  Further information for students

  Terveydenhuollossa sattuu vuosittain tuhansia läheltä piti -tilanteita, jotka heikentävät potilasturvallisuutta, vaikuttavat hoitohenkilökunnan työhyvinvointiin ja lisäävät terveydenhuollon kustannuksia. Usein virheiden taustalla ajatellaan olevan inhimillinen tekijä, kuten väsymys, nälkä, kiire, resurssit, asenne tai kliiniset taidot. Opintojakson tavoite: Opiskelija oppii havainnoimaan inhimillisiä tekijöitä joiden myötävaikutuksella virheet hoitotyössä tapahtuvat. Opintojakso lisää opiskelijan osaamista kliinisessä päätöksenteossa sekä hoitotyön etiikassa. Opintojakson tavoitteena on vaikuttaa opiskelijan omiin asenteisiin ja siihen, että opiskelija oppii reflektoimaan omaa toimintaansa, sekä miettimään toimintamalleja, joiden avulla virheitä hoitotyössä voidaan välttää. Lisäksi opiskelija saa rohkeutta tuoda esiin hoitotyössä tapahtuvia virheitä ja hän saa työkaluja virheiden käsittelemiseen. Omaa toimintaa kehittämällä on mahdollista luoda turvallisempi hoitotyön ympäristö potilaille, läheisille ja hoitohenkilökunnalle. Opintojakso on tarkoitettu 2.-4. lukuvuoden opiskelijoille sekä hoitotyön ammattilaisille. (not translated)

• Mentoring programme MENTO2-3002 25.10.2019-25.04.2020  2 credits  (VVO) +-
  Learning outcomes of the course

  The aim of the mentoring program is to support graduating students in their transition from school to working life. A mentor is searched to fit the student's needs and desires. E.g. if a student is interested in leadership, a mentor is searched among people in supervisory positions. For a student who is interested in the banking sector, a mentor searched among banking professionals etc. If the student’s interests and needs are not clear, they will get an experienced mentor to get a clearer picture of their own field.
  Students will get their own mentor who has at least 3 years of work experience. Through the mentoring program, the student can grow their working life network. The student can ask their mentor about work, job searching, writing a CV, career, education opportunities etc.

  Course contents

  The idea of the mentoring is old and simple; a more experienced person shares expertise and knowledge to a less experienced person. Mentoring is talking between the mentor and the student: encouraging and sharing experiences. Student can ask their mentor about working life, job searching, writing a CV, career, education opportunities etc. Mentors can tell about their own experiences and success, but also about the possible setbacks. The student gets an experienced conversational partner and has the right to ask, wonder and think about e.g. uncertainties related to working life.
  Mentoring is pair work supported by three common meetings and smaller meetings. The purpose of the meetings is to network with other participants as well as share experiences and ideas with other mentor partners.
