Content

All those contents related to the planning and development of the nursing care process as a scientific methodology and problem solving, under the framework of a conceptual nursing model, in accordance with the functional patterns and diagnostics of nursing, in order to develop the role of collaboration and the autonomous nursing role, recognizing the complexity of the cares of the person treated and family.

Methodology

The methodology of this subject is based on clinical practice mainly through the planning, execution and evaluation of nursing care, based on comprehensive health care, through multiprofessional cooperation, the integration of processes and the continuity of care.

Likewise, the attendance to the practices will be complemented by the presentation and discussion of cases in the sessions of seminars. The purpose of these is to encourage the reflective practice of the situations that arise in the complexity of the healthcare context and the learning that is derived from this reflection.

The seminars will be held in small groups of students under the supervision of a teacher, and nursing methodology will be used as a basic tool for analysis and problem-solving. The seminars will last for 3 hours and the scheduled days will be held during the clinical practice period. (See the calendar).

IMPORTANT: These hours can be modified according to the teacher. In the event that a student has to attend the seminar a day that does not have a clinical practice, he can reorder his hours so that the week complies with all the hours as the rest of his classmates.

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Assessment

Within the Nursing Degree curriculum, the clinical placements are part of the External Practice subject. The skills and learning outcomes of this External Practice subject will be worked on and evaluated throughout the different placements depending on the context and area where each of them is developed. Throughout the development of the clinical placement periods from 2nd to 4th year, the acquisition of all the clinical practice skills and competencies of the nursing degree will be ensured. 

The final assessment of the subject corresponds to the sum of the note of the clinical practices and the obtained one in the discussion of cases in the sessions of seminar.

Composition of the final note:

60% of the note corresponds to clinical practice

40% of the note corresponds to the discussion of cases in the development of the seminars and the contribution of scientific evidence.

To pass the subject, clinical practices and seminars must be approved with a minimum grade of 5.

Clinical practices

Continuous and formative evaluation throughout the period: during the middle of the period the responsible professor together with the nurse will summarize the information obtained so far and will discuss it with the student. In this formative evaluation, the level of achievement of the objectives set, the strengths to be emphasized and the weaknesses to be improved with the relevant recommendations will be worked on. In the same way, the student will do their self-evaluation and will discuss it with the teacher.

Final evaluation: at the end of the period of clinical practice, the nurse will make the student's assessment in writing through the corresponding assessment document, as well as the feedback.
