In my unit 2 I began to use the health and social care text books that I found in the library and borrowed out for a few weeks. By doing this I gained a better understanding of the subject. There we began to cover communications and the effectiveness of different forms of communication. The health and social care text book gave me the information that I needed to include in my p1 and p2. From then on I began to research different websites on barriers of communication. This gave me an idea of what barriers are and how I need to explain it in my work. Another source of research that helped me understand what I need to include in my assignments is an AS Health and social care text book from Edexcel. I made sure I checked the validity, date and referenced everything which was not my own work. By using moodle you begin to understand the depth of work which is expected of you and it is explained efficiently enough to be understood, although sometimes I did find some questions puzzling so I asked the teacher to explain it to me if I was unable to find out for myself through dictionaries class mates or browsing the internet.
I found personally help from teachers particularly useful as they are able to guide you in the direction you need to go in. This gives you the chance to structure your work better and explain the what, how, why and support your work with references from reliable sources. I mostly used my references from the health and social care book useful to our course, since I knew the information was reliable and up to date. One useful source of information I stumbled upon was a pamphlet that I found during my work experience at city hospital which was written in 20 different languages explaining that guests/patients should wash their hands- this promoted hygiene and overcame the language barrier. I planned to put this in my assignment but as I had enough secondary research included I did not need it. Using different sources to research for information is important and can be useful if you prefer to switch between research methods. Outside of college I asked a few health workers to help me with my unit 2, they helped me understand how to deal with barriers in communication and what types of strategies are involved. This gave me the opportunity to use the knowledge gained and reflect it on my work.
