Block 1
Carers
supports and helps a family or friend due to age, sickness or disability
Ann & Angus
Ann became carer when her mother died
Felt expected to care for Angus (a woman's job)
Promised her mother on her death bed to care for Angus
No choice
Loves Angus
had to care for Angus
most people being cared for are older
majority of carers are woman
cares for her step father who has parkinsons
Ann doesnt see herself as a carer
saw herself as a wife,mother & dutiful daughter
If she recognises herself as a carer she faces Angus isnt getting better
the word carer is a label as is being cared for
if she did she may get more help/support
unaware of help available to her
informal support
support from family/friends
formal support
support from outside agencies
some things she does for Angus are done for the whole family ie: cooking tea
personal tasks - wahsing/toileting
Physcial tasks - in & out of bed, up & down stairs
Gives medicine/keeps company
Consequences of care
for both the carer& families
Hardwork
some sort of crises often prompt people to ask for help
stress
demadning
time consuming
guilt
lack of income
1/3 carers live in poverty
have to adapt home/extra heating cost etc
less family / personal time
feeling alone
lack of choice
had to give up work
care relationships
easier to care for if relationship is good
families can help build confidence being cared for by attitude and expectations
reciprocity - you scratch my back ill scratch yours as such
people being cared for
loss of independence
feeling relient
isolated
relatives may not live close
may not have many friends/cant go out
lack of choice with tasks at home
lack of choice with whom cares for them
lack of support
feel a burden
scared
fear
vulnerable to abuse
social care
assessments if people need a care package
care package: set of services to meet care users needs
can be waiting a while for an assessment
care plan - record of care people can expect & have to sign to agree to it
Marslows hierarchy of needs - until basic needs are met such as food, drink then higher needs will be less of concern
help of support & aids/adaptations
not every one is eligable
lack of funding, councils decide who gets authortive help - usually critical risk care users
postcode lottery - what you get varies as to where you live
health care free/social care is not
home care
enables care users to stay at home
work to a care plan which determines what they do for each client
clear work boundaires eg: being friendly not a friend
principles of care
support people
having a voice and being heard
respect peoples beliefs & preferences
support people rights to appropriate services
respect privacy & confidentality
cost of care higher without carers
cost government more without carers
6million people provide unpaid care support in the uk
Carers allowence
provide atleast 35hrs care a week
hard to measure time caring & it varies day to day
16 and over and not a student
caring for someone who is disabled and recieving DLA / over someone over 65
does not earn more than £95pw
only get £60pw (2013)
does no increase with the more work or hours you do
The sick role
3 key features
sick person not repsonsible for being ill but expected to want to get better
temporarily exempt from normal duties but expected to stop other things you normally do
expectation to seek help from a health care professional & follow it
being ill but cant show it eg :back pain
others may not believe back pain for eg is a condition
illness is to do with bodies minds & social surroundings
biological, psycological & social aspect
Anwar Malik
Did not see himself as ill
scared to go to a doctor
perhaps felt a burden on the NHS as he is an immigrant
english is not his first language
different culture eg: didnt like to talk openly about private things with a woman
Hansa (wife) was concerned about her husband
felt it was just his age
may carry personal consquences so may not accept illness
Primary health service
services directly accessible eg GPs
GP - medical doctor whom works in the community
GP have more help now than they did 50yrs ago eg: receptionists, practise nurses etc
many memebers of PHCT and are managed by a practise manager and have other GP within the surgery
GP surgery has its own culture and can be unsettling for some people
Make your own decission to use primary services
secondary health service
services available by being referred from a primary service eg: renal unit
Hospital
diagnoses/treatment
more specialist doctors
advanced equipment
round the clock nursing
obsevation
Biomedical science
support & diagnose treament
research
more teamwork as oppose to heirarchy
felt scared/awkward
GP surgery is a strange environment
Diabetes
type 2 - body lacks insulin so blood sugar rises to dangerous levels
could cause damage to his eyes and body if his blood sugar isnt checked daily
self monitoring kit & leaflets given to help Anwar
diet sheet given & diet advise
change of lifestyle
change in diet
daily excerise
life changing condition - needs commitment to manage via self care
demanding condition
may cause him to be depressed
barriers Anwar faced
the diet didnt fit in with his culture
his wife couldnt read english so she couldnt use diet sheet provided a she done most the cooking
cultural barriers with excerise ie: men and woman tend not to mix and i wasnt in his culture to excercise
did not fully understand about treatment or care
influenced by beliefs that tablets didnt work
