It focuses on individual behaviour towards a wide range of social and interventions. Health promotion is how health is shown for example to challenge obesity change 4 life is used so people can have a guidance on how to make their lifestyle healthier. It also shows that health promotion is aimed at individuals whose health is at risk from any diseases from lifestyle factors, which lets individuals take control over their health. By being able to have control over their health it shows individuals what may have happened if nothing was done of it which reduces individuals getting the disease again because they are able to control it. This action of health promotion is encouraging people to take action towards their own health so it is not forcing or done to people it is done by them and with them. It is built on a belief system. There are many approaches to health promotion. Which are; Medical approach, behaviour change approach, educational approach, Empowerment approach and social change. An example would be the medical approach. The medical approach is aimed to identify the people that are at risk of certain diseases. Another approach would be the educational approach.

...Health and Social Care Unit 2 P5 M3 For this piece of coursework I will be describing how anti-discriminatory practice is promoted in health and social care settings. I will also be discussing the difficulties that may arise when implementing anti-discriminatory practice There are many ways in which to promote anti-discriminatory practice that are effective and have minimal chance of failure, the first way is staff training. This can be effective as it gives the workers an insight in how this practice is shown and ways to identify it, it informs them of how to prevent it and stop it from happening again. Training gives them a clear structure to follow to deal with this practice and how to avoid breaking the law. Training also puts the worker in the client’s shoes and shows them the effects of discrimination in hope to deter them from doing it again. Another way health organizations promote anti-discriminatory practice is by making sure they are welcoming for everyone; they do this by commutating to people in their preferred way whether it be Arabic to sign language. If they are unable to provide this service they should find someone who can, i.e. a translator. They should also take in to consideration the different beliefs and values the service users may have, this would be beneficial as it makes the user feel valued and respected, and they are made to feel s if they are at the heart of service. For example a client who is Muslim, letting them practice their religion...

...everyone else and no different but some clients may need more care than other clients. For example, their religion, disability, whether they are deaf or blind. The care setting I am going to be focusing on is a care home. In my care home we should promote anti discriminatory practice by having certain principles. These include the following ethical principles; justice, autonomy, beneficence and non-maleficence. Justice means people must be treated fairly no matter what their background is. Autonomy means you must always respect people’s choices. Beneficence refers to the risks and costs involved and ensures that the health carer always acts in the way that benefits the patient. Non-maleficence means that all side effects caused by treatment should never outweigh the benefits of the treatment that has been given to the client. It is vital in health and social care settings that the individual is put at the heart of the service provision. In order to do this our care home will always provide support to our clients in their beliefs, culture and preferences. We will support them in expressing their needs and preferences, empower them and promote their rights and choices. The individual’s well-being is our priority. An example of providing support for an individual’s beliefs or culture is ensuring that they are not prevented from having their needs met. If a client is of Muslim faith it will be necessary to ensure their dietary requirements are met and that they are not offered...

...Homeostasis Homeostasis is a process of where our body has to be able to control certain things such as body temperature and the water level so that they don’t change, therefore it is when it keeps things the same. It is how the body keeps the conditions inside, and some scientists refer to it as a constant internal environment; two examples of this is: • Keeping the body temperature at 37 degrees, • The amount of water in our body. Our bodies are always making adjustments to be able to carry out normal bodily functions, but fortunately for us the adjustments are done automatically, if this wasn’t the case then we would all be very busy and would regulate our internal environment very frequently. Homeostasis is controlled by the Automatic nervous system and the Endocrine system (hormones). Negative feedback system Homeostasis is quite often referred to as the negative feedback, which means that the system is able to take suitable action to maintain the constant environment. The main responsibility of homeostasis is that it has to maintain constant levels of many body functions e.g. body temperature, heart rate, breathing rate, and also blood sugar levels. Body temperature The term used for monitoring the body temperature is called thermoregulation. An adult’s body temperature is usually close to 37 degrees. There are temperature detectors in the skin and the internal organs monitor it and feedback to the hypothalamus in the brain to take the correct action when the temperature...

...LO3 P5 - explain the physical and psychological changes which may be associated with ageing Through the ageing process, many physical and psychological changes may be encountered. Physical changes can include loss of hearing and menopause and psychological changes can include financial worries and loss of a partner. A physical change which may be associated with ageing can be the loss of hearing. As people grow older, their hearing becomes progressively worse. At around the age of 40, most people begin to experience a small loss of hearing, this then increases throughout the ageing process. By 80, most people will have evident hearing loss. For example, a man who is 70 years old will most likely have significant loss of hearing due to his ageing process, whereas another man who is 40, might only have minor hearing loss which does not largely affect his hearing (NHS, 2016). Another physical change associated with ageing can be the process of menopause. Menopause is when a woman's period stops and usually starts between the ages of 45-55. The physical changes which occur during menopause are as follows: hot flushes, sweats, anxious and low moods and memory and concentration problems are also factors too. As the woman ages, her periods will eventually stop as a result of a drop in oestrogen levels within the body. For example, a woman who is going through menopause may experience a hot flush at inconvenient times during the day as a result of physical changes (NHS, 2016)...
