Course details
All behaviours, no matter how bizarre or self-defeating they may appear to be, serve a function for the person. Often they communicate a message that the person cannot otherwise communicate. It is the right of the person with behaviour problems to have access to the appropriate behaviour supports.
Person-centred behaviour support begins with an understanding of the message underlying the person behaviour. Once the message of the behaviour is understood, the person may learn an alternative and more effective way of communicating that message.
Staff who work with patients who exhibit problem behaviours can find it quite challenging and may feel limited in dealing with the problem. Therefore, multi-element/multi-professional solutions to behaviour problems should generate many options and offers choices of approach. In this way, behaviour support planning is a creative social problem solving process (McClean, 1998).
This aim of this course is to provide healthcare professionals with the opportunity to enhance their knowledge of holistic care and relevant issues when caring for an older person with a challenging behaviour.
Main topics which will be discussed include:
- Definitions of Challenging behaviour
- Types of behaviour that challenge
- Understanding dementia & Delirium
- Planning for the future
- Communication Strategies
- Pharmacological Intervention
- Recording & Documentation in Challenging Behaviours
On successful completion of the course, participants will:
- Gain knowledge of how to promote, maintain and provide individualised holistic care to the older person with a challenging behaviour
- Gain an insight into caring for an older person with a specific type of challenging behaviour
