Course description

This course introduces students to the psychosocial concepts of health, wellness and illness across the lifespan and the nurse's role in wellness promotion and illness prevention. Stages of the lifespan trajectory are introduced using a variety of theoretical frameworks that underpin transition, adaptation and resilience across the human lifespan. Students will identify how biopsychosocial and cultural factors influence lifespan development and how values, beliefs and attitudes affect perceptions of health and illness behaviours.
