Seminar Description and Aims
Across Europe, the trend in psychiatric care is from in-patient to outpatient treatment. The seminar will develop a modular concept for technical further and continuous training of nursing staff in the field of outpatient treatment.So far psychiatric patient care has almost continuously been tied to a stationary service such as in a hospital care. However, the new and tested perspective to install care manpower in the ambulatory psychiatric care has yielded in shortening and avoidance of the hospitalization, and also in avoidance of home-stays. This innovation in psychiatric patient care has brought the service into the community and raised the demand for care. The slogan of this innovation is ‘In the Community, With the Community’. This innovation has provoked the need for further qualification of man power in health care in the frame of the standards to be developed at local, regional, national and international levels. Parallel to this activity, the development of new curriculums for psychiatric care training at different levels requires multinational co-operation through sharing experiences.
In the first phase of the project, the fundamentals, demands and work contents of ambulatory psychiatric care activities in three countries will be compared. A joint activity profile, the quality requirements and the developmental needs that come out of them will be defined at this basis.
In the second phase, the definition of qualification needs and the evaluation of prevision forth training practices stay in fore ground. Then, particular development (training) modules will specifically be developed.
In the third phase, the developed modules and the produced teaching material will be tested like the compiled whole curriculum.
Target Group
Nursing personel.
