Learning outcomes

The course aims to offer students knowledge and methods to develop relational skills declined in professional and educational relationships. It introduces the student to a global vision of psychological development, of factors that interact to understand the needs expressed by persons and/ or caregivers, considering the stages of life development and the events that can go through it (illness, mourning, chronicity). It also proposes a deepening of the founding principles of the care relationship, of the techniques and strategies for managing effective communication with the person and the family. It is proposed to develop skills in educational planning, directed preferentially to people with chronic diseases in order to promote the learning of self-care and empowerment skills.
