FYB2300 Health and Participation Throughout the Life Span - II Course description

Like FYB2100, this course focuses on public health and health in a life course perspective. Promoting health and participation for individuals with various levels of functioning and health is an important part of professional physiotherapy practice. Physiotherapists must be able to obtain information about the physical, psychosocial and organisational factors that characterise the arenas where people live their lives. The key arenas are the home, workplace, schools and kindergartens, and these can be relevant arenas for rehabilitation, habilitation and health-promoting work. Physiotherapists must also be able to safeguard the rights of people who are excluded from various arenas in life, for example from the labour market. Supervision and treatment of individuals in group activities are important skills for physiotherapists, and the practical training in this course gives students experience of supervising and leading groups.

The students will also participate in the interdisciplinary teaching initiative INTER1200.

INTER1200: ‘Communication with Children, Young People and their Families’ (1.5 credits) makes up the second module of the university's teaching project INTERACT. INTER1200 increases students' knowledge about communication and interaction with children and young people. As in INTER1100, the students receive training in cooperating with students from other programmes of professional study on topics relating to the everyday lives of children and young people.

This common course is developed for all the bachelor’s degree programmes taught at the Faculty of Health Sciences that are covered by the National Curriculum Regulations for Norwegian Health and Welfare Education (RETHOS).

The course deals with public health and health management. Public health emphasises the distribution of health challenges in the population based on causal connections and risk factors relating to health, education, work and living conditions. Health management emphasises international guidelines and conditions with a bearing on illness, health and quality of life in the population at individual, group and society level, including the sustainability goals.

The course is intended to contribute to a fundamental professional understanding of how the health service is organised, relevant legislation, strategies and goals for preventive and health promoting work in Norway.

The student must have been admitted to the study programme.
