SYKKPRA50 Nursing Persons with Mental Health Problems Course description

In this course, students will learn about mental health work, relational skills and factors that promote and harm the mental health of individuals and groups. People's resources and opportunities, but also their vulnerabilities as individuals, are areas of focus. The significance of close relationships and society's influence are important for mental health and are emphasised in the course. This includes patient phenomena such as hope and hopelessness, pain and pain relief, exhaustion and energy.

In addition, the students taking this course in the spring semester will participate in the interdisciplinary teaching activity INTER1300 ‘Interprofessional collaboration on and with children, young people and their families’, with a scope corresponding to 1.5 credits carried out in the beginning of January. The theme will be how different professions can cooperate on and with children and adolescents. This includes a theoretical understanding of and research-based knowledge about interprofessional cooperation about and with children, adolescents and their families. Examples of the students’ practical training periods in particular, and from interprofessional cooperation in different practical fields of practice in general, will be part of the work. The learning outcomes expected after completion of INTER1300 are marked with *. See INTERACT’s website for a more detailed description of the content of INTER1300 https://uni.oslomet.no/interact/

I kroppsøvingsfaget skal elevene lære og erfare med kroppen. Livslang bevegelsesglede er en sentral verdi i dagens læreplaner. Betydningen av elevers erfaringer og lærers kompetanser til å undervise med utgangspunkt i elevers kroppslige bevegelseserfaringer er derfor av betydning for faget. Videre er kroppsøving helt sentralt for å ta vare på elevers kroppslige dannelse. Kroppsøvingslærer må derfor kunne tilrettelegge for danningsprosesser hos elevene. Studentene må derfor ha kunnskap om og forståelse for kroppsøving som allmenndannende fag. En vesentlig dimensjon ved danning er kritisk refleksjon.
