Increase your skills in the management of elderly patients, with this Postgraduate diploma in which you will be able to delve into the study of their personality"
Nurses are people who must have extensive knowledge in different areas. Although their work as nurses may be considered to be the same, regardless of the field in which they work, this is not entirely true, since the more specialized the professional is in their area of intervention, the more complete and better they will be able to perform their work.
In the case of Psychogeriatrics, it is essential for the nurse to know the history of the person, since, in old age, it is essential not only as a means of knowledge to be able to intervene, but also as an end of the intervention itself. In this way, we could say that personality is the window through which the person who reaches old age looks and expresses themselves.
By studying this Postgraduate diploma, you will learn to analyze the current state of old age in society, as well as prepare themselves for the immediate future, since, in the coming decades, when the young people of today are elderly people, new knowledge and tools will be needed to achieve the best possible quality of life.
