- Use and transfer: Students can select and apply criteria and instruments for the assessment of disease-specific nursing support needs in people with one of the frequently occurring internal medical conditions from the medical fields of diabetology (including paediatric diabetology), nephrology, nutritional medicine, gastroenterology and oncology and interpret the assessment results appropriately.
- Use and transfer: Students can plan evidence-based nursing interventions for people with one of the frequently occurring internal medical conditions from the medical fields of diabetology (including paediatric diabetology), nephrology, nutritional medicine, gastroenterology and oncology in a professional and situation-specific manner, carry these out safely in nursing situations of moderate to high complexity and evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the implementation.
- Academic self-conception/professionalism: Students have an initial awareness of the extended roles and tasks of Bachelor's-qualified nursing staff in the planning, management, coordination and evaluation of nursing and therapy processes for people of different ages with chronic illnesses
