Introduction:
This is report that is on the domains of ensuring quality life by individuals, explanations on the
effective caring techniques to ensure quality life and discussion on the challenges and issues
related to ensuring the quality life for individuals through effective caring. All the secondary data
is based on relevancy and accuracy collected to conduct the report accordingly. In addition, the
report has stated that all ages of people in UK need to have effective caring in any need of them
or emergency. But sometimes they are not getting caring because of having some issues to
caring.

1. Outline the factors required for individuals to have high quality of life.

Quality of life dictates the standards and cultures in which individuals live with full back ups and
security. This also states the views and thinking of a person regarding the values and social
systems where they stay(Dahlke and Phinney, 2008). For ensuring good quality of life,
individuals need some effective supports and benefits those have been explained below:

Physical Supports: Physical factors of quality life states some relevant factors like good
physical condition due to good food habit, exercises, dieting, enough energy and strengths. If a
man holds these attributes surely he will enjoy quality life(Berdes and Eckert, 2007). However,
all the pains and discomforts are needed to be avoided to ensure better life. This also includes
enough sleeping after working for at least of 7 to 8 hours a day. In addition, as part of this factor
a man needs also enough rest and recreations after busy time passing daily to have a good quality
life for him effectively.

Psychological Supports: The psychological factors of ensuring quality of life includes good
appearance, positive views and thoughts, learning and self-confidence etc. If these attributes are
positive to the individual’s perceptions that lead to them to quality life. However, there are also
seen that individuals are holding negative feelings about anything that lead to worse life style.
The positive mind leads a man to better thinking which in turns leads to quality life cycle largely.
That means psychologically a person is needed to be rich by taking all the challenges with
positive mind as this enables them to find the best ways to overcome effectively.

Freedom and Independence: This is another factor that states the process of having enough
freedom of raising voices in the societies against the oppressions and discriminations. This also
includes mobility of a man to live anywhere which he wishes to stay. In addition, individuals
should freedom of daily activities for ensuring good quality life like buying and walking
independently(Bourke‐Taylor et al., 2010). However, individuals have skills and ability to
perform anything as their limitation in that case over works cannot be assigned to them as this
violet their level of independence largely and personal thinking are stopped effectively. There is
experienced of being discriminated by others at the societies that should be avoided to ensure
quality life style of people effectively.

3
Social Connectivity: This means the process of having environment of connecting socially with
others largely based on togetherness and social bonding etc. These help a man to be mentally
rich to anything of the life case. Social relationships, mutual supports, social helps and sexual
activity are the elements of social connectivity for individuals of nation(Kaplan, 2006). That
means if a man has large numbers of friends they can share their feelings whether these are
positive or negative that leads to better supporting from them largely which in turns leads to
quality life style effectively. This is also seen that social sharing of happy moments with others
develops inherent enjoyment among them which ensures good life based on mutual agreements
and togetherness.

Security and Safety: For confirming the quality life, security and safety of financial aspects and
physical aspects are must to every one of the societies. This enables a man to afford anything
needed by him to lead a better life. That means the financial security enables a man to buy all
needed supporting for leading quality lifestyle. The physical safety also enables a man to take all
the challenges positively. For example, if there is good accommodation and transportation
system for individuals movements and living purposes this will enable them to move anywhere
for quality life style there. This also includes the safety at home environment where most of time
they pass to live with other family members for leading the better life style for them.

Personal Views and Religious Thoughts: This states the environment at where people have
cultural independence, good religious views and freedom and personal beliefs including
thoughts. That means if there is good religious view even if a man comes from another religion
that will enhance the possibility of better life because of mutual respects to others. The positive
views about others views and religious views also ensure quality life as this stops all the conflicts
and quarrels effectively(Morgan et al., 2002). This is also observed that the positive personal
views also enables a man to have good life as he feel that he is able to take own decisions and
has skills for supporting to others in their needs effectively. Good personal thinking about the
others thoughts and views also create an environment of leading togetherness of individuals
effectively.

2. Describe the key caring techniques.

Caring is meant by the process of taking care of others in their needs and emergency to ensure
best efforts as a social being of the society(Namasivayam et al., 2005). This is seen that caring is
now institutionalized by forming different hospitals, care organizations and clinics etc. For
ensuring effective caring to others there are six C’s as the followings:

Care: This states the principle of giving the best efforts to do something better for someone in
his need through improved and better ways effectively.

Compassion: This states the principle of taking all the issues of someone positively,
understanding the real scenario and situation effectively to ensure supports
appropriately(Pelentsov et al., 2015).

Competence: This states the principle of having skills and abilities to provide supports by
understanding the needs of a person appropriately.

4
Communication: This states the principle of listening others appropriately to understand their
needs and speak with them in their understandable means appropriately.

Courage: This states the principle of not fearing to start any new job for better performance and
tell about the own concerns about the things taken(Pergert et al., 2007).

Commitment: This states the principle of higher dedications to supports others in their needs
and understanding and doing own roles and responsibilities in need of others effectively.

Along with these six C’s, there are some other key caring techniques as the followings:

Encouraging: This enables a man to inspire others through positive influence at any work so as
to take good initiative for better performance(Petty, 2015). This also enables a person to ensure
better care for others through inspiring others to take care of his neighbours in their any need
effectively. For example, carers can influence other through workshop conduction with new
carers and inspire them to be supportive to others in the societies.

