Question

Who identified a hierarchy of five needs to describe how individuals are motivated?

Answer 1

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

Explanation:

• Each level must be passed before you are able to move on the next one.

There are five levels :
**
Physiological
-
Safety
-
Love/belonging
-
Esteem
-
Self-actualisation
-
Example of physiological needs being met in a health and social care setting is a healthcare worker helping a person with daily activities e.g. eating and going to the toilet
- Example of safety needs being met is to communicate in a way that the patient knows that they are not going to be hurt and that everything that is being done is for the best e.g. speak to them in a soft voice without using jargon
- Example of love needs being met is to allow family and friends to
visit a patient whenever they need to
- Example of esteem needs being met is to use supportive and positive
communication techniques to help them to develop their self-esteem e.g. compliment the patient when you see them
- Example of self-actualisation needs being met is when activities like drawing are offered up for patients to do in a hospital
