Patient Care

Introduction
Person-centered care is the individual care of patients who are unconscious or have a
disability, which leads to a high level of dependence on others (Long, 2019). Individualized care
is also prescribed to people who cannot function properly due to paralysis or dysfunction due to a
stroke or accident. Therefore, health professionals trained in their medical professionals to ensure
the care and attention patients need in this area (Miranda et al., 2019). However, there are certain
barriers and concerns in effectively delivering personalized care to patients with a wide range of
needs.
In this paper, I will talk about my experience as a student nurse with nurses regarding the
professional issues they come across. I will discuss the constraints and difficulties that healthcare
provides face in executing health their plans following systems for defeating these hindrances
(Pinto-Bruno et al., 2019). It additionally talks about the advantages of making an effective

Theoretical framework
The psychosocial needs of patients suffering from long-term illnesses such as dementia,
Alzheimer's disease, or recovery from a stroke or accident are seen as more important as patients
with such illnesses generally become more vulnerable. Patient-centered treatment processes are
generally intended to help patients become well-aware about their condition and take care of
There are many obstacles in the implementation in the process of effective treatment.
Several barriers have been analyzed to provide effective person-centered treatment to patients
with long-term conditions such as dementia, Alzheimer's, stroke, etc. As a student in the ward, I
model encompasses dealing with the disease and the patient's emotions and needs, effective
communication is vital to building an emotional attachment with the patient (Han and Kunik,
2019). Inefficient communication is, therefore, an obstacle to the effective treatment of the
patient. Because people with dementia need the right medication at the right time, it affects the
service users. Effective communication between service providers is important to help patients
I also feel that nurses lack personal resources. Many nurses I spent time with have poor
finances and cannot afford decent housing when in case they get fired from the NHS. Therefore,
adequate housing facilities must be provided to nurses so that they can be targeted at people.
Fundraisers for payment service users are often a major problem as participation can be
cumbersome (Hung et al., 2019). People with dementia are considered terminally ill and need

good home-care facilities to get personalized care by daily visits from nurses. The lack of
resources and funds for adequate housing will make effective treatment difficult (New
Another issue is the bad management practices and the unethical approaches associated
with it. People with long-term illnesses like dementia generally become more defenseless and
touchy than individuals with different diseases. They feel pointless and infrequently stick to it.
Henceforth, dishonest practices and awful conduct can exacerbate the condition. In this way, it is
proper to manage sympathy and nobility, so they feel regarded and esteemed.
Many nurses lack the capacity to resolve conflicts. Most nurses and other health workers
need effective training in dealing with conflicts that may arise due to the patient's family's
preferences and the way the nursing worker works (Lawrence and Reedy, 2019). To manage the
conflict of people living with dementia and treat them and their families well, it is important to
handle conflicts that arise in patients' care. Since the patient's family is emotionally connected to
the patient, it is consciously important for nursing professionals to put themselves in their shoes
and clarify what the treatment process is and what cannot be in the patient's primary interest, so it
If the nurses are not delegated the appropriate roles and responsibilities to the patient, the
desired results would not be achieved. Since personal care includes caregivers and service users,
and service providers and effective role delegation is crucial for improving health conditions.
Knowing the importance of teamwork, it is important to share roles and responsibilities between
providers to provide effective treatments and medications to patients with dementia (Carmody et
al., 2015).

There are many benefits using the nursing professionals plan the treatment process and
develop new and innovative ways to involve patients in the entire process effectively, patients
feel more engaged and valuable when they receive dignity and respect (Saxton et al., 1998).
While they encourage decisions to make their own decisions in their daily work, they understand
their importance and can be more actively involved in the treatment process. The patient's
condition can be significantly improved if the patient's emotional, physical, and medical needs
are met. The goals are required to improve the patient's condition, and effective communication
has many benefits in improving patients' overall health with long-term illnesses such as
dementia, Alzheimer's, stroke, or life-threatening accidents. There are more positive outcomes
related to personal management practices, including improved quality of life, safety, and
personal hygiene, decreased restlessness, improved self-esteem, and improved sleep patterns
Recovery, rehabilitation, and reablement (RRR) review are one of the devices in use. It

