Overview
In this unit you will be introduced to psychosocial concepts of health, wellness and illness across the lifespan and the nurse's role in promoting wellness. The different stages of the lifespan are discussed in terms of transition, adaptation and resilience. You will also identify the impact of biopsychosocial and cultural factors on lifespan development and how values, beliefs and attitudes affect health and illness perceptions and behaviours. You will have the opportunity to demonstrate age and culturally appropriate communication strategies.

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of 'pass' in order to pass the unit. If any 'pass/fail' tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully ('pass' grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the 'assessment task' section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University's Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from HAVE YOUR SAY SURVEY
Repeating students indicated the changed structure of the unit was more difficult than the earlier term and this impacted on their results.
Term 2 is the final term this unit will be undertaken by students. The move to the new curriculum will address this situation. Term 2 will continue with the same approved assessment structure with additional workshops provided to the students.
Feedback from HAVE YOUR SAY SURVEY and email
Students reported that the interactive workshops were of great benefit in providing a forum to interact with lecturers and discuss material.
The interactive workshops should be continued.
Feedback from Email, personal statements in workshops, HAVE YOUR SAY survey
Students were challenged by the isolation requirements for COVID-19.
Increased social spaces embedded within Moodle were provided to foster student engagement and these appear to have been well utilised. Additional online presence of coordinators also gave further opportunities for connection by students. This will be continued.

The case study is divided into parts and students are encouraged to use headings throughout the paper to provide structure- the Discussion Sections may be used as a heading.
Discussion Sections | Suggested topic areas to be considered may include: |
Overview of the situation | Explore the main person using a lifespan approach and identify key characteristics of the person’s current situation. Identify the health concern. |
Factors affecting health decisions and behaviour | Identify what Model of Health requires consideration in planning nursing care? Explore how the participants' health decisions are made within complex social environments. Consider the impacts of social influences, inequalities and culture. |

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
