Qualification-goals/Competencies:

• Knowledge and understanding: They have a sound knowledge and understanding of the aetiology, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of typical childhood illnesses that are particularly relevant to the field of nursing due to their prevalence and/or clinical reasons. They are particularly sensitised to the role of parents in the context of the care process.
• Knowledge and understanding: They have a theoretically and empirically sound knowledge and understanding of the aetiology, symptoms, diagnosis, prevention and treatment as well as the prognosis of common diseases and complications in neonatology and the intensive medical treatment of babies and infants born at term.
• Knowledge and understanding: They know and understand the needs and psychosocial burdens of the parents and families concerned and are sensitised to the need to involve family caregivers in accordance with their preferences and resources.
• Knowledge and understanding: They know and understand evidence-based recommendations for care-relevant interventions (diagnostics, prevention, treatment, involvement of family caregivers) in the context of neonatological or paediatric intensive care. They also know and understand the indications, procedures and potential complications of medical or therapeutic interventions in neonatology or paediatric intensive care in which nurses are involved.
• Knowledge and understanding: They are able to integrate clinical knowledge on a case-by-case basis with regard to nursing diagnostics and decision-making (exemplarily limited to diseases with a high prevalence in nursing care settings).
• Knowledge and understanding: They are able to recognise and assess the health status and health needs of individuals and families within the context of their cultures and communities.
• Use, application and generation of knowledge: They are able to recognise the information, guidance and counselling needs of the affected parents (and, depending on age/ability, also of the sick children) and, as required, provide nursing information, counselling and guidance in accordance with the principles of evidence-based patient information and shared decision-making. They are sensitive to any existing ethical conflicts or particular psychological stress situations and are able to provide the necessary further specialist support.
• Use, application and generation of knowledge: They are able to make decisions on the basis of ethical principles. They are aware of the potential and limitations of their clinical competences and take these into account in their own nursing decisions and actions. They are able to responsibly develop their knowledge, understanding and competences by reflecting on their own clinical experience, researching and critically evaluating external scientific evidence and engaging in appropriate dialogue with colleagues from their own and other participating professional groups.
• Use, application and generation of knowledge: They are able to plan and provide care for families within their area of responsibility. In doing so, the health promotion of the individual, the family and the entire living environment is taken into account.
• Use, application and generation of knowledge: You can participate safely and appropriately in medical or therapeutic measures in neonatology or paediatric intensive care medicine.
• Communication and co-operation: They are able to communicate adequately with others involved in the provision of care on case-related clinical issues and make correct written and oral use of medical and inter-professional specialist terminology.
• Communication and cooperation: You can recognise the need for clinical information and/or specialist information for the nursing assessment of the state of health of neonatal or intensive care children and obtain the necessary information.
