What is meant by "Unconditional Positive Regard"?

Question

This is to do with Therapeutic Nurse-patient relationship

Answer 1

i agree with dr.doom he is correct

Answer 2

That is a concept originated by psychotherapist Carl Rogers. It means that whatever the patient has said or done, it does not change the way the therapist regards the patient. Therefore, the patient feels free to express any of his feelings because he knows the therapist will not think less of him. Unconditional Positive Regard is supposed to create a safe environment for the patient to express his feelings, no matter how distasteful they are. It is also supposed to separate the action from the person (i.e., just because the patient said or did this bad thing does not make him a bad person).

Answer 3

Well, a U.P.R. (Unconditional Positive ReGuard) or "UPPER" as it's sometimes called, is a tent-like device deployed by female nurses while giving sponge baths to "excitable" male patients. It is also manufactured under the name, T.P.P.

The device, nicknamed "The Berlin Wall", is made of heavy-gauge stainless steel, is unbreachable and therefore offers an "Unconditional" barrier of protection.

It is "Positive" in that it allows the nurse to safely carry out her duties, without the constant fear of a North Korean 'missile launch' of sorts. This may also save the male patient from "possible" embarrassment, but I doubt it.

The word, "ReGuard", means the device may be "RE-used" over and over again. And unlike the former Berlin Wall in Germany, the UPPER is built to last and is guaranteed for life.

In the end, a professional nurse/patient relationship is preserved, while simultaneously reducing work related eye injuries by over 95%.

I hope this answers your question.

Unconditional positive regard (UPR) is a concept in client-centered therapy. Carl Rogers, who created client-centered therapy, designated unconditional positive regard as one of the three conditions were necessary for positive change, along with empathy and genuineness (congruence).

Unconditional positive regard encourages the therapist, termed a counselor by Rogers, to treat the client as worthy and capable, even when the client does not act or feel that way. According to the Rogers's theory, mental illness is often caused by the absence of love, or by a defective kind of love, that the client received as a child. By showing the client unconditional positive regard and acceptance, the therapist is providing the best possible conditions for personal growth to the client.

To practice unconditional positive regard, while maintaining congruence at all times, the therapist provides specific feedback. The counselors show and demonstrate their care with their actions. If a clinician finds it hard to unconditionally regard their patient in a positive light, they need to keep in mind Rogers’ belief that all people have the internal resources required for personal growth. According to this theory, it is the environment that can make the difference as to whether growth occurs. A patient’s past environment may have been such that patterns of behaviour were developed in order to survive in that environment. These patterns can become entrenched so that the patient continues to operate in the world with them even if they are no longer appropriate. It is usually an inappropriate pattern that makes it hard for the clinician to regard their clients positively. The clinician needs to feel for the person under those patterns and for the person who was damaged and then survived by adapting by developing the patterns that are no longer appropriate
