Norway The Programme aims to equip nursing students at all levels with the necessary skills and understanding to support and facilitate health care for migrant and refugee populations across a rapidly changing Europe. The Programme focuses on the adverse health effects of ethnic minority groups of inequalities, marginalisation and exclusion.
Reference is given to migration and the existing refugee situation.
It brings together partners experienced in working with such groups but in very different settings and with very different needs. Within concepts of Transcultural Nursing, integral socio-political issues are critically explored, leading to increased insight of the cultural similarities and differences, which affect health within the current European context. The Programme aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of undergraduate and postgraduate nursing students thus increasing their ability to lead and influence change in this area of their practice. Demonstrate increased knowledge of changing identities within Europe and examine the impact of cultural transition on health. Demonstrate deepened sensitivity of the psychosocial issues fundamentally affecting the health behaviours and well being of ethnic minority groups and refugees.
