Syllabus
Course Objectives
Premise
Pain and suffering are frequent and complex problems that nursing care is facing and they are posing a difficult challenge for all healthcare professionals. However, although there is knowledge and resources to improve the quality of life of people suffering from pain, resistance to opioid use and underestimating pain emerge as the main obstacles to its control. Likewise, suffering is a permanent object of the care relationship, but it is trivialized and neglected. Its understanding could instead constitute the starting point for global assistance and relational and educational work, capable of giving meaning to this experience and activating the health resources of patients and families until the end of life, particularly in home nursing care.
Goals
The educational path aims to promote understanding:
- the field and research content specific to nursing;
- pain derived from care delivery
- the subjective experience of patients suffering from chronic oncological pain and undergoing chemotherapy and opioid treatments;
-of relational and educational work with the family aimed at improving the skills to cope effectively with pain
- the quantitative research process;
- Evidences and their use in nursing practice with respect to pain;
- research results to support evidence-based clinical practice in the field of oncology care
- the processes of transferring research results to nursing practice.

Course Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of the scientific method
Basic knowledge of IT and the English language
Basic knowledge of IT and the English language
Teaching Methods
The teaching is structured in six training modules, favors a methodology aimed at mobilizing students' experiences and knowledge, their ability to question treatments and promote development based on the effectiveness and understanding of the experience of patients and their families.
ACTIVE LEARNING
Group work to be carried out at your office.
The paper must be sent to the teachers on a date that will be indicated and presented in the plenary session during the last meeting.
Students, in groups of 10, will proceed to:
- Choice of an Article among those proposed by the Teachers (Qualitative or Quantitative Research Articles)
MANDATE:
After reading the article:
1. Report the type of article
2. Identify the Problem (for quantitative research) or the Situation or Phenomenon (for qualitative research)
3. Describe the implications for nursing care.
The documents produced (they must contain the names of the students/members of the working group and the training site) will be sent (in electronic format) to the Teachers at the following email addresses:

Assessment Methods
The training evaluation is continuous and final and includes the presentation of a group paper (in the manner described below) to which 1 point is assigned, and a written test in the form of tests with multiple choice questions and the analysis of abstracts of a qualitative and quantitative scientific article.
Texts
Lecture notes: they are fundamental and allow a better understanding and contextualization of the research presented in nursing competence.

Sixth module
Within the "Applied Nursing Research" training course, teachers consider it useful to raise students' awareness of the use of scientific literature and to promote a culture of nursing care based on evidence of efficacy/scientific evidence (EBN – EBP), and on the results that come from qualitative research. Students from the research consultation are involved in a process of reading and reflection. This is followed by a presentation of the group work in plenary meeting, concerning the material produced by the students in the various groups during the exercise carried out during the course of Module 5, accompanied by observations and analyses guided by the teachers.

Within the "Applied Nursing Research" training course, teachers consider it useful to raise students' awareness of the use of scientific literature and to promote a culture of nursing care based on evidence of efficacy/scientific evidence (EBN – EBP), and on the results that come from qualitative research. Students from the research consultation are involved in a process of reading and reflection. This is followed by a presentation of the group work in plenary meeting, concerning the material produced by the students in the various groups during the exercise carried out during the course of Module 5, accompanied by observations and analyses guided by the teachers.
