Learning outcomes

The Advanced Programme in Nurse Anaesthesia is based on the national curriculum for further education in nurse anaesthesia and the regulations relating to the national curriculum for further education in nurse anaesthesia adopted by the Ministry of Education and Research on 1 December 2005 and meets the requirements stipulated in these documents. The programme has a scope of 90 credits, and is taken as a full-time course of study over one and a half years. After completing the programme, the students will have action competence in the field of nurse anaesthesia; see the requirements set out in the national curriculum for further education in nurse anaesthesia with pertaining regulations.

Nurse anaesthesia

Nurse anaesthesia consists of practising nursing and anaesthesiology activities in connection with surgery, procedures and examinations and in acute situations in and outside a hospital setting. Nurse anaesthesia is a form of independent professional practice that takes place in close collaboration with other members of the healthcare team, in particular anaesthetists. The anaesthesiology activities are delegated by a doctor. Anaesthesiology work comprises general and regional anaesthesia and observing patients under e.g. sedation. Many of the patients are moved from a familiar environment into a hospital ward characterised by high-tech equipment, many personnel groups with clearly defined functions and a high degree of efficiency. The patient target group comprises people of all ages who:

  • are admitted for planned surgery or examination
  • have suffered an injury/accident
  • suffer acute illness
  • experience an acute exacerbation of a long-term illness
  • are in a condition where their vital functions are threatened or failing
  • end up in a state of physical, mental, social and/or existential crisis due to the illness they experience
  • need pain relief due to acute and/or chronic illness

 

All these groups of patients can have additional diseases or conditions that also require the special expertise of a nurse anaesthetist.

Relevance to working life

The Advanced Programme in Nurse Anaesthesia is intended to help to cover society¿s increasing need for specialist nursing skills, primarily in the specialist health service, but also in the municipal health service.

Nurse anaesthetists are in high demand, as they are key personnel in the specialist health service when it comes to providing professionally sound healthcare to acutely and critically ill patients. The specialist health service seeks nurse anaesthetists who practise their profession in a sound manner and on a scientific basis. Today, we can treat many diseases and injuries that could not be treated in the past. Also, the patients admitted to somatic hospitals are sicker than they used to be. This development makes new and stricter requirements of nurse anaesthetists. Society requires intensive nurse anaesthetists to work in an evidence-based manner where their nursing practice is based on knowledge gained from research and experience, in addition to patient knowledge. Nurse anaesthetists shall be capable of analysing and taking a critical approach to existing theories and methods in advanced medical treatment and nurse anaesthesia. Moreover, they shall be able to contribute to new ideas and innovation processes in their own practice, and make independent use of relevant methods for quality-related work (professional development, quality assurance or quality control work) in the field of nurse anaesthesia. Nurse anaesthetists are qualified to take greater responsibility for evidence-based nurse anaesthesia in relation to acutely and/or critically ill patients in and outside a hospital setting.

In hospitals, nurse anaesthetists work in anaesthesia departments, surgical departments, postoperative units, accident and emergency departments, examination and treatment rooms, pain clinics and radiology departments. The nurse anaesthetist plays an important role in prehospital work, call-outs and transport of acutely and/or critically ill patients. Other potential workplaces are enterprises that require a high degree of emergency preparedness and the ability to work independently in acute situations, for example in offshore activities. Traditionally, nurse anaesthetists have also engaged in different forms of international aid work.

The municipal health service is also experiencing a growing need for specialist nursing skills. The Act relating to Municipal Health and Care Services, etc. (the Health and Care Services Act) has given the municipalities a greater role in the treatment of acute-onset illness, exacerbation of chronic illness and in follow-up care for patients whose hospital treatment is finished. Therefore, nurse anaesthetists will also be in demand in the municipal health service. The Norwegian Association of Nurse Anesthetists describes the special function and role of nurse anaesthetists in its code of ethics, standards of practice, monitoring and education for nurse anaesthetists (¿Grunnlagsdokument for anestesisykepleiere¿) (https://www.alnsf.no/alnsf/grunnlagsdokument).

After completing the Master¿s Programme in Nurse Anaesthesia, candidates will have action competence in the field of nurse anaesthesia, but will also be qualified to initiate and implement development projects and participate in research work within their own organisation. Candidates are qualified to take greater responsibility for evidence-based nurse anaesthesia in relation to acutely and/or critically ill patients in and outside a hospital setting.

Relevance to further studies

The Advanced Programme is identical to the first three semesters of the Master¿s Programme in Nurse Anaesthesia at OsloMet ¿ Oslo Metropolitan University. Students who complete the Advanced Programme in Intensive Care Nursing in accordance with this programme description, will only have to write the master¿s thesis to be awarded the degree of Master of Nurse Anaesthesia, provided that they meet the admission requirements for the master's degree programme.

Content and structure

The target group for the programme is authorised general nurses who would like to work as nurse anaesthetists ¿ primarily in the specialist health service, but also in treatment of conditions for which pain relief or anaesthesia is required in the municipal health service.

Other information

The work and teaching methods used in the programme are based on a sociocultural perspective on learning. This means that the student participates in and contributes to a learning community where fellow students, lecturers and others are important to his/her learning. The goal of the work methods is to encourage independence, fresh thinking, own activity and reflection. Feedback, formative (continuous) assessment and supervision will be the learning community¿s key activities to advance learning. Learning is considered a process that involves the whole person and is manifested through the change in the person learning.

Study methods that promote evidence-based practice are used throughout the programme in that the student integrates knowledge from research and experience and patient knowledge.

The programme emphasises student-active methods intended to encourage the students to actively seek relevant and reliable sources of knowledge. The process will alternate between individual work and interaction with fellow students and others in group work, seminars, simulations and practical training.

Lectures

Lectures are primarily used to introduce new subject matter, give an overview and highlight main elements and links between different topics, and also to communicate relevant issues. The lectures in the three common courses for several of our advanced nursing programmes will be held as joint lectures, but joint lectures will also be used in other courses. Most lectures are held in a Scandinavian language, but they can also take place in English.

 

Group work

Group work, is used as a teaching method to encourage cooperation between students, support the learning of subject matter and provide training in cooperation and interaction skills, which are necessary skills in professional practice.

Seminars

Seminars, are held in which students present assignments they have been working on and receive oral feedback from their fellow students and lecturers. The purpose of the seminars is to stimulate each other¿s learning process, clarify students' own understanding of the subject and develop cooperation skills. The students are given the opportunity to practise their academic formulation skills, and academic discussions between students and lecturers are facilitated.

Teaching/providing guidance to patients and/or fellow students

During the programme, preferably in the third semester, the student will conduct a teaching session for fellow students/colleagues or provide guidance to a patient, for example delivering preoperative information.

Self-studyNot all topics are covered by organised teaching activities, and students are expected to acquire knowledge of the remaining topics through self-study. Students come to this programme with different preconditions for learning, and self-study enables them to prioritise topics and areas they want to focus on. Self-study also helps to encourage independent activity and reflection.

Simulation

Simulation, which is compulsory attendance, is used to practise procedures and become familiar with equipment and machines. Simulation is also used to gain teamwork experience and skills in relation to rarely occurring and life-threatening situations, particularly complex situations that require prompt and appropriate action. Simulator training allows students to pause in situations that require reflection in action. After having had the chance to reflect on their own actions, students can repeat the situation in order to become better prepared to act.

Practical trainingPractical training, which is compulsory attendance, is an important work method in the programme. See a more detailed description in the chapter on practical training.
