The course is divided into individual modules, which impart the knowledge-based collection and identification of the individual care requirements, the planning and implementation of care based on scientific findings and individual case comprehension, the organisation and design and management of care processes as well as overarching targeted interventions, especially nursing, communicative, psychosocial and ethical expertise. Furthermore, the study is divided into lectures which scientifically qualify the students for the many responsibilities of nursing support and introduce application-oriented working methods into the essential social, natural and behavioural science reference disciplines of care (medicine, psychology, sociology, education, law and politics). Students get a background understanding of the social and healthcare system and their political governance, gain scientific expertise to support applied care research, and basic knowledge of health-related case and process management. The curriculum is taught in different locations. During the semester, the lectures will be held at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences two or three days a week in the Faculty of Economic and Social Affairs. In addition, further theoretical lessons are regularly held at the Albertinen-Schule of Albertina-Diakoniewerk eV and at the University of the Academy of the University Hospital Hamburg Eppendorf. The practical training studies and the practical training take place in the health facilities of Albertinen-Diakoniewerk eV Hamburg or the University Hospital Hamburg Eppendorf and in cooperating healthcare institutions outside lecture time.
Graduates are prepared in giving professional care in partial inpatient (day-care), inpatient and outpatient healthcare facilities. The qualification profile of the course is broad, allowing for flexible entry into the profession, according to students’ individual interests. Graduates are qualified to identify care needs and provide nursing care services to people of all ages, from infants to the elderly. Students are specifically prepared to systematically pursue different nursing directions, which include health-promoting, preventive, therapeutic, rehabilitative, palliative tasks as well as dignified end-of-life care. As an academically trained nurse, graduates have the responsibility to purposefully guide less skilled nurses, also to include lay caregivers and caregiving relatives in the care process, and to monitor their actions. Nursing work is now performed in cooperation with many other health professions, in close cooperation with, among others, doctors, physiotherapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists and psychotherapists. Students learn how to oversee in performance processes in healthcare and to control, coordinate and monitor them on a case-related basis.
- General higher education entrance qualification or advanced technical college certificate for working people in accordance with § 38 of the Hamburg Higher Education Law.
Proof of a training contract with one of the cooperating training providers (currently the Albertinen-Diakoniewerk eV Hamburg, the Universitätsklinikum Hamburg Eppendorf or the Altonaer Kinderkrankenhaus Hamburg) is required for admission to the course. Applications for a training place for generalised nursing care or generalised healthcare and child nursing care should be addressed directly to the cooperation partners (Albertinen-Schule, Universitäre Bildungsakademie or Altonaer-Kinderkrankenhaus Hamburg).
