BIOCHEMISTRY AND BIOPHYSICS


Placement: First Year

TIME ALLOTTED:

Theory: 04 credits

Preamble

Biochemistry and Biophysics is a growing enterprise worldwide, driven primarily by the

widespread realization of the major contribution that can be made to biological science by a

combination of truly state-of-the-art physical measurements with modern molecular biology. The

field occupies a unique and central position at the intersection of the biological, chemical,

physical, and medical sciences. It is a modest attempt to present the basic principles and

practices of biochemistry and biophysics in simple, lucid and illustrative manner by

incorporating their applications to healthcare and nursing practices. The content of textbook is

divided into two sections; Section-A Biochemistry and Section-B Biophysics. Section-A

includes basics of biochemistry, cell, water, electrolytes, enzymes, digestions and absorption of

food. Furthermore, biochemical aspects and metabolism of carbohydrates, protein and fat has

been presented. Section-B includes basic physical principles and healthcare/nursing applications

of biophysics like motions, gravity, force, energy, work, heat, light, pressure, sound, electricity,

electromagnetism, atomic energy and electronics. The content of biophysics has been presented

using non-mathematical approach by incorporating adequate examples from healthcare and

nursing sciences. In addition, it has been ensured that each physical principle is simply defined

and discussed with its application to nursing practices.

Goals

The goals for programme endeavors to provide students a broad based training in biochemistry

with a solid background of basic concepts as well as exposing them to the exciting advancements

in the field. In addition to theoretical knowledge, significant emphasis has been given to provide

hands on experience to the students in the forefront areas of experimental biochemistry.

Objectives

At the end of the class the students can be able to :

1. Identify the basic principles of bio-chemistry and biophysics.

2. Synthesize the knowledge of these principles in various nursing situation.

Duration

One year program (theory as well as practical)

Eligibility

Applicants must:

1. hold a nursing degree or equivalent qualification.

2. be registered nurses.

3. have a minimum of 1 year post-registration experience

4. hold a diploma in General Nursing & midwifery(GNM)

20

Intake Capacity 30 seats per year

Career oppurtunities:- Biophysics utilizes physics to study biological processes. The field

encompasses the study of molecular and cell biology, atomic and molecular physics, organic

and physical chemistry, and the curriculum may include courses in calculus, differential

equations, computer programming and genetics.

Fee structure:- Rs 160000/- per year. The examination fees will be decided by the university.

TEACHING STRATEGIES:-

Method of Teaching

• Lecture-cum-discussion • Seminar/Presentations • Project • Lab demonstration • Experiments and tests. Methods of Evaluation

• Quiz, Tests (Term) • Assignments/Term paper • Presentations and lab re-demonstration. • Project work

PSYCHOLOGY


Time allotted: Theory: 04 credits

PREAMBLE

This course is designed to reorient and widen the student's knowledge of

fundamentals of psychology. The student is offered an opportunity to

apply the theoretical concepts in the clinical setting and thereby understand

the psychodynamics of patient behaviour. This course would also help the

student to develop an insight into her own behavior.

GOALS

i. Apply psychological principles while performing nursing

duties.

ii. Distinguish the psychological processes during health and sickness.

iii. Analyze own behavior patterns.

iv. Tabulate the psychological needs of the patients for planning nursing care.

v. Participate in psychometric assessment of the client
