Contents of teaching:

  • Evidence-based training and counselling services and innovative interprofessional care models to promote self-care for people with diabetic metabolic conditions (especially type 1 and (impending) type 2 diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes)
  • Special disease theory, especially early detection, differential diagnosis, therapy and care measures, for special forms of diabetes mellitus (e.g. iatrogenically induced or in the context of pancreatic diseases)
  • Interprofessional therapy and care planning for people with different complex care needs due to diabetic metabolic conditions (with and without secondary complications, especially chronic wounds, as well as various other somatic and cognitive-psychological comorbidities)
  • Evidence-based strategies for interprofessional, person-centred support and guidance for people with dementia and their caregivers, depending on the course and symptoms of the disease, especially for the prevention and minimisation of disease-related behavioural symptoms such as restlessness and agitation, tendency to wander off, circadian rhythm disruption, withdrawal and apathy; promotion of autonomy and meaningful living arrangements
  • Person-centred communication and shaping relationships with people with dementia
  • Counselling and support services for people with dementia (early stages of the disease) and their carers
  • Ethical decision-making in interprofessional collaboration in morally challenging care and treatment situations in the care of people with dementia (e.g. refusal of food intake)
  • Medical, medical-technical and nursing examination methods for monitoring the course of the disease and subsequent complications in people with diabetic metabolic conditions (especially type 1 and (impending) type 2 diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes) and chronic wounds (especially diabetic foot syndrome, ulcus cruris of various origins, secondary healing wounds)
  • Interprofessional communication processes (transfer of clinical assessments, recommendations, questions), profession-specific and interprofessional terminology

Qualification-goals/Competencies:

  • Broadening/deepening knowledge: Students can describe evidence-based training and counselling services and innovative interprofessional care models to promote self-care for people with diabetic metabolic conditions (especially type 1 and (impending) type 2 diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes) in terms of objectives, target groups, empirically and theoretically based mechanisms of action and implementation requirements.
  • Broadening/deepening knowledge: Students can explain rarer special forms of diabetic metabolic disorders with regard to their frequency, aetiology, early detection criteria, differential diagnosis, therapy, care and prognosis.
  • Understanding, use and transfer of knowledge: Students can independently and autonomously recognise the individual care needs of people with medically confirmed diabetic metabolic conditions of various origins and with secondary complications, especially chronic or difficult-to-heal wounds, and other somatic and cognitive-psychological comorbidities and initiate evidence-based adjustments to therapeutic and nursing measures within the framework of existing treatment pathways. In particular, they recognise the need for information, counselling and training for those affected and their caregivers and can plan suitable goals, services and evaluation criteria for information, counselling and training.
  • Broadening/deepening knowledge: Students can explain theoretically and empirically based strategies for the person-centred support and guidance of people with dementia and their caregivers, particularly with regard to specific indications and influenceable goals depending on the current symptom burden depending on the course of the disease, form of the disease and social support system.
  • Understanding, use and transfer of knowledge: Students can independently and autonomously recognise the individual care needs of people with medically confirmed diabetic metabolic conditions of various origins and with secondary complications, especially chronic or difficult-to-heal wounds, and other somatic and cognitive-psychological comorbidities and initiate evidence-based adjustments to diagnostic, therapeutic and nursing measures within the framework of existing treatment pathways. In particular, they recognise the need for information, counselling and training for those affected and their caregivers and can plan suitable goals, services and evaluation criteria for information, counselling and training.
  • Understanding, use and transfer of knowledge: Students can independently and autonomously recognise the individual care needs of people with medically confirmed dementia and various somatic comorbidities (especially chronic wounds) and their caregivers and initiate evidence-based adjustments to therapeutic and nursing measures within the framework of existing treatment pathways, taking into account the principles of person-centred support and guidance (e.g. recognition of the person, promotion of autonomy and creation of meaning). They recognise the need for information, counselling, instruction and training for those affected and their caregivers and can plan suitable goals, services and evaluation criteria for information, counselling and training.
  • Communication and coordination: Students are able to apply the principles of evidence-based patient information and shared decision-making, even in situations with challenging communication conditions (e.g. people with dementia).
  • Communication and coordination: Students are able to apply the principles of person-centred communication and relationship management in communication with people with dementia and their caregivers as appropriate to the situation.
  • Communication and coordination: Students can involve other professional groups, especially medical and therapeutic professions, in the provision of care in an appropriate and needs-based manner and communicate their own clinical assessments and therapeutic recommendations/questions to them in a structured manner.
  • Communication and coordination: Students are sensitised to similarities and differences in profession- and discipline-specific terminology and the resulting error risks in interprofessional communication and documentation. They can use comprehensible terminology/formulations across professions and disciplines.
  • Understanding of knowledge, scientific self-conception/professional understanding: Students recognise and reflect on uncertainties in clinical decision-making situations, e.g. due to a lack of or weak evidence-based recommendations, complex or ambiguous symptoms and needs of those affected or a lack of personal clinical experience, and name appropriate strategies for making decisions under uncertainty and for further developing/maintaining their own skills.
  • Scientific self-image/professional understanding: Students are able to identify needs for the further development of the quality of interprofessional care for people with diabetic metabolic conditions, chronic or difficult-to-heal wounds or dementia and can contribute to the development and implementation of science-based or science-orientated instruments for quality assurance and development (e.g. S3 guidelines, treatment pathways).