personal care, the nurser has to practice their skills to contribute to quality care and safeguard
patient safety. The standards have been set in the common law where 'duty of care' is a concept
devised by the court as proper legislation. The health care staff across the U.K. confronts many
In the ward, many nurses and related staff formed groups and handled the problems
jointly. To overcome the barriers to delegation and responsibility of roles, it is important to work
with members of the nursing and health work team and family members who have dementia to
achieve the desired results. Therefore, partnerships with families, caregivers, and health
professionals to create effective treatment plans and dementia people's strategies are beneficial.
As health care providers understand the condition better and families understand the patient's
emotional needs, nursing professionals, and health care workers must work to develop an
effective treatment plan for improvement and develop a medical plan about the patient's
condition.
Education and training of health and nursing professionals is key. To overcome barriers
to conflict management and provide human-centered care with effective skills and abilities to
treat service users, nursing professionals must receive training in dealing with vulnerable
patients. When a worker is professionally competent but lacks practical training, persistence,
empathy, and patience, it is impossible to understand the patient's needs and needs as they vary
from patient to patient (McNally, 2018). Additionally, nursing professionals need to plan the

course of treatment and consider new and innovative ways to involve patients throughout the
process effectively.
Working with the family of the patient is also a very important aspect that nurses and
health care professional must deal. Family involvement is critical to achieving desired patient
health outcomes and overcoming barriers to conflict management. Because individual care has a
significant impact on the patient's family and caregiver, it is important to emphasize the role of
partnership with family members in the provision of care processes. Also, the importance of
teamwork among service users, caregivers, and healthcare providers is critical to achieving the
desired results.
Setting goals are also essential. Goals are important in determining your goals for
improving your patient's condition. The goal must be specific. This is about improving the
patient's overall health and making them feel respected and safe. The goal should also focus on
patient participation in independent activities and decisions (Carmody et al., 2015). The goal
should be measurable. In other words, these goals should be achievable and not viewed as
inconceivable. People with dementia cannot be completely cured. However, its symptoms can be

As a student nurse working with practitioners, I can remember the experience of working
with people with dementia. The patient was 74 years old and had other problems, such as
diabetes and high blood pressure. I was tasked with working with him not to forget to take his
medication on time and have regular checkups at a community health facility for two months.
This case is important because of the problems and challenges I have faced during my
experience working with patients. One of the difficult situations occurred when a patient who has

Atlas Variation
The NHS Atlas range is central to examining the available daily data on investments,
activities. It results not only about those in contact with a particular service but also about the
entire population in need of help. Only with this demographic perspective can you initiate a
search for unfair variances and assess health care value for both the population and the
individual. In many locations across the U.K., the NHS Health Care Variation Atlas series has
been used as an incentive for inappropriate variation and a stepping stone to uncovering
resources for reinvestment in quality health care for local patient populations (Rightcare, 2010;
Care, 2011).
The data and information contained in each atlas do not always explain the reason for the
variability. Still, the Atlas range's strength and strength lie in the questions it raises about equity,
effectiveness, and value. The turnover data displayed on the atlas can be triangulated with data
from other sources such as information from NHS Right Care, official commission package for
value, as well as from the national news network from PHE, health profiles, spending and

Conclusion
I can conclude that from my experience with the above patients, I have had a learning
experience that will help me in my career as a nursing and related health workers. I have learned
from experience that time management and effective communication are the keys to the effective
person-centered treatment of people with dementia or other incurable diseases prone to chronic
diseases and difficult to manage with medication. Through effective communication and
effective time management, patients can thus be treated in a timely and personal manner (Moore
et al., 2017). In addition, the health effects of patients and their families improved significantly,
and began to participate in daily household chores such as active gardening such as reading
disease-related books.
Recommendation
Based on the above experiences with people living with dementia, I have developed an
action plan that further supports my career with other nursing professionals (Watson, 2019).
Implementing a people-centered mind and the planning and reviewing process is not an easy task
as they are real people who have real emotions and feelings and sometimes struggle with deep
learning. Hence, effective time management, persistence, patience, and empathy are required to
achieve the desired results. Suppose the nurse is technically competent but lacks time
management skills, persistence, empathy, and patience. In that case, they may not understand
patients' needs and demands as they are person-to-person specific. In addition, effectively

for all staff to ensure that all staff understands the importance of human factors and expertise and
how this can affect patient outcomes. All employees must also understand the impact of systems
and human behavior on their work and how this affects patient safety.
In the above study, we concluded that person-centered care requires effective training and
teamwork from families, caregivers, and health professionals to provide person-centered care to
patients with long-term illness. However, there are certain barriers and concerns in effectively
delivering personalized care to patients with a wide range of needs. Therefore, nursing

professionals need to plan the course of treatment and consider new and innovative ways to
effectively involve the patient in the entire process. Moreover, it is vital to effectively
communicate and interact with the service users to resolve the issues and barriers encountered in
the care process and make the patients realize the importance of their recovery and well-being.