Showing approval: This states the behaviors of carers by taking any health issue of others
positively with full approval. This enables a man to be happy with carers’ behaviors largely and
he feels better than before. This also enables a person to think positively about the issues taken
for other supports by means of solving the matters in more effective ways. The proactive dealing
of everything of a man enables to take approval of all health issues accordingly.

Creating trust: This states the process of building higher trust by carers in dealing with care
users effectively. By means of building good relationship with care takers care providers can
ensure proper care services for others(Reed and Fitzgerald, 2005). That means care takers are
needed highly to maintain their secrecy of diseases and health problems and then they share their
actual problems and that enables carers to take appropriate care supports to avoid the problem
effectively.

Social perception: This states the process of understanding the care needs of others by reading
their intentions and perceptions appropriately. This helps care providers highly to explore what
types of cares are needed from them actually and provide accordingly. This means that by
reading of mental pressure, posture and facial expressions, carers can understand the feelings of
care takers appropriately and that enable the actual needs of them.

Observation: This states the process of observing a man appropriately by knowing all the issues
appropriately. By this technique carers can explore care takers effectively through direct
observation and medical observation(Tronto, 2013). Direct observation helps carers to
understand the type of care needs and medical observation helps carers to take decisions of type
of care given to them effectively.

Distractions: This states the process of distracting from all types of mental pain, anxiety and
discomforts by carers for taking good decisions to provide better carer services to patients. This
enables a carer to feel free from all types of pressure and provide good care services to others

5
without any stress at works(Wiklund Gustin and Wagner, 2013). The care providers are feeling
better to deal every care case and better ways care is given to care takers effectively.

3. Outline the constraints to positive caring.

The constraints are defined as the processes of developing some occurrences in the systems those
are creating challenges to meet goals appropriately. However, caring also faces some limitations
to ensuring effective supports to care takers those are explained below:

Ineffective communication: The ineffective communication is meant by the process of creating

contact model which is not appropriate to ensure quick responses and quick contacts with others.
That means the medium which is used by both care takers and care providers are not appropriate
to develop good understanding one another(Wolfe et al., 2002). If there is low speed of
connection between communications of both parties that will not ensure good care services to the
needed persons effectively.

Ineffective vision: Every care organization has definite and specific vision and mission to use all
the resources for ensuring good care for others. But this is seen that care workers are not skilled
to align the resources with vision appropriately and care goals are obstacle largely. that means
appropriate vision needs to have appropriate resources from financial, physical and human
aspects to develop cares for others and ensure appropriate distribution to the needed persons
only.

Language difference: There are some languages of care workers and care receivers by which
they interact with one another appropriately(Berdes and Eckert, 2007). The difference between
languages of both parties create obstacle to understand the needs of care receivers by care
providers accordingly they will not develop cares for them. This is the great obstacle to
appropriate care services development for stakeholders effectively.

Cultural difference: There are some cultures also among carers and care receivers that prevent
to get proper care services from providers. This is because of having only egoistic problem by
not respecting the others’ religions and cultures equally. This created far reaching conflict
between those parties and appropriate care services are not executed for all.

Lack of skills: Skills describe the attribute needed abilities and capabilities of carers in caring
practices like counselling, Understandability, accountability and reading skills etc. If there is gap
of these skills among carers then appropriate care services development will not be entertained
for care receivers(Bourke‐Taylor et al., 2010). This is because of not high skills of understanding
the needs and feelings of others to understand their emergency and type of care services to
provide appropriately.

Inappropriate training: This means that carers providers are needed to be skilled and hence
they are provided some training by organizing internally and externally. The external training is
highly appropriate to carer providers as this gives them to develop skills by understanding real
scenario of care needs but they are provided largely internal training that is not appropriate
largely than external training methods(Dahlke and Phinney, 2008). This prevents carers to

6
develop effective care services for patients by developing own skills based on different real cases
by not learned appropriately.

Ineffective services: This means that carers also provide irrelevant and ineffective care services
to patients those are not required for them to be recovered from the problems. That means people
are getting worse care services that are not supportive to ensure good health. For example, in
case of diabetic patients, they are needed to be diagnosed by sugar level but given pressure level
diagnosis with this that is ineffective caring to them to be recovered the problem.

Resources gaps: For developing the care services, carers need to have enough level of all types
of essential resources on the types of physical, human and financial resources(Kaplan, 2006). For
example, for treating with corona suspected patients, carers need to have highly secured PPE and
Goggles etc. But in developing nations, all of these arrangements are not feasible accordingly.
This enables to do not appropriate care services to suspected people effectively.

Conclusions and Recommendations:

If there is good religious view even if a man comes from another religion that will enhance the
possibility of better life because of mutual respects to others. The positive views about others
views and religious views also ensure quality life as this stops all the conflicts and quarrels
effectively. Care takers are needed highly to maintain their secrecy of diseases and health
problems and then they share their actual problems and that enables carers to take appropriate
care supports to avoid the problem effectively. If there is gap of these skills among carers then
appropriate care services development will not be entertained for care receivers.

A man needs enough rest and recreations after busy time passing daily to have a good quality life
for him effectively. Psychologically a person is needed to be rich by taking all the challenges
with positive mind as this enables them to find the best ways to overcome effectively. Good
personal thinking about the others thoughts and views is also needed to create an environment of
leading togetherness of individuals effectively for caring services grounds.
