Course history

Introduction

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.
