#WellnessInCareChat today is looking at a major cause of stress in health & social care staff, which in turn impacts on people accessing services. The stressor is referred to as distress caused by conflicting moral/ethical values at work. #MoralInjury (#Greenerg&Tracey2020)

#WellnessInCareChat - In sharing ideas for wellness-focused practice with staff and people accessing services this week some staff raised difficulties in managing internal conflict when circumstances at work are not in harmony with personal moral or ethical codes. #StressAtWork

E.G.s included weighing up risks to a person versus the person's rights to choose. But more were about a perceived tension in being 'professional' with 'set scripts' that 'must not include giving false hope' in mental & physical health, & watching impact. #WellnessInCareChat

Some health & social care staff living with health conditions or protected disabilities themselves (e.g. #dyspraxia, #PTSD, #cancer) prefer wellness-focused practice that looks to strengths, abilities, hopefulness, love and empowerment. #WellnessInCareChat

Yes.. Listening is so important.. been meeting with NHS Highland & Improvement Hub with third sector orgs about #Collaborative approaches to common aims and importance of communication, transparency, learning mindset and asking question 'What matters most for you?' #WellnessInCareChat

was great to be reminded of the #Vanguard quote 'Do the right thing' .. discovering what means for people accessing services, for staff, for each person in the 'crew'. Everyone in the picture has a responsibility. #WellnessInCareChat WellnessChat

"Home" may have a spiritual meaning... the place of ever-after. Or 'people may be worried about their home. A blessing (prayer) helped someone relax: 'bless my home and keep it safe ...' p139 #AlzChat uk.jkp.com/products/a-cre…

Just completed a 12.5K word report, partly giving voice to people who felt afraid to go caring services that were meant to help them... that's when you know something has gone wrong with a system. But there's hope. That's the part I'm keen to explore. Dwelling in possibilities ✍️
