Subject area
Nursing science with a specialization in anaesthesia care.
Subject area description
In the discipline of nursing, the knowledge about health and living a good life despite the presence of illness and/or disability
is developed, as well as the knowledge of a peaceful and dignified passing. Nursing is based on needs and problems related
to health and ill health in daily life, but also on people's resources and ability to deal with problems. In nursing, it is not only ill
health/illness/disability per se, but people's reactions and interpretation of their illness that are in focus. A central aspect in
nursing is the close relationship between the nurse, the patient and the relatives.
