| Course Objectives | The aim of this course is to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the physiopathologic mechanisms underlying women-specific health problems. Students are expected to understand the etiology, pathogenesis and consequences of gynecologic, obstetric and other health problems encountered by women throughout the life cycle at the cellular and systemic level. In this way, it is aimed that students will be able to better interpret the situations they encounter in clinical practice, develop evidence-based care approaches and create the scientific basis necessary for nursing practice. |
| Course Learning Outcomes |
The students who succeeded in this course;
|
| Course Content | Cell physiology and pathology, effects of metabolic processes at the cellular level, physiopathological changes in women's health problems and their reflections on nursing care. |
