Module summary

You will discuss the attitudes, values and biopsychosocial-spiritual conditions that promote and restrict health and wellbeing for people with long-term conditions and the impact these have on their quality of life. You will critically appraise the influence culture and diversity have on health and well-being and the impact these have on quality of life.

Syllabus

This is an integrated module that combines 4 strands central to nursing practice: professional practice; applied practice; the biopsychosocial-spiritual model of health and well-being; and evidence-based practice. Students will continue to develop their understanding of key theories within these strands and their application to the health of adults and their families. The promotion, protection and improvement of health needs will be expanded upon.

Professional Practice:
- Ethics: principles -autonomy, beneficence (paternalism), benevolence, non-maleficence and justice including duty of care applied to access to health services and choices of individuals
- Relevant policy, guidelines and legislation
- Anti-discriminatory and culturally sensitive practice
- Gender, culture, diversity and hard to reach groups in relation to promoting health and wellbeing

Applied Practice:
- Interpersonal and communication strategies (including motivational, solution-focused, cognitive and behavioural and asset- based
interventions)
- Health needs assessment and health promotion models
- Law in relation to medicines management and long-term conditions (including controlled drugs, PGD's and self-administration of medications).
- Sustaining behaviour change and developing resilience in communities (Including smoking, diet, exercise, addiction, obesity, breast feeding, antibiotic resistance, sexual health)
- Clinical skills relevant to field and area of practice

Biopsychosocial-spiritual Model of Health and Wellbeing:
- Biological - pathophysiology of body systems relevant to individuals with long term health conditions and co-morbidities
- Psychological - understanding health related behaviour models, psychological demands of acute and long-term illness and co-morbidities, ill health behaviour.
- Social - social structure of disability, culture and wellbeing, self-help, stress management. Structures of care systems e.g. integrated healthcare systems, introduction to international care systems
- Spiritual - Maslow's hierarchy

Evidence Based practice:
- Epidemiology
- Qualitative research designs (case study, ethnography)
- Quantitative research designs (including cohort studies, case control studies)
- Knowledge integration using different kinds of evidence, (including empirical research, patient experience and narrative, guidelines)

Mental Health:

- Diversity and inequality in mental health: Gender, sexuality and culture
- Theory of mental health: Interpersonal models of internal experience and expressed behaviour
- Stages of a therapeutic relationship (from first contact to ending)

Students will be expected to undertake pre-reading and come to sessions, both theoretical and practical, prepared to apply their knowledge to a variety of different scenarios and discussions.

Opportunities for Formative Feedback

Student progress is monitored according to attendance at timetabled teaching, by participation in tutorials and by individual supervisors during the period of group and individual supervision.
