Presentation of the subject

Methodology of Nursing care is a compulsory subject that is carried out during the third term of the first year and that links with the subject Historical and Philosophical Evolution of Care of the Degree in Nursing carried out during the first term of the first year of the Degree in Nursing.

In this subject, students will study the theory and detect the importance of nursing care plans; at the same time, it will begin in the practical applicability of the nursing care process (PAI) through cases that will be presented in various formats, such as through audiovisual capsules.

Through critical thinking and taking into account the importance of fluid communication with patients, they will know how to apply the MYP in day-to-day life in their upcoming practical periods and in their future work. At the same time, it allows an individualized action, either with the application of the different nursing models worked on during the first trimester, or with the use of a standardized language of care. The backbone of the entire subject will be this plan of care, a basic tool that structures the work of a nurse that will be used, both in the learning process during the training in the Degree and in any of the areas where the his future professional work.

In this subject the student will acquire skills that will allow him to develop his thinking and clinical reasoning, choose the nursing model that best suits the current clinical situation of the person, make a complete and individualized nursing assessment taking into account the different nursing models, interpreting the nursing assessment, detecting possible nursing diagnoses arising from the nursing assessment and planning objectives with the respective interventions and activities. At all times the student will be able to evaluate and re-evaluate the whole process taking into account the person as a unique and personal being who lives in a situation of constant change in a specific environment and time, through different clinical cases that are will present.

The student will know different terminology of the nursing language that is currently used in the different areas of care so that he/she can interpret and use it in the process of nursing care, both in the different subjects of the Degree in Nursing and in their development as a future Nursing professional. At the same time, it will be discussed not only the actuality of the Nursing Care Methodology but also where we are going, the professional future.

The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, either towards students or towards teachers. We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer prejudice from others. 

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in this subject is regulated in the Learning Plan. It should be consulted to find out the specific conditions of use.
