Role and principles of reablement | SCIE Published February 2020 This briefing is an overview of the role and principles of reablement in the social care sector. It is designed for those working in reablement or commissioning it, but may also be useful to carers and people receiving reablement. As well as describing what the roles and principles of reablement are and the different models used to deliver it, the briefing illustrates the shift from traditional home care towards personalised, outcome-focused care and describes the principles of effective reablement. Reablement is a strengths-based, person-centred approach that promotes and maximises independence and wellbeing. It aims to ensure positive change using user-defined goals and is designed to enable people to gain, or regain, their confidence, ability, and necessary skills to live as independently as possible, especially after an illness, deterioration in health or injury.

Men Not Great at Estimating Female Desire -- Science of Us The science of sexual desire is complicated — as it should be, because sexual desire itself is complicated. Sex researchers, for example, have in recent years begun to reconsider the way arousal is conceptualized: Instead of spontaneous desire, in which the urge to have sex strikes seemingly out of nowhere, many people experience responsive desire, where arousal happens in response to some sort of pleasurable scenario. If sex scientists have only recently upended this conventional wisdom regarding the way desire works, maybe it’s not so surprising that some of us nonscientists are still rather confused. Men, in particular, as psychologist Amy Muise reports in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, happen to be particularly bad at guessing whether or not women are turned on. When men and women meet for the first time, for example, previous research has shown that men tend to overperceive women’s sexual interest. There are a few things that could be going on here.

This Is What It Really Means To Have Healthy Boundaries Understanding the meaning of healthy boundaries (and learning to maintain them in your life) is simple. But not so easy. For one, setting healthy boundaries involves thinking more about your needs and less about what invitations and responsibilities you'll accept. Once upon a time, I thought having healthy boundaries with others exclusively meant saying "no." Let's be clear: direct, honest assertions of your needs — even in the form of refusals like these — are a good start. For those of us whose default is taking on everyone else's "stuff" (and/or who have otherwise unhealthy behaviors around boundaries), the quest to get healthier and happier often involves the mercy of others. Let's say eating ice cream used to feel like a luscious way to end the day, but lately seems like a sad compulsion. Having strong boundaries means exercising control over what ideas and opinions we take in, and which we disregard. Photo Credit: Stocksy SHARE SHARES 2.3k
Reablement services for people at risk of needing social care: the MoRe mixed-methods evaluation - NCBI Bookshelf Love styles Love styles are modi operandi of how people love, originally developed by John Lee (1973,[1] 1988[2]). He identified six basic love styles—also known as "colours" of love—that people use in their interpersonal relationships: Clyde Hendrick and Susan Hendrick of Texas Tech University expanded on this theory in the mid-1980s with their extensive research on what they called "love styles". They have found that men tend to be more ludic, whereas women tend to be storgic and pragmatic. Styles[edit] Eros[edit] Akin to limerence, eros is literally the love of Beauty. Erotic lovers view marriage as an extended honeymoon, and sex as the ultimate aesthetic experience. The advantage of erotic love is the sentimentality of it. In a genetic study of 350 lovers, the Eros style was found to be present more often in those bearing the TaqI A1 allele of the DRD2 3' UTR sequence and the overlapping ANKK1 exon 8. Ludus[edit] Ludic lovers are players. Storgic[edit] Pragma[edit] Manic[edit] Agape[edit]

How to Have Less Awkward Conversations: Assuming Rapport Image by kalandrakas. Assuming rapport. This is definitely one of the best social skill tips I have ever learned about. Unfortunately I’ve forgotten a bit about it lately. Maybe you have too. Or missed it altogether. Now, what is assuming rapport? Basically, instead of going into a conversation or meeting nervously and thinking “how will this go?” How do you do that? I have found that this advice is surprisingly useful and easy to implement. Just before the meeting, you just think that you’ll be meeting a good friend. This also helps you and the other people to set a good frame for the interaction. If it’s a very stiff frame then it may very well continue to be so until the end. First impressions last So setting a good frame at the very beginning can bring more enjoyment and better results out of any kind of meeting. Now, meeting your best friend might not always be the best thing to think about before a meeting.

Mastering the Art of Small Talk Mastering the Art of Small TalkFrom: Talking With Confidence for the Painfully Shy, by Don Gabor "Talk to anyone about himself and he will listen without interrupting." --Herber Prochnow You will learn to: • Create rapport through small talk.• Spontaneously start conversations.• Maintain stimulating conversations.• Change topics gracefully.• End conversations tactfully.• Converse with confidence. Franklin Roosevelt, the thirty-second President of the United States believed that most people were poor listeners, especially when it came to making small talk. Small Talk Creates a Friendly Atmosphere Small talk is light and casual conversation that avoids obscure subjects, arguments, or emotionally charged issues. Discussing general-interest subjects such as movies, music, theater, sports, books, food, travel, and such demonstrates to others that you are approachable and friendly.

Error - Cookies Turned Off Challenges experienced with study set‐up and recruitment – predominantly due to the lack of research support structures within English social care services and slower than anticipated service throughput – meant the study was closed prior to achieving its desired sample size. Consequently, it was not possible to fulfil one of the main objectives – to evaluate and compare different models of delivering reablement. However, a descriptive analysis of outcomes and resource use was possible. The study offers a number of further contributions. It used outcome measures and a follow‐up time point not previously (or infrequently) used. 4.1 Findings on reablement outcomes and implications for future research To our knowledge, this study evaluated the widest range of outcome domains including quality of life, functioning and mental health. In terms of observed changes in outcomes at discharge (T0 to T1) and at 6 months follow‐up (T2), a number of points are highlighted.
