BIBV3010 Universal design Course description

After completing the course, the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student

• can assess key theories related to pain in young people, adults and the older adults
• can discuss approaches to assessing pain and appropriate interventions provided by healthcare professions
• can critically assess theories on motivation and coping with respect to long-term pain conditions
• can assess the significance of a culture and gender perspective in relation to pain

Skills

The student

• can apply relevant theories and models on pain
• can interpret the results of multidimensional assessments of people with pain
• can critically reflect on different interventions for long-term pain conditions

General competence

The student

• can describe key aspects of pain theories
• can implement knowledge about multidimensional assessments of pain conditions
• can disseminate research-based knowledge on the examination and treatment of pain

The course will use varied, student-active work methods and is organised in line with the flipped classroom principle, where teaching sessions at the university and digital and written supervision support the video lectures. Seminars at the university will be a combination of lectures, seminars and workshops.

During the course, the student will complete an independent work involving planning a knowledge translation project relevant to their own practice. The work begins with a practical KT workshop. Individual supervision will be given on the assignment work (written feedback on the draft assignment). The work is then edited to form an examination assignment, which then takes the form of a knowledge translation project plan.

Individual home examination over 14 days. Scope: 3,000 words (+/- 10%).

If the course is taught in English, students can also choose to write/conduct the examination in a Scandinavian language (Norwegian, Swedish or Danish).

Eksamen i emnet er en skoleeksamen på 4 timer.

All aids are permitted, as long as the rules for source referencing are complied with.

Knowledge of the neurobiology and neurophysiological basis of pain corresponding to a bachelor’s degree in a healthcare profession.
