Australia faces the challenge of an ageing population and increasing prevalence of people living with chronic health conditions, and who experience increased complexity and diversity of health care needs. In this course, students will be immersed in examining the concept of nursing people living with chronic conditions, across the lifespan, while maintaining sensitivity to meeting the needs of a culturally and linguistically diverse population and applying evidence-informed, person-centred nursing care. In this course, students will develop advanced knowledge and skills in relation to the principles and provision of nursing responses for supportive in-place care for people living with chronic illness and disease. Acknowledging the dynamic interplay between age, culture and the bio-psychosocial needs of people from diverse backgrounds, this course will enable students to explore a range of frameworks relating to living with and managing chronic conditions. The course will also enable students to relate differing models of person-centred and in-home care within a holistic framework to the provision of best-practice nursing for people experiencing chronic conditions.
