SHNXGB3023 Report

ABSTRACT
Effective caring is a process under which an individual care pattern has been created
by the Health and Social care settings for each care or service user based on their wishes or
needs, regardless of their health requirement. The aim of the present report is to understand
the importance of quality of life, factors influencing the individual quality of life, key caring
techniques, and potential constraints to positive caring. It means the report has been done to
assess the factors that need to be considered for developing effective caring at person-
centered care. The present report has summarised that in order to build effective caring in a
care setting and provide quality care to patients, the care workers have to incorporate quality
of life, key caring techniques, and positive caring in their profession. These three factors have
to be worked together in the HSC field in order to improve the overall quality of the care
service to the carer.
Further, the report has also summarised that the high quality of life is based on
individual viewpoints and perceptions. Hence, understanding the factors that influence the
high quality of life of individuals for the care workers is important. Moreover, the report has
summarised the different effective caring techniques as per the CARE model or mind map
developed by the Gocongr group (Freeman, A.) in the year 2019. Lastly, constraints to
positive caring has been also covered in this report so that the care workers are able to
understand it and avoid it in their practical life.
