> Awareness and knowledge - e.g. may not be aware of the funding or support available for going into a care home
> Practical challenges
> Skills challenges
> Acceptance and belief challenges
> Motivational challenges
> Communication challenges
Stretch & challenge: Explain why each would be a challenge for an elderly person.

Stretch & challenge: Explain why each would be a challenge for an elderly person.
Task 2
P4 Assessment criteria: Explain the strategies and communication techniques used with individuals different needs to overcome different challenges
In your assignments you will need to explain each challenge and apply to a case study.
> Pick one of the challenges each
> Explain what it is
> Apply to how it would be a challenge for the service user in each case study
Stretch & challenge: Swap books and peer assess your work with a green pen, adding details where possible and underlining inaccuracies

Information
Methods of identifying challenges
> Observation – looking at how the service user is behaving and identify what they might be finding difficult
> Focus groups – small groups of people come together to discuss ideas and what might need to change to help people overcome challenges
> Talking to individuals informally – talking to individuals using ‘normal’ language, but still asking questions to gain an idea of challenges
> Using questionnaires – this allows for a setting to gain information from a lot of service users and see what common challenges may be

Strategies to overcome challenges
> Educational information materials – leaflets, posters, DVD’s inform people on advice on how to overcome different challenges – awareness and knowledge, acceptance and beliefs
> Training courses – this could apply to carers being trained to look after specific service users needs, could be used with the service user themselves. These are usually run by councils and hospitals – skills challenges, practical challenges
> Opinion leaders – nominated person who has an influence in a particular area of health and social care they will be asked to speak on behalf of a number of service users to deal with challenges – awareness and knowledge, skills challenges
> Clinical audits – review of care practice, this can help change practices that would then help services users overcome challenges – Communication challenges, practical challenges
> Computer aided advice systems – online services which advise and guide service users in making decisions about their care – awareness and knowledge
> Patient mediated strategies – information given to service users via mass media, this allows service users to have information to influence decisions that are made – motivational strategies
