles And Values
Understanding principles and values
It is very important that a person’s dignity is kept, so everyone has self-respect of themselves and that everyone has privacy at times when they need it as this makes them feel respected, independent and also in control. For example, even something simple like knocking on the door before entering the room is a sign that someone has privacy. This links to ‘Right to life’ because it is a concept that describes a belief that a human being has an essential right to live and not to be killed by another human being. It is an ethical dilemma about ‘Right to life’ situations which often involve health and social care workers. It is a workers responsibility to ensure that a patient has active support as they need support from those who care for them.
It is also important that a person is allowed to access information about them as this can help them make choices about what decisions they have. It then makes the person feel respected. For example, patients being able to access and read their health records can do this. This links to honesty because honesty is an ethical consideration and it is important that carers take into consideration the patients ethical values and principles. It is very important that honesty is expected and received when receiving health and social care services. Another important expectation is accurate recording and storage confidentiality. This is because lots of health and social care work involves communicating with many people from different backgrounds and situations. So it is important that information being communicated is checked and recorded as it is dangerous if the information is wrong. Storing the information about patients is kept on the computer and by paper. So they have to be filed correctly and be able to be reached when needed.
Another important right is to be treated as an individual. This is because everyone is unique and nobody is the same. Our personalities develop through our life
