NURBN3106 Care of People with Chronic Conditions

This unit delves into the complexities of managing chronic conditions, emphasising their profound impact on individuals, groups, and communities in Australia. The unit equips nursing students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to provide high-quality, evidence-based, and person-centred care for people living with chronic conditions from a strengths-based nursing perspective. Students will critically evaluate the multifaceted impact of chronic conditions, exploring how these conditions affect not only the physical health of individuals, but also their psychological well-being, social interactions, and economic status. By understanding these broader impacts, students will appreciate the importance of a holistic approach to care that addresses the diverse needs of individuals, ensuring that care strategies and interventions are tailored to one¿s needs. The unit emphasises the identification and utilisation of an individual¿s strengths and resources available to promote health and well-being. Additionally, the role of interprofessional teams is explored in depth, highlighting how collaboration among healthcare professionals and health care consumers enhances empowerment and outcomes.
