Community Nursing focuses on helping the individual, family and community to the satisfaction of basic needs throughout the life cycle, and in each of the health-disease processes that they may face. A constant objective of Community Nursing will be the prevention and promotion of self-care and personal responsibility in knowledge and health promotion itself. Because of this, health education is important. In this course the contents about the basics and main tools of health education will be developed.
The Community Nursing course aims to go into depth of the professional development of the student in Community Nursing and in their areas of action with the role of nursing within the primary care unit. In addition, it endeavors to provide the basis for the development and evaluation of health programs.
From the perspective of Applied Psychosocial Sciences, the course aims that students acquire a basic but accurate knowledge about personal, social and cultural human aspects and discover in psychology an aid in the field of health and rehabilitation.
In this course a joint effort will be made to the course of simulation labs, in which the student will face a nursing consultation in three different scenarios with the collaboration of a standard patient. This is a cross - training activity within a project of interdisciplinary teaching innovation.
Additionally, in this course students will be able to make a solidarity practicum carrying out voluntary activities in NGOs or foundations (Places are limited. Students will receive the information about the selection process and the various possibilities at the beginning of the course).
The solidarity project of the UIC is an integral formative experience that promotes the acquisition of skills for personal development (such as responsibility, social commitment, service capacity, etc.).
