NUR (0302) 465 - Alterations In Holistic Integrity Managed in the Community

Credits: 6

Using a holistic approach, this course focuses on the study of community-based nursing care of individuals, families, aggregates, and people in community settings as part of the world confronted by common health problems. Epidemiology, in relationship to community and world settings and as a research instrument useful to all health workers, is a significant part of this course. Relationships of individuals in families and groups and as part of local and world communities are stressed. Emphasis will be placed on the client at home within the context of the family and the community. Within a holistic framework, students will acquire a greater understanding of the dynamics operating in families, groups and communities; students will also develop skills in the assessment and diagnosis of client health. Nursing care will include cultural, spiritual, psychosocial, economic, and biological aspects related to the client, whether they are families, groups, or communities.
