The course aims for students to acquire extended knowledge and skills which are integrated in the subjects of Elderly Care/Home Care and Primary Care, with a specialisation in evidence-based nursing of people of different ages who have difficulties protecting their own dignity, integrity, and autonomy.

Upon completion of the course, students are expected to be able to:
1 independently and in cooperation with the patient and his or her relatives apply all phases of the care process in the nursing of the patient in different contexts
2 independently carry out care conversations and reflect upon their significance
3 identify and analyse ethical problems in nursing in relation to a holistic view on a human being, and motivate and suggest alternative nursing efforts to protect a person’s dignity, integrity, and autonomy
4 motivate and apply nursing efforts in accordance with relevant regulations
5 plan for palliative care and nursing on the basis of an analysis of the patient’s experiences, needs, and symptoms
6 exhibit self-knowledge and a professional approach towards patients, relatives, and co-workers, and prove that they are able to identify their own need for more knowledge and qualifications

Specific requirements
A passing grade for all first- and second-year courses in the Nursing Programme at Mälardalen University, or the equivalent.
Examination
Assignment (INL1), 1 credits, written report and presentation, active participation in seminars focused on learning objectives 7-8 and 10. Health Care Education. Marks Pass (G).
Completed clinical practice (PRA1), 11.5 credits, within Elderly Care/Home Care and Primary Care, and active participation in seminars including presentations of study tasks focused on learning objectives 1-16. Marks Pass (G).
Seminar (SEM1), 0.5 credits, presentation and active participation in seminars focused on learning objectives 11-13. Medical Science. Marks Pass (G).
Written exam (TEN1), 2 credits, individual written exam focused on the learning objectives 2-5 and 15. Caring Sciences. Marks Pass (G).
For PRA1 there are limited opportunities for examination. For clinical practice where there is a limited number of trainee posts, only one re-exam opportunity/one replacement is offered, unless there are special reasons. (See also Rules and regulations for examinations in first- and second-cycle education at Mälardalen University, 25 March 2013)
A student who is found obviously unfitting for the education programme at the workplace where the clinical practice is done can be failed before the course/course component is completed. This also applies if Mälardalen University finds out in other ways that there are special reasons for terminating the course of study.
Rules and regulations for examination
A student who has a certificate from MDU regarding a disability has the opportunity to submit a request for supportive measures during written examinations or other forms of examination, in accordance with the Rules and Regulations for Examinations at First-cycle and Second-cycle Level at Mälardalen University (2020/1655). It is the examiner who takes decisions on any supportive measures, based on what kind of certificate is issued, and in that case which measures are to be applied.
Suspicions of attempting to deceive in examinations (cheating) are reported to the Vice-Chancellor, in accordance with the Higher Education Ordinance, and are examined by the University’s Disciplinary Board. If the Disciplinary Board considers the student to be guilty of a disciplinary offence, the Board will take a decision on disciplinary action, which will be a warning or suspension.
