Van Poppel Leen (coordinator) | Deleu Martine | Kayaert Lore | Van Poppel Leen | Volckaerts Dirk Aims
OLA anatomy and physiology
The student names anatomical structures on blind sketches with the correct subject terminology (Latin if indicated)
The student draws the most important anatomical structures and names the parts.
The student explains how the organs, structures and self-regulating systems in the body are built up (anatomy) and work (physiology).
The student explains physiological mechanisms. The student explains the link between histology/anatomy and physiology.
The student applies knowledge of physiology to explain a number of diseases.
The student summarises the function of an organ system.
OLA hospital hygiene and microbiology
The student motivates the importance of infection prevention for the midwifery practice and uses important concepts in a correct way: hospital hygiene, infection prevention, hospitalism, healthcare-associated infection, hospital infection, endemic-epidemic-pandemic, endogenous contamination, cross-contamination, contamination-colonisation-infection;
The student presents the contamination cycle and describes the different components (m.o., sources of contamination, transmission routes, gateway, ...). The student applies the contamination cycle to a practical situation/case;
The student knows the measures to prevent the transfer of infection when providing care. The student illustrates this by applying the general precautionary measures in care situations. (Standard Precaution CDC - recommendations HGR - ...).
The student describes the guidelines and protocols that apply to a suspected or confirmed infection in a patient.
The student knows the measures that apply to patients who are highly susceptible to infection.
The student will agree on the importance of (I) aerobic; (II) anerobe; (III) facultative & (IV) mycobacteria for nursing practice.
The student
puts in place specific preventive measures to maintain the health of mother and child
puts in place specific preventive measures to promote mother and child health

This course describes the development of infectious diseases, how the body reacts to them and how these infections can be prevented by hygienic measures.
The content is offered via K-labs (interactive working form in which teaching alternates with assignments); an E-lab (guided offer of authentic learning and professional situations). K-labs are supported by monitoraat (guidance on demand and tailored to the student).
A K-lab will be regularly asked to prepare and certain parts will be referred to as self-study.

This course studies the construction and functioning of the healthy human body. First comes the study of the construction of a particular organ or system (macroscopically and then microscopically-histologically) in order to better understand its function. Especially the monitoring of vital functions receives extra attention (midwives are the first observers of mother and child).
The content is offered via K-labs (interactive working form in which teaching alternates with assignments); E-labs (guided offer of authentic learning and professional situations). K-labs are supported by monitoraat (guidance on demand and tailored to the student).
A K-lab will be regularly asked to prepare and certain parts will be referred to as self-study.
The E-lab is about: the child with a congenital abnormality: spina bifida.
