Core concepts from BN2020 programme profile
- Strengthening self-management: supporting self-management of people, their loved ones and their social network, with the aim of maintaining or improving daily functioning in relation to health and illness and quality of life.
- Person-oriented communication: actively listening to the care recipient, informing and empowering the care recipient to make choices in care and approaching the care recipient as a unique person; naturally being a guide, coach, expert or advisor, depending on the moment and circumstances.
- Indicating: determining, describing and organising the nature, duration, extent and purpose of the required (nursing) care, in consultation with the care recipient, based on diagnosed or potential patient problems to be further investigated and diagnosed.
- ICT deployment: applying the latest information and communication technologies and providing care at a distance (eHealth) to complement personal contact with the care recipient.
- Prevention-oriented analysis: analysing the behaviour and environment of the care recipient that leads to health problems of care recipients and target groups.
- Promoting healthy behaviour: providing support in achieving a healthy lifestyle in relation to (potential) health problems.
The first level involves a medium-complex context in which the focus is on applying knowledge and skills methodically using guidelines and protocols in varying but similar situations. The nature of the task is structured where familiar methods are applied. There is a build-up in self-direction leading to partly directed, partly undirected supervision. With guidance during preparation and execution focusing on learning (strategic) planning, self-efficacy, motivation and reflection. Reflection on actions focuses on knowing and understanding, with a focus on innovation.
Content
During this module, you will strengthen your nursing role in prevention and health promotion, with a focus on positive health, early signalling, self-management, and the use of E-health in the care of young people and frail elderly people.
In this module, you will learn how to methodically promote health in different ways. For instance, you will learn how to analyse and influence risky behaviour and self-management in a needy elderly person and their relatives (case study). With your learning team, you will work this into a health promotion plan, and during a verbal justification, you will show that you can substantiate and justify the plan.
You will learn to systematically analyse health risks and lifestyle aspects for youth and/or young adults and how to promote health to support self-management. You will work this out methodically through an analysis of the community.
Communication skills are taught through teaching sessions focusing on person-oriented communication, person- and family-centred care, behaviour change and applying motivational interviewing techniques. This is demonstrated during simulation interviews.
A virtual exchange with international nursing students provides insights into care systems and cultural differences in preventive care within other countries.
Within this module, personal and professional (identity) development is worked on in a cyclical process focusing on learning objectives, self-evaluation and reflection. These reflections should be carried out through an applied reflection methodology.
The 10-week module includes an average of 8 hours per week of teaching meetings with additional self-study, assignment development, and learning team consultations.
Topics covered include:
In this module, your competencies are assessed based on the specific learning outcomes. Different tests are offered for each learning outcome. The indicators are level-determining. Assessment can be either individual or group-based and evidence-based. Each individual test is assessed with a mark and must be satisfactory. You are entitled to two tests per year per test. The average of these tests constitutes the learning outcome grade.
Feedback from fellow students and lecturers prior to assessment is part of the learning process. An oral evaluation on your personal goals and progress takes place halfway through and at the end of the module. The average grade of the learning outcomes forms the final grade of the module.
Exemptions may be granted on the basis of previous results obtained elsewhere and/or work experience.
