Carry out assistance planned according to the adoption of guidelines verified and verifiable on the basis of scientific evidence (ebm/ebc) • Demonstrate professional and decision-making skills in designing and implementing health and sex education interventions for women, couples and communities. • Demonstrate the ability to design, implement and evaluate staff training measures and to contribute directly to training and updating on their own professional profile • to provide students with knowledge on nursing assistance to the newborn and educational/relational skills to the family.
