Completed MAKLI4100 Clinical Research and Professional Development in Nursing.

Language of instruction: English (Norwegian if no English-speaking students have registered for the course)

This course is based on a humanistic view of life and fundamental values of nursing. Teaching covers ethical theories and key ethical problems that are important to relieving suffering and maintaining and protecting the patient’s dignity in vulnerable life situations. The course will give the students a more thorough understanding of how ethics form a part of patients' (and next of kin's) health in different clinical contexts. This topic will be related to cultural and social perspectives and be explored from a multicultural perspective.

The course also aims to highlight the importance of the nurse’s internalised values and ability to make decisions as a condition for practising ethically-founded patient care that safeguards the patient’s dignity. Among the topics discussed are dilemmas related to questions about life and death, prioritisation in the health services and increased use of welfare technology.

The course aims to bring the students’ argumentation and decision-making skills to an advanced level.
