Learning objectives
The course aims to develop knowledge and understanding of the operating mechanisms are in a health care system and the many variables that influence the developments. The course will also provide students with the tools to understand and analyze healthcare organizations, their various components and their processes and the basic concepts of research methodology.
It will also allow the student to know and understand the essentials of assistance and management in emergency obstetric care.
Another key issue becomes the ability to apply knowledge and understanding during simulations.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of Italian healthcare setting
Knowledge of the basic aspects of research methodology.
Course unit content
The course aims to provide students with awareness of the cultural and organizational framework and political context, both at the macro level of the health system, which at the micro level of health care organization in which to carry out their professional practice. They will learn the main research methodologies, with particular reference to the quantitative and qualitative research. Following we will be provided to the students the bases to interpret and evaluate a scientific paper. In the second part of the course, students will be guided in the development of appropriate research designs.
In addition the course will provide students with the treatment of various pathologies that may arise in labor and complicate itself with in the delivery room simulations.
