Lecture contents

- Basic philosophy / anthropological concepts / human image of nursing
- The "12 life activities (LA) from the model of life according to Roper, Logan and Tierney (1993; 2009) are used as a teaching content structure. Aspects of concepts of health promotion, transcultural care, basal stimulation® and kinaesthetics are taken into account within the respective LA.
- The content-based analysis of the following life activities must be combined with 1-3 (evidence-based) nursing studies.
- The individual life activities (LA) "Ensuring a safe environment", "Communicating", "Breathing", "Eating and drinking", "Excreting", "Keeping clean and dressing", "Adjusting body temperature", "Moving "," Working and playing "," Feeling and acting as a man / woman "and" Sleeping " are processed according to the following systematics (except LA" Finding meaning / dying "):
a. Meaningfulness:
- norms and values - meaning for humans and their reference system
- self-reflection of likes, habits and behaviors with regard to one’s own and the unfamiliar
- influence factors on the respective LA and their interactions
b. Monitoring aspect:
- behavioral patterns of the respective LA
- impact of deviations on health, well-being and level of development
- perceiving and describing changes
- care-relevant observations of skin and skin attachments as well as of gestures, facial expressions, body posture and cognition. Detecting, documenting and relaying deviations
- Detection and risk assessment of the following phenomena: exsiccosis, contracture, pneumonia, thrombosis, decubitus etc.
- c. Selecting and applying care measures:
- self-care and care dependency as a reciprocal process, dependency care
- Possibilities for safeguarding privacy and personal space, taking into account concepts of honor and shame
- Establish and assess the need for care and derive care measures in all forms and on all levels of care, taking into account health promotion, living environment and nursing research

Example of topic discussion using the following LA:
LA "Moving":
Importance:
> Importance of movement for humans over the entire lifespan
> Own preferences, habits, behaviors

> Assessment of the risk factors using assessment instruments (for example decubitus, falls, contractures, thrombosis, etc.)

Select and apply care offers:
> Health promotion through exercise programs and body therapies
