Maternity and Childcare Nursing
(objectives)
Aim of the Teaching is: • to provide students with knowledge on the principles of physiology about pregnancy, delivery and the post-natal phase, and so will be able to ensure the proper nursing care required for women, babies and families. • to identify signs and symptoms of main pathologies affecting pregnancy, including spontaneous miscarriage, alterations of the delivery phase and to enlarge care to a woman admitted in obstetrics and gynecology ward. • to provide students with knowledge on preventive and diagnostic aspect related to health and illness during the neonatal age, childhood and adolescence. Identify the conditions that require a nurse intervention, students must be able to identify. • to provide students with knowledge on basic notions of obstetrics and obstetric pathology (basic notions of assistance to spontaneous delivery) and basic notions of benign and malignant pathology in gynecology, with particular attention to useful surgical instrumentation for the most common procedures in gynecology and obstetrics. • Identify physical, psychological and social needs and diagnose women’s need for help, integrating theoretical knowledge with practical knowledge to meet them with scientific and technical expertise. • Identify the needs of obstetric-gynaecological assistance that require preventive and curative skills, in specific areas of gynaecology and ultraspecialist obstetrics such as infertility also immunological, metabolic diseases and autoimmune diseases. • Evaluate clinical manifestations related to immediate, intermediate and late physiological and pathological pregnancy in hospitalisation. 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.
