    • Collaborating with healthcare team towards Patient Safety: Teamwork and Communication

      Nurses work with the healthcare team and partner with patients and their families for optimum care. During your rotations, you are expected and encouraged to collaborate with other nurses, physicians, pharmacists, therapists, and other auxiliary staff. This collaboration entails teamwork behaviors that promote professional autonomy while working within complement to a multi-disciplinary team. Likewise, timely and accurate communication is essential to advocate for patients and promote safe care. This session underscores teamwork and communication strategies that will aid you in your clinical rotation.

      Learning Outcomes

      1. Apply concepts of Patient Safety in planning for nursing care.
      2. Plan for mechanisms to collaborate with the client, family, and health team members in implementing the plan of care.
      3. Practice effective communication techniques for patient safety, teamwork, and collaboration.
      4. Recognize the need for lifelong learning in improving nursing practice.
      5. Appreciate nursing care as a venue for service and learning.
      6. Value responsible citizenship, love of country, and pride in being a Filipino.

    • Spiritual & Psychosocial Issues in Care

      Nurses spend the most time with patients at the bedside. This places us in a key position to identify and address the psychosocial and spiritual needs of patients and their families. Moreover, although our patients' spiritual and psychosocial needs are not as easily detectable compared to physiologic parameters, addressing these needs is equally important.

      Learning Outcomes

      1. Discuss bio-behavioral interventions for holistic care.
      2. Recognize the need for lifelong learning in improving nursing practice.
      3. Appreciate nursing care as a venue for service and learning.
      4. Value responsible citizenship, love of country, and pride in being a Filipino.

    • Gender Sensitivity and Issues in Sexuality

      Gender and gender-based differences are important health determinants. Beyond physiologic differences, a person’s gender and their access to healthcare services are shaped by the societal norms, culture, socioeconomic, and political landscape. Due to these variations, gender inequalities predispose individuals and groups to health risks and poorer health outcomes.

      Learning Outcomes

      1. Explain Gender and its related concepts
      2. Explain the effects of gender discrimination on the right to exist, on health, and especially on reproductive health
      3. Appraise health indicators from a gender perspective.
      4. Show a respectful attitude towards gender and gender equity.
      5. Provide reproductive health services – at all levels of health service – by considering gender and gender equity
      6. Recognize the need for lifelong learning in improving nursing practice.
      7. Appreciate nursing care as a venue for service and learning.
      8. Value responsible citizenship, love of country, and pride in being a Filipino.
