Introduction to Nursing Children & Childbearing Families




This module presents a comprehensive exploration of theoretical frameworks and clinical application principles essential for nursing and midwifery practice in the context of children and childbearing families. It delves into the childbearing journey, developmental phases of childhood, and family dynamics, enabling nurses to actively contribute to the preservation and enhancement of family well-being. Learning experiences within this module are designed to enhance your comprehension of the nursing or midwifery role in delivering care throughout the typical childbearing process and childhood. The module is delivered in a blended format, necessitating a significant commitment to independent study through online resources.

Projects


Project One


I was required to respond to short answer questions derived from the self-directed module activities. My responses needed to reflect my understanding of evidence-based nursing care provision for these vulnerable populations. In my responses, I was required to demonstrate an understanding of concepts particularly relevant to the provision of nursing care to children and mothers during the childbearing process, and their families.




 

Project Two


I was required to submit a written assessment focusing on the discussion of a selected topic.
