This year, the Faculty of Nursing Science Alumni meet to meet new graduates, enter into discussions, and continue discourses.
With the Autumn Academy 2017, we are calling for a topic that is important for nursing science and nursing policy. Despite temporary signs of fatigue in the political and legislative discourse, the newly adopted Nursing Care Reform Act and its consequences will be our topic. The law and the related disputes in the legislative process leave traces and point to necessary reform processes in school and practice. We want to track down and discuss these with the expertise of alumni. Keynote speeches from a professional policy, nursing didactic, and international perspective offers this position and occasion.
The topics of current research projects within the framework of master theses and dissertations are the subject of a science workshop. After being selected through a peer review, students have the opportunity to present the topic they are currently working on and discuss it with the alumni - a win-win situation for both sides.
After plenty of time for meetings and exchanges, the Herbstakademie ends up in this year's Faculty Festival of the Faculty of Nursing Science. Welcome to Vallendar!
Scientific training, human interaction, and Christian spirituality are the theological faculty of the Philosophical-Theological College Vallendar (PTHV).
One of our small but well-equipped faculty strengths is that professors easily meet students and collaborate on learning processes. The students are individually accompanied in their scientific, spiritual, and personal development by proven scientists. The university creates space for innovative research, teaching, and studying.

At the end of December 2017 (duration of the project until December 2020), the project "Innovations for the promotion of quality of care with a varying number of skilled workers (InQuaFa)" of Bethesda-St. Martin non-profit GmbH from Boppard. The project is supervised by Prof. Dr. med. Albert Brühl, Chair of Statistics and Standardized Procedures at the Nursing Faculty of the Philosophical-Theological College Vallendar (PTHV). Involved is also Prof. Dr. med. Katarina Planner from Esslingen University. The project is funded by the Ministry of Social Affairs, Labor, Health, and Demography of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate. The Bethesda St. Martin gemeinnützige GmbH ensures the residual financing of the project over its funds.
The project aims to investigate the relationship between the differentiation of the need for care, the quality of care achieved, and nurses' provision. Here, an attempt is made to represent the influence of differently qualified nurses on care quality. The project is also about gaining insights into addressing the existing and, in the future, ever-worsening skills shortage. The four inpatient facilities of Bethesda-St. Martin non-profit GmbH:
- Altenzentrum Haus Elisabeth in Boppard
- Altenzentrum Ev. Marktkirchengemeinde in Neuwied
- Senior center Bethesda in Höhr-Grenzhausen
- Support and meeting center Haus im Rebenhang in Winningen.
In a first project step, criteria are defined, collected in a first data collection on two working days within the four-member institutions. Based on these two days, the relationships between the equipment with nursing staff, the differentiation of different people in need of care, and possible levels are analyzed on which is maintained. The analyzes are used to derive interventions that help maintain the quality of care. These interventions will be implemented in the second year of the project. In the third year of the project, it is examined to what extent there have been meaningful changes in nurses' use. As a result, indications are provided as to where the use of nursing staff affects the quality of care and how this can be ensured.
The BMBF project group "Game-Based Learning in Nursing" (GaBaLearn) is working on the development and Testing of computer-based learning games, which can be used for complex nursing casework in the context of nursing education. The aim is to create the opportunity to test and practice occupationally relevant competencies in simulated, digitized work environments simulated in practice. Digital nursing simulations are being developed that give learners in nursing the opportunity to exercise their decision-making skills in complex care situations (e.g., dealing with people with dementia) without endangering the people in need of care or themselves. The development, testing, and evaluation of these learning games occur in nursing education's real learning contexts. The project is aimed at the broad field of nursing education (care of the elderly, health and nursing, health care, and pediatric nursing) and is being tested using.
