In addition to the development of public health, an understanding of public health and health sciences and their significance for nursing expertise will be developed. In addition, students will be familiar with central scientific and subjective constructs of health and illness. Furthermore, they will be familiar with selected health psychological concepts that can be used to predict health behavior.
