The Master's students in Clinical and Health Psychology, attending the Chronic and Terminal Illness Psychology unit, will be presenting their projects in two sessions open to the entire community. The sessions will take place on the 18th and 25th of May, from 2:00 PM to 4:45 PM, in room EC2.4, at the Fernando Pessoa School of Health.
The work developed by the students is related to terminal illnesses and palliative care. In this way, current and relevant topics for the health literacy of (future) health professionals and the general population will be addressed, namely grief (identification of natural grief and complicated grief, grief tasks, when to seek help, how to support someone grieving); communication of bad news (what is bad news, communication protocols for bad news); dignity (interventions carried out with patients and families for the promotion of dignity, dignity therapy with adults and adolescents); spirituality (the importance of spirituality in the context of illnesses and the spiritual interview); and also self-care (what self-care is, what it is for and how to put it into practice).
The open classes are prepared to constitute health education sessions, aimed at students of other health-related courses and from different training areas, teachers, health professionals and professionals from the teaching clinics, clinic users, and the general population.
Free entry.
