Nursing Care in Different Phases of Life II

This course comprises psychiatric nursing, commonly occurring mental illness among adults and legislation in psychiatric care. The course's content is problematised from an sustainability perspective. The course contains 12 weeks of clinical placement (VFU) in different contexts where the student practices identifying and supporting the individual's, patient's and relatives resources. During clinical placement the student shall, based on the nursing process and current laws and regulations with a person-centred and patient-safe approach, independently under supervision identify needs related to mental and somatic illness. Based on this, the nursing care is planned, implemented, evaluated and documented. During clinical placement, opportunities are provided to train relationship creation and communication, to train on prevention, support and teaching, and to practise patient-safe care and optimization of health through nursing planning and documentation. In connection with clinical placement, two occasions of professional supervision in nursing (YHiO) will be held.
