This theoretical course explores the many factors that shape the health and wellness of individual clients, families and communities. The determinants of health are discussed, and relevant evidence, commissioned reports and health-care policies are analyzed. Students study the concepts of family-centered care, cultural competence and advanced communication techniques to develop a practice approach that is congruent within the client’s needs and goals, ways of living and expected outcomes of care. Respect for the uniqueness and rights of each client are fundamental principles that are threaded throughout each topic in this course. There will be a focus on mental health supports, palliative care, MAID regulations and trauma informed care. Extended time and attention is given to developing holistic nursing care strategies for various populations. This course is part of the IEN Education Pathway Certificate.
