Care related stress and distress video
These videos will provide knowledge surrounding the communication and behaviour skills that can be used to help provide oral care for residents living with dementia. It is also hoped that the learner will have a better understanding of the challenges faced when providing oral health care to residents living with dementia. The main aim of this training is to reduce the number of stressful situations for both the resident and care giver.
Background
This video provides a training opportunity to discuss ways to support residents who experience stress and distress during mouth care. It was created by carers in NHS Ayrshire & Arran, who acted out the scenarios within the video. And thanks to the team for sharing this resource. These fictional scenarios in no way reflect the care provided or behaviour of staff in the care homes.
