OBSTETRICAL-GYNECOLOGICAL NURSING SCIENCES 5
(objectives)
The course consists of a part of research methodology and a part of obstetric emergencies. On one hand the module aims to promote knowledge and basic skills for the conception, design and implementation of research activities applied to professional practice. Learning will take place through the implementation of cross-sectional studies that involve the development of research protocols and questionnaires, the analysis of data using statistical software (Epi Info® - CDC) and the drafting of short reports. On the other hand, students will be able to recognize signs, symptoms and evolution related to the main obstetric pathology and emergency. Moreover, the student will be able to recognize the first-line care, in order to solve or contain emergencies and the midwifery care in case of pathology in pregnancy.
