SYKPPRA70B Prevention and Rehabilitation in Home-based Healthcare Service Course description

In this course, the student will learn about nursing for patients with chronic diseases, loss of function after injury or disease, intellectual disabilities and other complex diseases. The students will encounter patients in their own homes or in residential care homes. They will gain experience of communicating and interacting with patients and next-of-kin. Challenges related to key patient phenomena, functional impairment, mastery, dignity and user participation will be central aspects of the course. Different perspectives on nursing in a care and rehabilitation context are analysed with the home as the arena, at the intersection between paternalism and autonomy, as well as different cultural values. Interprofessional and intersectoral cooperation and service development and innovation are also included in the course. You will complete 7 weeks of practical training in this course.

To start this course you must have passed:

• Passed the first year of study.
• SYKP/SYKP2100 Person Centered Care, 15 credits.
• SYKK/SYKPPRA21 Nursing Patients with Acute, Critical and Chronic Diseases 1, 15 credits.
• SYKK/SYKPPRA30 Nursing Patients with Acute, Critical and Chronic Diseases 2, 10 credits.

or equivalent.*

* For year group 2022 at OsloMet, the equivalent is:

• Passed the first year of study.
• SYKK/SYKPPRA20 Nursing Patients with Acute, Critical and Chronic Diseases 1, 20 credits.
• SYKP/SYKP1060 Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) in Health Care, 5 credits.
• SYKP/SYKK2000 Theory of Science and Research Methods, 5 credits.
• SYKK/SYKPPRA30 Nursing Patients with Acute, Critical and Chronic Diseases 2, 10 credits.

The course focuses on organic chemistry as a basis for the pharmacy disciplines. The course covers central functional groups in organic chemistry, organic chemical structures and theory of reactions with a focus on pharmaceuticals.

Subjects covered by the course, with credits specified:

• Organic chemistry 10 credits

The student must have been admitted to the study programme.

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

Knowledge

The student

• is capable of explaining the structure and properties of important functional groups in active pharmaceutical ingredients and the relationship between the chemical structure and reactivity of organic molecules
• is capable of explaining the concepts of resonance, isometry and stereochemical ratios, including identifying the chiral centres in active pharmaceutical ingredients and naming the correct stereochemistry
• is capable of explaining key types of reactions and reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry

Skills

The student

• is capable of carrying out chemical synthesis of simple active pharmaceutical ingredients under supervision
• is capable of conducting and interpreting and presenting experimental data from selected organic chemistry experiments
• is capable of identifying simple organic compounds based on their NMR spectroscopic data
• is capable of using IR spectroscopy, thin-layer chromatography and gas chromatography as methods of identification under supervision
• demonstrates responsible conduct at the laboratory and can work in accordance with the regulations for health, safety and the environment (HSE)

General competence

The student

• demonstrates an understanding of important functional groups in organic chemistry, organic chemical structures and theory of reactions with a focus on medicine.

The work and teaching methods consist of lectures, seminars, group work and a laboratory course. Digital learning resources are an important part of the teaching. Practical skills are acquired through the laboratory work. The students must complete pre-lab and a safety course before they can begin the laboratory course. The course also includes written tests. By alternating between theory and practice, the programme helps the students to develop their ability to cooperate and work independently.

The following required coursework must be approved before the student can take the exam:

• minimum attendance requirement of 80% at the laboratory course
• a minimum attendance requirement of 80% at seminars with supervised group work
• laboratory reports in accordance with specified criteria
• completed safety training before participating in the laboratory course

Exam content: The learning outcomes.

Exam form: Supervised individual written exam, 5 hours.

• The student's own approved laboratory reports.
• Handwritten notes by the student.
• Kjemidata (tabels) by Bjørn Pedersen.
• Calculator.
• Molecular model set.

Grade scale A-F.
