Study Guide

Objective

The student deepens simulation skills and uses internal entrepreneurship to maintain and develop skills in nursing. The student learns the principles of life-long learning and uses the skills before and after simulations. In holistic care, the student simulates in his/ her team and observes skills that are needed in health education and patient counselling. The student follows nursing ethics in nursing situations and is able to document nursing interventions.The student is familiar with the background of patient guidance (patient education/ counselling). The student knows how to plan, implement and evaluate a guidance process in various nursing situations.The student is able to use various methods and written, visual and online materials in patient guidance and practices them in simulated patient situations.
The student practices simulated patient situations also in Finnish, and prepares for clinical training.

Content

In ways of simulations: Ethical principles and professional health education, patient counselling in interaction and co-operation with the nursing team of a patient. The student reflects on his/ her own and others' nursing skills, skills in health education and patient counselling. The student uses effective education and health promotion methods and is able to use evidence-based knowledge while practicing in simulated patient situations. The students knows the concepts of learning, guidance and teaching processes of a patient and his/ her next-of-kin. The student uses the health technology and virtual services in patient guidance.
