Active methodology focused on the master's student's learning process using active and participatory strategies using research, reflection, autonomous work and demonstration.
They will be developed through T (expository) and TP sessions where readings, analyzes and discussion of documents relating to the practice of care will be carried out in terms of contraceptive counseling and family planning. The PL will be an opportunity to simulate situations of practical care in contraceptive counseling and skills training in the placement/removal of long-term contraception, allowing the development of skills in a specific area of ¿¿care for this population. The autonomous component of the curricular unit should be used by trainees for reading, critical reflection and self-analysis that enhance decision-making and the development of skills in specialized nursing.
The assessment is based on individual work (100%).
