OCR Health and Social Care Level 1/Level 2 (J835) Past Papers

Principles of care assignments require linking specific care values to specific examples of practice. Do not simply list values — demonstrate how each one shapes behaviour. For dignity: a care worker knocks before entering a resident's room, closes the curtain during personal care, and uses the person's preferred name. For person-centred care: the care plan is developed with the individual, reflecting their preferences, routines, and goals — not a one-size-fits-all approach. For confidentiality: personal health information is shared only with those who need it for the person's care, and stored securely in line with GDPR. For the Life Events unit, analyse the impact of each event across all four PIES dimensions (Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Social). Bereavement, for example: Physical — disrupted sleep, appetite loss, somatic symptoms; Intellectual — difficulty concentrating, reduced motivation; Emotional — grief, anger, guilt, depression; Social — withdrawal, changing relationships, loss of identity connected to the deceased. Transition theories (Bridges' transition model, SARAH model for change) provide frameworks for understanding how people move through difficult life events. Health promotion campaign assignments reward evidence-based target audience analysis. Before designing any campaign material, justify your target audience choice with statistics: if targeting teenage smoking, cite the relevant Public Health England or NHS data on prevalence in that age group. Then match your campaign medium to the target audience: teenagers are better reached through social media and school channels than through leaflets in GP surgeries. Apply the Health Belief Model (perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, self-efficacy) to explain why your campaign approach will change behaviour.
