Humanity and Health in a Societal Perspective

In this course, students shall consider the life situation and background of individuals in terms of both society and health care. Students shall study health and sustainability in relation to both global and national public health and sustainability goals, where culturally adapted care and equal treatment are central to the work nurses undertake to promote good health. Vulnerability from a societal perspective and the individual’s need for security and protection form components of the course, as do men’s violence towards women and violence in close relations, including honour-based violence. There will also be study of the life conditions of children and adults and the need for support in relation to displacement, migration and integration.
