Introduction to the Program

Con esta Postgraduate diploma 100% online, tendrás acceso a un itinerario académico especializado y avanzado, que mejorará tu capacidad para brindar cuidados de calidad a pacientes con enfermedades hematológicas” 

La Enfermería juega un papel fundamental en el seguimiento de los pacientes con trastornos hematológicos, que incluyen Leucemias, Linfomas y Anemias Graves, entre otros. De hecho, un estudio realizado por la Sociedad Española de Enfermería Hematológica (SEEH) resalta que un adecuado manejo de los cuidados de Enfermería mejora los resultados clínicos de estos pacientes, reduciendo complicaciones, como infecciones, o efectos adversos de los tratamientos oncológicos. 

Así nace esta Postgraduate diploma, gracias al cual los enfermeros adquirirán la capacidad de identificar y describir las principales enfermedades hematológicas, tanto malignas como no malignas, y realizar evaluaciones clínicas completas en pacientes pediátricos y adultos. Además, podrán interpretar correctamente los resultados de las pruebas diagnósticas y planificar cuidados individualizados, abordando de manera integral los síntomas y los efectos secundarios. 

Asimismo, se profundizará en la estandarización del lenguaje y los conceptos relacionados con la seguridad, identificando y previniendo riesgos durante el cuidado de los pacientes hematológicos. También se analizará el impacto económico y asistencial de los problemas derivados de la falta de seguridad, así como la importancia de utilizar herramientas para la notificación de incidentes y aprender de los errores. 

Finalmente, se capacitará a los profesionales en la aplicación de los principios éticos fundamentales, como la autonomía, la beneficencia y la no maleficencia. En este sentido, se abordará cómo gestionar dilemas éticos en torno a tratamientos avanzados y experimentales, como los trasplantes de médula ósea y las terapias génicas. A su vez, se indagará en las habilidades interpersonales para establecer una comunicación efectiva con pacientes y familiares. 

De este modo, TECH ha desarrollado un programa académico de excelencia, totalmente online, que permitirá acceder a todos los recursos didácticos a través de un dispositivo electrónico conectado a Internet. Esto elimina inconvenientes como el traslado a un centro presencial o la necesidad de cumplir con un horario rígido. Adicionalmente, incorporará la avanzada metodología Relearning, basada en la repetición estratégica de conceptos clave para facilitar una adquisición de conocimientos efectiva y natural.

El énfasis en la humanización de la atención y la comprensión de las necesidades emocionales y psicológicas de los pacientes te permitirá ofrecer una atención holística, favoreciendo el bienestar del paciente”
