Psychiatric Health Care and Nursing

At a glance

The academic expert program Psychiatric Health Care and Nursing enables nurses in the higher service to provide nursing care to neurologically, psychologically and mentally impaired people of all ages and in different life situations. In addition to their understanding of their professional role and their own mental hygiene, graduates reflect on closeness and distance and are thus able to differentiate themselves in the professional setting of psychiatric health and nursing care. They also contribute to the destigmatization of psychiatric illness in society, both on an individual and societal level. All nurses in the higher service for health care and nursing who work in the specialist area of psychiatric health care and nursing or aspire to do so must complete this specialization in accordance with GuKG §17. In addition, this study program in continuing education offers the opportunity to expand and substantiate nursing science knowledge with reference to the special field of psychiatric health care and nursing.
