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.

Other practical training and activities (1 week) can be lectures, simulation, flipped classroom, digital learning resources and seminars.

Course requirements

For practical training, there is a requirement for 80% attendance in theory, activities and practical training that is marked compulsory in the timetable, as well as 90% attendance during the practical training period itself. The student fills in the self-assessment for the start of the practical training, the rotating schedule during the first week of practical training and the self-assessment form no later than two working days before the agreed mid- and final assessment. Other compulsory assignments included in the overall assessment of the course are:

  • Simulation palliation
  • Innovation and service development, participation in workshops related to innovation and innovation processes
  • Group assignment (3-5 students) - based on learning outcomes in the course, the group formulates an issue related to nursing in private homes or in care homes. Scope 1000 words (+/- 10 %). Based on the project description, the group creates a poster that is presented at a seminar before the final assessment.

Assessment

Det pedagogiske opplegget vil variere fra et emne til et annet. Arbeidsmåter kan være forelesninger, diskusjoner, selvstudium, studiebesøk, studentpresentasjoner, gruppearbeid og caseoppgaver. Undervisningen er lagt opp som ukesamlinger, tre til fem samlinger i semesteret.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

Studenter ved bachelorstudiet i arkivvitenskap kan søke om utveksling i 5. semester. Fakultet for samfunnsfag har avtaler innenfor Erasmus-programmet og Nordplus-programmet, og studentene kan også søke utveksling gjennom OsloMets avtaler utenfor Europa. Mer informasjon om dette finnes på OsloMets og fakultetets nettsider.  Emnene må være arkivrelevante og godkjennes i forkant.

Grading scale

Omfanget av de enkelte arbeidskravene vil variere med oppgavens tema. Alle arbeidskrav må være levert innen en fastsatt frist og godkjent av faglærer, før kandidaten kan fremstille seg til eksamen i emnet. Ved underkjenning av arbeidskrav vil kandidaten få mulighet til å levere en bearbeidet versjon av oppgaven innen ny frist. Overholdes ikke denne fristen, vil kandidaten bli trukket fra eksamen.

Examiners

Vurdering og sensur foregår i samsvar med bestemmelsene om vurdering i lov av 1. april 2005 nr. 15 om universiteter og høyskoler og Forskrift om studier og eksamen ved Høgskolen i Oslo og Akershus .

Som vurderingsuttrykk brukes en gradert skala med fem trinn fra A til E for bestått og F for ikke bestått.

Hvert emne blir avsluttet med eksamen. Eksamensformene varierer. Nærmere beskrivelse av vurderingsformen i de enkelte emner framgår av emnebeskrivelsene.

Ekstern sensor deltar i arbeidet med å utforme vurderingskriteriene. Alle oppgavene blir vurdert av intern sensor. Et tilfeldig utvalg på 25 prosent av oppgavene blir også vurdert av ekstern sensor. Karakterene på de besvarelsene som er vurdert av ekstern sensor danner grunnlag for å fastsette nivå på besvarelsene innenfor de ulike karakteruttrykkene. Intern sensor skal ta hensyn til ekstern sensors vurdering ved sensurering av alle eksamensoppgaver.

Til eksamen vil kandidatene kunne bli prøvd i alt stoff som er gjennomgått i undervisningen. Dette gjelder også stoff som ikke er dekket spesielt i pensum.

Etter fullført studium får studenten tildelt vitnemål med alle sluttkarakterer på de emnene som danner grunnlaget for graden.
