Social nurses provide care aimed at improving the social functioning of individuals and their households or other groups of people. To this end, they try to detect the causes of physical, psychological and/or social imbalances and they organise activities that can restore this balance. Students are offered internships in specialised working environments that provide this kind of care.
The training programme is intended for students who are interested in providing social assistance and care for children, adults and elderly persons, either in the preventative or in the curative healthcare and welfare services. This sector, too, is understaffed.
