Notas do Editor
- First of all i would like to welcome and congratulate you all on your new position of care worker assistant. I am extremely impressed with your qualifications to physically manage the residents at WeCare. However, i am concerned about the lack of mental health qualifications. We do have residents with mental health issues and do have qualified mental health nurses however there may come a time where a resident will need your help and you will need to have an understanding of what to do, and what it would mean to them. So, through this presentation i will be hoping you will all gain a basic understanding of mental illness and mental health for if you encounter an issue.
- To get everyones brain thinking about this topic i would like to go around just one at a time and all you need to do is say the first word that comes to your head when you think of mental illness.
- Being mentally healthy doesn’t just mean that you don’t have a mental health problem. It also means a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community. Being mentally healthy is important and that is why I want you to take a basic understanding away with you, as something to build on. We want our patients and also fellow members of staff to feel comfortable and happy. Unfortunately there is a stigma attached to mental health problems. Meaning people are uncomfortable to talk about their feelings. This stigma is something we do not want at WeCare.
- Depression is the most common mental health problem of later life, affecting 10-20 per cent of older people (National Institute for Mental Health in England 2005) and up to 40 per cent of care home residents. Older people in residential and nursing homes are two to three times more likely to experience depression than older people in the community. Older people tend not to complain of being depressed, they are more likely to refer to physical symptoms, and some symptoms of physical illness are similar to those of depression. Physical illness is also a common trigger for depression in older people.
- There are common signs you will be able to see. *List*. We don’t want them feeling like this. I will come back to this at the end in the hope that you remember what these signs are.
- You’re having a normal day at work, it’s just after lunch time and you walk past a bedroom and hear sobbing. You politely knock and ask if you can come in. Once in you see the patient ‘M’ is extremely emotional and could potentially turn violent. What do you do? Discuss in groups for 2 minutes.
- Okay the 2 minutes are up, if we go round group by group to suggest what ideas you had and then we can check them against what we suggest at WeCare. *go around group by group* The majority of what you have suggested if what we suggest too which is a good sign. First of all we want you to keep calm at all times. If they appear somewhat hostile and dont want to talk about the situation then we suggest talk about a different topic, they just had lunch so ask them what they had, did they like it etc. If they do open up to you then be sensitive and do not be judgemental. People suffering from mental health do not want to be judge as it can make them feel even worse. Most importantly Listen to them. Once you feel the situation is calm and it suitable for you to leave them briefly we suggest you go and find a mental health care nurse would can then carry on the situtation.
- I would now like to play this video to get you all thinking and realising what people with mental illnesses feel and want from others.
- From that video it is clear that they do not want to be judged. We do not want to judge anyone at WeCare and we want our residents to be happy.
- If you are interested in what has been discussed then this course is a good way to go. This will allow you to gain a competence based qualification, leading to increased career opportunities. It will develop you in your role within any of the fields of social care. But you can also use this qualification to gain a role as a senior care worker, supervisor, team leader or a service manager.
- *Go through list on board* - I would also now like to ask if you can remember the signs of mental health issues.
- If you wish to contact me about any questions or just for a talk here are my contact details.
- Here are just a few quotes from celebrities and nurses in regards to mental health. Thank you for listening
