Job assignments
The project's overall aim is to develop a didactic method for using drama in education that can be applied to promote students' learning process in the nursing and specialist nursing programme.
With the intention to develop the nursing profession with focus on person-centered care, it seems necessary that education of future nurses and specialist nurses notice and highlights how different care situations can be understood from the perspective of individuals. Drama in education has the unique potential to offer learning with clear changes of perspectives, which allows the students to integrate the thought-feeling-action.

Especially regarding conflicts and ethical dilemmas involving patients, families and staff.

The project consists of four studies including both descriptive and exploratory design. Research questions for the project are about:
- To identify critical health events based on clinical care situations focusing on the care relationship, and examine and describe how health care situations can be used for learning through drama in education.
- To strengthen students' learning process in professional career development.
- What enables student learning with drama as a teaching method and how progression is related to professional growth?
- How learning with drama can contribute to increased preparedness of students and to increase security in the care relationship in the encounter with the patient and relatives, and to understand and apply the meaning of person-centered care?
