The Nursing undergraduate program is based on the "Classical Education Model," one of the programs that relies on the structure of disciplines. The general characteristics of this education are:
In structuring the Classical Education Model at the Nursing Department of Hitit University Faculty of Health Sciences, developments aimed at meeting the health care needs of the community at national and international levels have been taken into consideration. In this education model, nursing education is carried out both theoretically and practically. All courses are conducted by expert faculty members (lecturers, doctoral-level instructors). In this education model, all professional courses (Basic Principles and Practices in Nursing, Internal Medicine Nursing, Surgical Nursing, Women's Health and Diseases Nursing, Mental Health and Psychiatry Nursing, Public Health Nursing, Management in Nursing, Education in Nursing) have the following course content: The program is planned within the framework of fundamental concepts of human beings, health/illness, environment, and nursing, and is conducted using active learning methods (role-playing, case discussions, video presentations, question-and-answer sessions) to support students' learning at cognitive, affective, and psychomotor levels.
Various nursing models and theories are utilized in conducting professional courses: Activities of Daily Living Model, Functional Health Patterns Model, Adaptation Model, Interpersonal Communication Model and Human-to-Human Relationship Model, Life Model, and Omaha Classification System. These models are used in the program. In clinical practice, case management incorporates the nursing process and utilizes NANDA (North America Nursing Diagnosis Association) nursing diagnoses, NIC (Nursing Interventions Classification), NOC (Nursing Outcomes Classification), and Omaha classification systems, which are updated every two years.
