Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
- To know and to know how to use nursing taxonomies; - To recognize nursing taxonomies and the nursing process as a students' supervisory tool; - To know the main characteristics of nursing ontology; - To identify the benefits and losses of using minimum data sets; - To identify the main nursing indicators, their usefulness and development / extraction strategies; - To recognize the functions and usefulness of decision support systems.
Syllabus:
1 - Nursing theories and taxonomies a) International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP); b) NANDA International; c) Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC); d) Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). 2 - Nursing ontology 3 - Nursing minimum data sets 4 - The development and extraction of nursing indicators a) Structure indicators b) Process indicators c) Outcome indicators d) Epidemiological indicators 5 - Nursing decision support systems
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
The contents of this discipline are designed to allow the introduction of elementary concepts about nursing information systems. These contents will allow students to acquire knowledge related to the recognition of nursing information systems as a useful tool in the course of the supervisory process.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
The discipline is comprised by contact hours and in student's autonomous working time, and it is organized in the form of theoretical lessons. The teaching-learning strategies that will be used in this discipline are based on the principle of active participation of students centered on stimulating their thought and reflection processes. The acquisition of knowledge will be complemented with consultation of scientific literature, since students will be encouraged to carry out research in order to gather the contents to support the study. The evaluation includes the development of a group work on one of the themes proposed during the lessons and by its oral presentation, whose weight is as follows: development of a written group work - 70%; oral presentation - 30%. For all questions related to teaching methodologies, the Academic Norms of University Fernando Pessoa are applied.
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
In a first phase, the need to analyze and reflect on new concepts implies the use of expository and interrogative methods. In a second phase, the demonstration of examples makes it possible to acquire essential knowledge about nursing information systems. The exemplification of practical cases allows to consolidate knowledge and to practice reflective skills about nursing information systems as potentially useful tools to be used in a supervisory process.
