NURBN3020 Context of Practice 6: Nursing People Living with Chronic Illness

Australia faces the challenge of an increasing prevalence of people living with chronic illness who experience increased complexity and diversity of health care needs. This Course examines the concept of nursing people living with chronic illness as a speciality practice, sensitive to meeting the needs of a diverse multicultural population through evidence-based, person-centred, best practice nursing. The Course will develop knowledge, skills and awareness in the principles and provision of nursing practice for supportive care for people experiencing a chronic illness. Acknowledging the dynamic interplay between age, culture and bio-psychosocial needs of people, this Course will explore differing frameworks for chronic illness. This Course will enable the ability of graduate nurses to relate differing models of care within a holistic framework in the provision of best nursing practice for people experiencing chronic illness.
