For all the themes developed, the student will be offered the opportunity to learn and actively reflect on the role of the general care nurse and the application of the nursing process in different contexts of clinical practice.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
The curricular unit is developed in contact hours and in the student's autonomous working time. For the intended objectives, expository, interrogative, role play, case studies and simulation teaching methodologies are used. Theoretical classes are essentially expository and interactive. Theoretical-practical classes are designed to deepen the themes taught with the aid of appropriate didactic material (simulators, models, videos) and for the demonstration, execution of techniques and procedures that will later be developed by students in simulated practices, under guidance and teacher supervision. The continuous assessment regime consists of a written test (90%) and laboratory practice assessments (10%). UFP Pedagogical Regulation applies to all items.
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
Students are invited to be involved in the learning process. Theoretical sessions, where the expository, interrogative and brainstorming method predominates, alternate with theoretical-practical sessions, which additionally include work in small groups, case studies and film viewing. In laboratory practice sessions, the demonstrative method will be used. The student's involvement in the learning process is carried out in order to motivate and promote a more sustainable acquisition of knowledge, skills and competences. With a view to the operationalization of nursing procedures and the acquisition of critical-reflexive attitudes, the demonstrative method was used for the development of manual / psychomotor skills, the role play for the development of communication and diagnostic skills and the panel discussion , in the reflection of the integration of theoretical contents in laboratory practices.
