Learning outcomes
Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.
On completion of this unit, students should be able to:
demonstrate clinical judgement and a capacity to engage and communicate empathically with individuals and groups experiencing mental health related problems across the lifespan
synthesise complex data to provide clinically effective, recovery focused and trauma informed mental health nursing care
effectively undertake assessment, planning, interventions and evaluation of care using advanced clinical judgement with people who frequently access acute mental health services
apply concepts, theories and foundational skills in helping people who are experiencing emotional distress and/or behavioural disturbances
