Primary Health Care Nursing

part-time

 

Primary Health Care Nursing

Internationally, the higher health care and nursing services in primary care facilities has played an important role for years. In Austria, this field is now to be expanded, thereby facilitating access to health services and help with health issues through primary care facilities. In these facilities, centrally anchored core teams consisting of the higher health care and nursing services, primary care physicians and ordination assistants work closely together. It is planned to also house other health and social professions in such institutions.

As a Primary Health Care Nurse, you will play an essential role in all areas of disease prevention in the primary care facility. Your main tasks include identifying and advising on lifestyle and living environment-associated risks, long-term care of chronically ill and multimorbid patients as well as preventive home visits.

You will also take preventive measures for geriatric health risks, help identify health resources and support individuals, groups and families in their efforts to improve health.

    What we offer you

    FH Campus Wien is now the largest university of applied sciences for nursing and health care sciences in Austria. As the first university of applied sciences in Austria, we started the Bachelor’s Degree Program in Health Care and Nursing more than 10 years ago and have continuously built up a large network in the health sector. Our students benefit from this extensive network and from our many years of teaching expertise. Our partners also include the University of Vienna, with whom we have a teaching network.

    Further key educational partners are the Vienna Health Association, the Vinzenz Group and the Barmherzigen Brüder, with whom we cooperate to provide the Bachelor’s Degree Program in Health Care and Nursing. The academic expert program in Health Care and Nursing, Practice Mentoring offers further training for a deeper link between nursing research and practice and serves as a basis for further career steps. With the Master’s Courses in Advanced Nursing Practice, Advanced Nursing Education and Advanced Nursing Counseling, we cover a broad spectrum of higher qualifications for the higher health care and nursing services.

    In addition to teaching, we are also involved in research and development. R&D projects in the area of the Competence Center for Applied Nursing Research provide you the opportunity to gain practical experience in application-oriented research.


    During the studies

    As a primary health care nurse, you take on an independent role in disease management, for example in wound management. You can draw on evidence-based nursing knowledge and participate in the treatment process for those afflicted with acute and chronic wounds.

    In addition, health promotion and prevention play an important role as a contribution to strengthening the health literacy of patients and clients. The focus is on the entire life cycle from childhood to old age. For target group-oriented preparation of counseling measures and communication, you will explore different counseling concepts and communication techniques, such as principles for professional conversation.

    Via numerous interfaces, you will coordinate the primary care of people across various sectors including pharmacies, social insurance, medical practices and nursing facilities, and organize counseling for nursing and health-related issues.

    In addition, you will acquire knowledge of epidemiological monitoring and data analysis in the context of health research, health statistics and epidemiology. The focus is on:

    • Exploring research work on practice-relevant issues and applying them after critical assessment.
    • Acquiring knowledge of qualitative and quantitative research methods for participation in data collection and data evaluation processes
    • Carrying out independent surveys on the need for forms of intervention, developing target group-specific measures and evaluating their effectiveness.
