INTRODUCTION
This subject aims to introduce the student to taking care of children in Primary Health Care (APS). Broadly speaking, the health situation of the population of Catalonia is currently characterized by a life expectancy that is among the highest in the world. Habits and lifestyles have improved in relation to smoking, the use of safety features in cars and motorbikes and the performance of preventive activities (control of blood pressure, measurement of cholesterol levels, performing mammograms and cytology or flu vaccination). However, there are important areas for improvement, especially those in which we have not progressed, such as physical activity, healthy eating or maintaining an appropriate weight. In the case of young people, the importance of smoking and excessive consumption of alcohol and drugs, unsafe sexual habits and gender violence, as well as eating disorders, is of concern.
Currently, a child is understood as \"every human being below the age of 18 years unless, under the law applicable to him or her, majority is attained earlier\" (Article 1 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, UNICEF 1996). The Convention on the Rights of the Child states the following: \"All children shall be free from discrimination. To develop physically and mentally in freedom and with dignity. To have a name and a nationality. To have access to adequate nutrition, housing, recreation and health services. To receive special treatment, if they have any disability. To receive love, understanding and material security. To receive education to develop their capacities. To be the first to receive protection in the event of disasters. To be protected from neglect, cruelty and exploitation. To be educated in the spirit of friendship among peoples\". (United Nations General Assembly 1989).
In our environment, nursing care for children is based on:
- A widespread dissemination of the concept of health.
- A permanent influence of socioeconomic conditions on the situation of children and adolescents.
- A very important development of healthcare from a technological and organizational perspective.
In our environment we have the Protocol of preventive activities and health promotion in pediatric age “Growing up healthy”, and its objective is to guarantee the healthy development of children from a comprehensive, equitable and community perspective.
This protocol has as main objectives:
- Promotion of health from birth: promoting healthy habits from the first years of life and, supporting families in raising and health education.
- Reduction of inequalities in child health: special attention to vulnerable groups and, equitable access to health and prevention services.
- Improving vaccination coverage and early detection: ensuring that children aged 0 to 14 are correctly vaccinated and, strengthening screening and development monitoring programs.
- Emotional well-being and child mental health: prevention of emotional and behavioral problems and, support for families and schools to detect and manage difficulties.
- Healthy and safe environments: promotion of school and community spaces that promote physical and emotional health and, prevention of environmental and social risks.
The need to specifically instruct nurses in caring for children is parallel to the development of pediatric consultations in primary health care. Pediatric nursing is defined as \"the provision of care or taking care of children and adolescents to promote the balance of basic needs in relation to health, illness and death\".
On the other hand, research in pediatric nursing is framed within this field of study. Nursing research is that which increases knowledge within the scope of the object of nursing, such as studies of the level of modification of the basic needs of a child with health problems depending on the degree of development.

Learning activities and methodology
| Title | Hours | ECTS | Learning outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|
| PRACTICES OF ADVANCED CLINICAL SKILLS | 6 | 0.24 | |
| ELABORATION OF WORK / PERSONAL STUDY / READING OF ARTICLES | 49 | 1.96 | |
| THEORI AND CLINICAL CASES | 20 | 0.8 |
The methodology used will be:
- Expository classes with the purpose of explaining the most current evidence, clarifying doubts and relating concepts where students have greater difficulty.
- Group presentations: realization and presentation of a pediatric nursing clinical situation in the field of childhood, adolescence in care situations in primary health care.
- Practices of advanced clinical skills and clinical simulation of cases: in order to carry out certain procedures and the application of different protocols, and clinical guidelines to attend to children in pediatric nursing consultations in Primary Health Care.
- Individualized tutoring: specific tutoring can be specified by contacting the teacher beforehand by e-mail via Moodle.
For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively in support tasks, as a complementary method in bibliographic or information searches, text correction or translations. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. The lack of transparency in the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.
Note: 15 minutes of a class will be set aside, within the calendar established by the center/degree, for students to fill in the teacher performance and subject evaluation surveys /module.

This subject does not provide for the single assessment system
The assessment system is organized into several assessment activities distributed throughout the course:
- Realization and presentation of a pediatric nursing clinical situation (represents 20% of the final grade), in the field of childhood and adolescence in situations of altered normality. This activity is group. The evaluation process will be through 2 formative evaluation rubrics: a written presentation rubric and an oral presentation rubric.
- Written test that represents 50% of the final grade of the subject. This test assesses the ability to apply knowledge in the care of healthy children, as well as to organize and integrate ideas and information.
- Advanced clinical skills practices (PHCAs). The previous preparation, attendance, attitude and participation of the students will be assessed, as well as the preparation of supporting notes. It will be evaluated using a formative evaluation rubric. They represent 15% of the final grade of the subject.
- Completion of a written work related to pediatric nursing practice in primary care carried out under an intersectionality analysis and from a gender perspective. It represents 15% of the final grade of the subject.
OBTAINING THE FINAL QUALIFICATION:
The requirement for obtaining the final grade through continuous assessment is to have attended all the assessed parts and to have passed them with a grade of 5 or higher.
Students who do not take both the theoretical and practical evaluation tests will be considered "Not Assessable", exhausting their rights to register for the subject.
In order to participate in the recovery process, the student must have previously been assessed in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of 55% of the subject's total grade. To participate in the recovery process, the student must have obtained a minimum grade of 3.5 in the average of the subject. PHCAs, due to their eminently practical nature, are not recoverable.
The final grade of the subject will be the weighted average of the different parts that make it up.
According to agreement 4.4 of the Governing Council 17/11/2010 of the evaluation regulations, the grades will be:
From 0 to 4.9 = Suspension
From 5.0 to 6.9 = Passed
From 7.0 to 8.9 = Remarkable
From 9.0 to 10 = Excellent
From 9.0 to 10 Honors Matriculation (will be awarded to those students who have obtained the best total grades greater than or equal to 9, within the quota of 5% of students enrolled in the subject).
The student has the right to review the evaluations. For this purpose, the date will be determined on the virtual campus.
The assessment of special and particular situations will be assessed by an assessment committee set up for that purpose.
Bibliography
In line with the methodology used, independent resolution of clinical cases based on theory and, given that one of the general skills that the student is expected to acquire is that of developing strategies for independent learning, no bibliography is specified. The student must become competent in the search and management of information.
