• Bachelor Applied Nursing (part-time) 2022, optional subject, for equivalence check
• Bachelor of Science in Nursing 2020, basic module, Evidence-based nursing practice

Classes and lectures:

• Introduction to evidence-based practice – basic measures of nursing diagnostics and interventions 2 (lecture, 2 SWS)
• Basic general measures of nursing diagnostics and interventions 2 (exercise, 3 SWS)

Workload:

• 25 hours private studies
• 80 hours integrated internship hours
• 75 hours in-classroom work

Contents of teaching:

• Clinical assessment and assessment tools - definitions and requirements from the perspective of evidence-based diagnostics
• Assessment of the need for care support in the activities of daily living with special consideration of impairments in the perceptual, communication and/or cognitive abilities of people in need of care.
• Extended and in-depth examination of care interventions to support restrictions in the activities of daily living, particularly in relation to nutrition, breathing and maintaining body temperature
• Carrying out frequent treatment care measures, e.g. dressings or wound care for primary healing wounds, injections (s.c.), drainage and bladder catheter care: Areas of application, implementation steps, requirements for safe, complication-avoiding implementation, potential adverse effects or complications
• In-depth implementation of the care process

Qualification-goals/Competencies:

• Broadening/deepening knowledge: Students can describe and justify the requirements for nursing assessment instruments and other nursing diagnostic procedures from the perspective of evidence-based diagnostics.
• Broadening/deepening knowledge: They can name instruments and methods for collecting and evaluating care-relevant information on the support needs of people with perceptual, communication and/or cognitive impairments.
• Knowledge enhancement: They can describe and justify the requirements and steps involved in carrying out common treatment care measures (administration of medication p.o., s.c., i.m., inhalations, placement of urinary catheters, wound care for primary healing wounds) and can name and explain potential complications and corresponding observation criteria.
• Utilisation and transfer: They are able to select and apply suitable methods for gathering information on the need for care support in activities of daily living. In particular, they are able to recognise care-relevant impairments in perceptual, communication or cognitive abilities and to record and describe them in an appropriate manner. As far as possible and appropriate, they involve the caregivers of those affected and utilise information relevant to care diagnosis from other professional groups.
• Use and transfer: They recognise and reflect on possible limitations of available assessment methods or diagnostic approaches and take these limitations into account in their nursing decisions.
• Utilisation and transfer: You can select suitable nursing interventions according to the identified need for support in the activities of daily living and prepare, implement, follow up and evaluate these safely and appropriately in the individual course.
• Instrumental competences: You will be able to safely prepare, carry out and follow up on the above-mentioned frequent treatment care and medical assistance measures under simple practice conditions. They pay attention to important observation criteria for the early identification of complications.
• Communication and cooperation: They are able to organise nursing communication with people with complex nursing support needs (e.g. due to impaired communication skills) in a targeted and appropriate manner in order to gather information relevant to nursing care.
• Communication and cooperation: They are able to seek contact with other people involved in care and treatment as appropriate to the situation and, in dialogue with them, gather important information for the assessment of nursing support needs and communicate the results of their own nursing diagnostics appropriately.
• Academic self-conception/professionalism: They are able to critically reflect on their own nursing skills development and identify learning strategies for further skills development.
• Scientific self-conception/professionalism: They are able to use the knowledge content of other modules, in particular nursing science methods, human science principles and legal/social framework conditions, to justify their own decisions in the nursing process and critically reflect on the level of scientific evidence for frequently used nursing interventions to support activities of daily living.
