2. Providing Quality Care
►The first step in providing quality client care is to be aware of yourself.
What kind of personality do you have?
Is your self-concept positive, or do you have self-doubts and lack self-confidence?
What are your beliefs and attitudes?
Knowing the answers to such questions will help you in your role as caregiver.
►The next step is taking care of your own needs.
When you attend to the needs in your own life, you are then free to concentrate on caring for
others. Your example of self-care inspires clients to have confidence that you will provide
quality care. Thus, self-care is a factor in your effectiveness as a caregiver.
Self-awareness is consciously knowing how the
self thinks, feels, believes, and behaves at any specific time.
Being self-aware is a constant process that is focused on the
present. A person's thoughts, feelings, and beliefs are
interrelated and greatly influence behavior. Being self-aware
influences a person in several ways.
For example, experienced nurses—are often anxious about caring for a specific client. By
taking some time to practice self-awareness, the nurse might discover that the anxiety stems
from never having performed the procedure in question. The nurse can then deal directly with
the situation by reviewing the procedure and requesting assistance from an instructor or
supervisor.
All decisions about client care
must be made in response to
the client's needs, not the
nurse's needs.
Self-concept is how a person thinks or feels about
himself. These thoughts and feelings come from the
experiences the person has with others and reflect how
the person thinks others view him.
For example, an individual who is constantly ignored or who receives
messages such as "Don't bother me," "Can't you do anything right?" or "You
don't have any sense" may very well begin to view himself in these terms, with
the likely result being a negative self-concept. On the other hand, a person
who is shown caring and who hears messages such as "Let me help you in a
minute," "Let's try it this way," or "Have you thought about ... ?" will move
toward a positive self-concept.
Self-Care as a Prerequisite to client care

Intellectual wellness is the ability to function as an inde-
pendent person capable of making sound decisions. Such decisions are based
on the individual's needs but at the same time take into account the needs of
others. Clear thinking, problem-solving skills, good judgment, and the desire to
continually learn are all qualities found in the person who is intellectually well.
Sociocultural wellness is the ability to appreciate
the needs of others and to care about one's environment and the
inhabitants of it. As a nurse, you will care for clients of all ages and
races who speak different languages and come from various
cultural groups.
