SYKKPRA10 Foundations of Nursing 2 Course description

In this course, students will further develop their knowledge of people’s fundamental needs and resources. Reactions, experiences and signs of health deficits are key aspects of the course. Students must develop skills in observing and assess patients’ fundamental needs and resources in clinical practice. Students will also gain experience of communicating with patients and their next-of-kin. You will complete 7 weeks of practical training in this course.

• can relate to patients, next-of-kin and colleagues in accordance with professional and ethical principles for nurses
• can understand what it means to be in need of help and dependent on others

• can demonstrate accuracy and reliability in the performance of work related to practice
• can take initiative and show responsibility in planning and carrying out own practice in meetings with patients, next-of-kin and colleagues

See course description.

Part 1 Assessment of practical training

Practical training has requirements for attendance 90 %. The student fills in a, self-presentation for the start of the practice and self-assessment for the mid- and final assessment. Other compulsory activities included in the assessment of practical training are:

• Individual assignment, scope of 1,500 words (+/- 10%).

Part 2 Individual test - practical skills in nursing (modified OSCE test):

The following must have been approved in order for the student to take part 2 of exam:

• Participation om SF-unit, 90 % attendance of timetabled activity marked compulsory.
• Inspirational practical training, one-week, compulsory attendance of 90 % of practical training. Focusing on the nurse’s role and responsibilities. Supervised preferably by third year students. (take place in the autumn semester).

Combined assessment.

Part 1 Assessment of practical training.

The assessment takes its point of departure in given criteria based on learning outcomes for the course, criteria for failing the practical training, criteria for suitability assessment and compulsory activities carried throughout the practical training. Students’ practical training can only be assessed if their attendance is sufficiently high (90%). For more information, see the general part of the programme description about the assessment of practical training.

If the student has failed the practical training, the whole practical training course must be retaken. This includes associated requirements.

Part 2 Supervised individual written exam.

Practical test (modified OSCE test, objective structured clinical examination) which includes an MC test (multiple choice), related to basic skills in nursing and the learning outcomes in the course. Carried out station based.

Part 1 and part 2 can be taken independently of each other. The student must have obtained a pass grade on both parts in order to pass the course as a whole and earn the credits. Part 1 and part 2 appear on the diploma.

This course is based on the clinical work processes covered in ORI1000 and is the first of four courses in orthopaedic technology. Knowledge acquired in the courses in anatomy and biomechanics will be used. The focus is on users with lower limb amputations, especially at transtibial (below the knee) or transfemoral (above the knee) level. These two levels account for a high proportion of prosthetic technology work.

Studentene skal gjennom dette emnet etablere en forståelse for journalistiske bilders egenskaper. Emnet belyser forholdet mellom bilders egenskaper og menneskets visuelle persepsjon og kultur. I tillegg ser emnet på hvilke krav som stilles til journalistiske bilder utfra journalistikkens krav om sannferdighet. Studentene lærer å analysere bilder i journalistikken med et begrepsapparat som gir mening i en faglig arbeidssituasjon.

After completing the course, the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student

• can explain the medical reasons for lower-limb amputation
• can refer to anatomical landmarks/structures that are significant to the adaptation of transtibial and transfemoral prostheses
• is familiar with amputation surgery at the transtibial and transfemoral level
• can explain pain and other consequential conditions after an amputation, and psychosocial aspects of amputations and the use of prostheses
• is familiar with symptoms of cognitive deficits and the consequences of this when communicating about the use of prostheses
• can describe key terms in socket technology, alignment and biomechanics in connection with adaptation of transtibial and transfemoral prostheses
• can give an account of materials used in prosthetic liners, such as silicone, elastomers and foam materials

Skills

The student

• can conduct a visual gait analysis and correct gait deviations
• can use functional tests, make plaster moulds, take measurements and use 3D scanning, printing and modelling
• can carry out clinical processes following amputations at transtibial and transfemoral level
• can explain choices of components and materials based on patient history and functional assessment
• can apply outcome measures and ICF and use the information in patient records and to define goals
• can write patient records
• can prepare work descriptions and carry out technical production procedures in the production of transtibial and transfemoral prostheses
• can search for, summarise and reference research articles

General competence

The student

• can apply fundamental clinical reasoning to become familiar with the needs of the users
• can conduct him/herself in a professional manner and take care of users in clinical settings
• can communicate both orally and in writing with users, fellow students and staff in clinical and technical situations

Emnet er inndelt i fire delemner:

1. Persepsjon, psykologi og semiotisk bildeanalyse 2. Kommunikasjonsteori og bildekritikk 3. Krig, protestbevegelser og identiteter 4. Virkelighet, KI og bildejournalistikk

Kurset innledes med samlinger over i to dager per uke som dekker hvert av delemnene. Samlingsdagene inneholder forelesninger og gruppeoppgaver knytta til pensumlesning, plenumsoppgaver og evaluering av medstudenters oppgaver. I samlingene formidles også erfaringskunnskap fra forelesere og gjesteforeleser som ikke alltid dekkes av pensum.

Undervisningen foregår fysisk, på campus.
