Gerontological Nursing

Adult, Gerontological, and Family Nursing

Nursing and health-promoting support of older adults who are frail, senile, or have other chronic diseases, and their families, are explored. In the master’s course, students learn highly sophisticated research methods based on sound theories, and in the advanced practical course, students obtain superior practical skills in geriatric nursing care. In the doctoral course, students perform literature reviews and analysis of theories, and after reviewing research methodologies and statistical data handling, they engage in preliminary research that can be incorporated into their dissertation. For both courses, students can undergo some of the training at universities in Europe, America, and Australia if they wish to.
