Let's goUniversità Campus Bio-Medico di Roma The new master's degree course in Nursing and Midwifery Sciences will include a day of discussion on the profession in the presence of institutional leaders, representatives of professional organizations and key figures in university education.
Rome, 12 September 2024 - We have asked the institutions for structural change and reflection, and we are in the final stages of a major collaborative effort with the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR). This will include, after a bachelor's degree, the option to pursue three master's degrees with a clinical specialization, enabling new career paths. We are therefore defining three of these: community care (family and community nurses), emergency care (both hospital and community-based), and neonatal and pediatric care. We will then restructure them financially and legally..
On the study day "Innovation in Nursing Education and Opportunities in Healthcare" organized today by theUniversità Campus Bio-Medico di Roma, is the president of the National Federation of Nursing Professions (FNOPI) Barbara Mangiacavalli To summarize the university's strategic role in renewing the nursing profession, which is currently experiencing a crisis in Italy that threatens the proper functioning of the national health system.
An aspect on which the world of university education agrees, as underlined by the professor Maria Grazia De Marinis, president of the Bachelor's Degree in Nursing and the Master's Degree in Nursing and Midwifery Sciences of theUniversità Campus Bio-Medico di Roma: We believe that nursing education must move toward greater specialization, deepening clinical, organizational, pedagogical, and research skills related to health issues that primarily affect the elderly, chronically ill, and patients at the end of life. Only in this way can the role of the nurse take on greater significance and see the role it already plays in patient care and management recognized.
More clinical skills, therefore, in degree courses To make nurses' work more effective for patients, offering a more qualified contribution in their daily collaboration with doctors, psychologists, bioethicists, and physiotherapists. The goal is to enhance patient well-being throughout the various phases of treatment and care.
In this sense, the new Master's Degree in Nursing and Midwifery Sciences ofUniversità Campus Bio-Medico di Roma, starting in the 2024-25 academic year, focuses on multidisciplinarity and the cross-fertilization of knowledge for an integrated education that will allow students to naturally train alongside doctors, healthcare professionals, and engineers, thanks to the opportunity to interact directly in the hospital facilities made available by the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Campus Bio-Medico.
Today in Italy there are 6,4 nurses per thousand inhabitants against a European average of 9,5 (4,1 doctors, versus the OECD average of 3,7); currently, there is a shortage of 65-70 nurses, a number that could reach 90 if the reform of local healthcare were to be fully implemented. Furthermore, according to the Court of Auditors, 100 nurses will retire within the next 10 years, and already today, 83 are between 50 and 54 and 100 are between 55 and 65 (source: Il Sole24Ore);
