Background

The purpose of this educational portfolio is to enable you to identify and achieve the prescribed learning outcomes of this module, ADN08118 Essential Theory and Skills for Adult Health Practice (3B).

 

Learning Outcomes

The learning outcomes are as follows:

LO 1 – Explore the impact that an alteration in health and well-being can have on adults across the lifespan.

LO2 – Utilise the research and evidence base to develop the knowledge and skills required to assess, interpret and respond to alterations in health and wellbeing in adults.

LO3 – Examine the local, national and international guidelines that inform healthcare provision for adults with long-term alternation in health status.

LO4 – Develop knowledge and understanding of compassionate communication techniques that establish effective communication with adults with an alteration in health status.

LO5 – Consider the benefits and scope of working co-productively with individuals with an alteration in health status and their families/carers across the lifespan within health and social care settings.

 

You will be required to provide evidence of achievement for each learning outcome within your portfolio.

 

What is an educational portfolio?

“An educational portfolio attempts to connect and relate the student’s learning experiences to professional practice and competencies. An educational portfolio may contain a collection of items that demonstrate personal reflections, skills, knowledge and accomplishments as evidence of a student’s progress and learning.” (Hill, 2014)

 

Educational portfolios are grounded in problem-based learning (Kunkle, 2009). This approach allows students to search and discover while they are learning. Students learn by active questioning, discussions, problem solving and critical thinking. Students search out information and assess its relevance, leading to the use of reflection.

 

 

Evidence of Achievement of Learning Outcomes

Your portfolio requires to be written in an academic style at Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) Level 8.

Student services and the library also provide support around academic writing.

 

Academic Evidence

You must produce academic evidence within your portfolio of your achievement of the learning outcomes for this module. This should include references of nursing and health related books and journals along with reports, publications and websites from high quality, reliable sources.

 

Completing your Portfolio

To complete your portfolio you MUST use this template. In order to successfully populate your portfolio with evidence you will need to engage with the module content on Moodleandattend the lectures, tutorials and clinical skills.

 

Once completed, your portfolio will be submitted electronically via Turnitin. Refer to Moodle for guidance on submission of your portfolio via Turnitin (details will also be covered in tutorials).

Learning Portfolio Assessment

Introduction

Briefly introduce your allocatedlong-term condition. This should include a definition of what a long-term condition is and an explanation of your allocated condition, along with a brief overview of its epidemiology and aetiology.

In addition, outline how you searched for academic evidence to support this learning portfolio. A search strategy describing the relevant search terms you used, the research databases you searched and the number of results you obtained should be provided using a table format.

Portfolio Entry 1

Learning Outcome 1 will be achieved by describing the pathophysiology associated with your allocated long-term condition, supported by relevant academic literature.

You must demonstrate your ability to understand healthy human anatomy and physiology and the changes that occur when your allocated condition arises. This should include describing the changes that occur at the 1) cellular, 2) tissue/organ and 3) body system level in relation to your allocated condition. The main symptoms produced because of these changes should be briefly summarised. This learning entry must be evidence based using appropriate academic sources.

You must demonstrate your ability to understand the role of the nurse duringone of the following stages of the patient journey, in relation to your allocated long-term condition:

1) assessment and diagnosis

Portfolio Entry 3

Learning Outcome 4 will be addressed by writing a reflective account using Gibbs (1988) Reflective Model.A difficult conversation observed in clinical practice or in the Simulation and Clinical Skills Centre must be described and reflected upon using Gibbs (1988) Reflective Model. This should focus on the communication skills used by a member of the multi-disciplinary teamto break bad newsto a patient and/or family/carer in onescenario. For exampletransitions of care, treatment changes or loss and bereavement.This reflective account should be written in the 1^st person.

Gibbs (1988) Reflective Model

 

Reflection allows you to think about the things you have seen and done and to consider whether you were satisfied with your performance or whether you would handle the situation differently in the future.In order to complete the reflection element of your portfolioplease use Gibbs reflective model (1988) below to structure your reflective account.
