You may meet a client/patient/case that needs immediate attention: 1. ORS for a child with diarrhoea 2. FP devices (Condoms, Pills) for a client/couple 3. A needy client who has no access to health care 4. Need to educate a mother or client about common disease problems using IEC materials 5. Need to write down your observations, referrals made, defaulters traced and summary of facts. Topic 3 Role of the volunteer in home visiting Your role as a volunteer is to help families improve their own health. The volunteer identifies barriers that prevent families from adopting behaviours that will improve their health. Building on what they already know and have, the volunteer assists families to take the necessary actions to improve their own health. Note that the way you interact with people can help you work better than all your technical knowledge. When you are friendly and pleasant with your community members, they are more likely to take your advice. What your clients do about what you tell them depends on what they think and feel about you. So be respectful and patient, and treat your clients as special people. Exercise 4.1.6 Objective 1. To demonstrate the outcome of an unplanned home visit Time – 20 minutes. Instructions to the Facilitator 1. Guide participants to role-play a poorly planned home visit 2. Use the SHOWED approach to process the role-play. 187

Box 4.1.7: Benefits of Home Visits 1. Trace defaulters and do follow up 2. Encourage proper use of ITNs 3. Eliminate quack doctors 4. Improve environmental sanitation 5.

Lead participants to brainstorm the benefits of home visits. 2. Compare responses with those in Box 4.1.7 and update accordingly. Effective home visiting brings health to the home and helps trace defaulters and make referrals. Home visiting is an essential part of a volunteer’s job. Home visiting provides an opportunity to interact with people and get to know what their health problems are and how to help solve them. In the process of doing so, the volunteer must be very careful not to lose the trust of his or her community members.
