Theoretical Knowledge and Practical Skills to Improve the Health of Mothers and Newborns in Pregnancy and Childbirth Complications
- ASR2B9
Majority of the ledtures in this course will be on-line. Recorded material will be available on our learning platform Canvas, and Zoom will be used for digital meetings and seminars.
In this course, students study evidence-based maternal and newborn care from a global and national perspective. Relevant policies in this subject are studied, with a focus on managing emergency complications affecting women and newborns. Students analyse sexual and reproductive perinatal health and rights from an economic and sociocultural perspective as well as from the perspective of gender, the climate and sustainability. There will be discussions on the use of pedagogy that is relevant to the subject and on the importance of research for evidence-based care and leadership.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of the course, students will be able to:
- describe and explain central terms relating to sexual and reproductive health from a global and national perspective,
- analyse the importance of comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights in the promotion of health, regarding socioeconomic, cultural and gender perspectives,
- identify, evaluate and manage emergency conditions and complications during pregnancy and childbirth for both women and newborns,
- apply evidence-based care methods, demonstrate an ability to apply relevant pedagogical methods and advocate for integrating evidence into clinical practice.
We hope you engage in inspiring, interesting, and challenging discussions with your teachers and fellow students. As with all courses at Dalarna University, this course has a strong foundation in theory and research.
An important feature in the design of the course is that it connects theory with practice
