More about the project
Complaints from patients who feel that they have not been treated well, that they do not feel seen and not listened to increase. The purpose is to implement and evaluate caritative care in clinical activities and in the teaching of nursing students at the undergraduate and advanced level in the theoretical and practical training and in the application at the clinical training center (KTC). The project is based on 20 years of research on children as visitors / relatives of seriously ill / injured patients, who are cared for in the intensive care unit.
The project has a hermeneutic approach where knowledge and understanding are assumed to entail responsibility for application in practice. The implementation takes place through lectures, reflection seminars, professional supervision and drama pedagogy. In the implementation at the advanced level and in the intensive care unit, a modified version of the learning model MILO is used. Caritative care and a caritative approach permeates the model that includes tools for learning on the basis that caring and learning are parallel phenomena. MILO has been used in the teaching of clinically active nurses and students in the nursing programs and has been applied in clinical practice with a focus on the nurse's caring. An evaluation regarding this is ongoing and of the application of the caritative approach when training at KTC. Implementation of caritative care in the intensive care unit is being planned and the implementation of caritative care in the teaching of specialist nurses in intensive care is ongoing. An instrument for measuring caritative care will be developed.
