Learning objectives

The teaching aims to explore, in light of the latest scientific evidence, methods and content for self-care behaviours promotion to address the most frequent and relevant health problems. It offers students the opportunity to apply educational and family intervention methodologies (e.g., Calgary Model of family intervention) to specific situations. SELF-CARE PLAN FOR NEURO-DEGENERATIVE DISEASES Module: Learning Outcomes: to address content and educational methodologies to promote self-care behaviours in the patient and family for an epidemiologically relevant neurodegenerative disease (e.g.ALS). ADVANCED METHODS OF FAMILY AND COMMUNITY NURSING Learning Outcomes: to learn and experiment with intervention strategies based on resilience and strengths, recognizing at the same time the family members' experience of the disease and the nurse's skills in managing the disease and promoting health. PHARMACOLOGY: SAFETY SYSTEMS FOR OUTPATIENT MEDICATION MANAGEMENT Module: Learning Outcomes: to understand the principles and methods of safe medication use and pharmacovigilance. Special attention will be given to prevention of adverse drug reactions and their reporting, poly-pharmacology, medication reconciliation, and strategies to reduce and prevent medication errors at home. SELF-CARE PLANS FOR CHRONIC DISEASES Module: Learning Outcomes: to address content and educational methodologies to promote patient and family self-care behaviours in relation to common chronic diseases (e.g., chronic renal failure, home dialysis, and diabetes)
