What will I learn on this module?
This module helps you to further develop and consolidate your knowledge in meeting the needs of, and providing services for, children and young people. It equips you with evidence to care for children and young people who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer. The module allows you to explore beliefs and values about diversity and enables you to challenge behaviours that have a negative impact on the health and well-being of children and young people. A key focus of this module is nursing children and young people with complex psychosocial and mental health needs. Themes such as brain development and the relationship with depression, anxiety and phobias in children and young people is considered. There is opportunity to listen to experts in the field of disordered eating, suicide and self-harm, and listen to the expert by experience narrative. The module ensures that you have knowledge underpinning sexual health and development of children and young people.
Many children face adversity, this module allows you to explore these in more depth, considering adverse childhood events, existing risk and protective factors in children. You learn how children and young people develop resilience and the role of the nurse within this. Young people are also exposed to a variety of risks in society and you will explore the evidence surrounding alcohol, drug misuse and sexual exploitation. The module will require you to think critically about how nurses provide holistic care for children and their families through the application of contemporary evidence based literature.
How will I learn on this module?
Throughout this module, you will be engaged in a variety of learning and teaching approaches. You will learn from experts from practice including service users and practitioners. Web-based resources, and face-to-face in-class sessions underpin the teaching through the ‘flipped classroom’ approach (Bergman & Sam’s, 2012). This approach enables you to engage with technology-enhanced learning, with the provision of links to the web-based resources and other useful materials via Blackboard Ultra and Library resources. There will be a combination of pre-recorded lecture videos and interactive e-learning packages available via Blackboard. Flipping the classroom enables you to engage in both directed and self-directed study outside of formal teaching sessions as preparatory work for facilitated seminars. Engagement with this activity is essential for your active participation in the facilitated sessions.
These sessions will include individual work, group discussion and debate, where you will be encouraged to consider competing perspectives, share opinions and experiences, and develop a greater understanding of holistically caring for children and young people.
