Journal entry: The first client was concerned with the Diabetes disability
that was creating the blurred vision in the patient. The personal goal
which has been made by me for ensuring the improvement in the
George was to manage the blood sugar as this provides the high impact
over the health of the patient. As the George was aged the age of the
George was 60. Therefore, it is highly important for me to provide
special focus over this particular client. Therefore, I adopted the Person-
centred Approach. As this ensures the complete care and support to the
George. I discussed my goals with the George as the family members of
the George does not live with the him. This patient was suffering from
the emotional parameters as well. My discussion with the George has
empowered him as the sense of belongingness has been acquired by
the George. The non-verbal communication strategy that has been used
by me for the George are, effective eye contact, observing the George
and paying attention to the issues of the George. These strategies has
resulted in gaining the trust of the George as already he was living away
from the family. The George has faced the certain issues in his life and
this leads to impact the treatment pattern of diabetes for the George.
The oral communication strategies that has been used by me for the
George is Asking questions from the George, using of descriptive
phrases and voicing interest. These strategies has enabled me in order
to maintained the effective interaction with the George (Schmidt and
et.al., 2018). Furthermore, the George has felt comfortable in
expressing their thoughts with me. The patient was fighting with the
large number of issues in his head due to the deadly thoughts. Often,
the George has shared that, he missed his family but, no-one comes to
meet. Therefore, these strategies has helped in maintaining the
effective relation with the George and the effective communication skill
has been developed.
