Course history

Introduction

Language of instruction: Norwegian

This course covers knowledge on (re)habilitation from an individual perspective and looks at (re)habilitation processes. Particular emphasis is placed on different understandings of disability, participation in valued activities and user involvement in the role of service recipient. Topics such as coping, life course, social inequality and communication in (re)habilitation processes are key aspects of the course. The course also deals with different approaches to assessment, goal setting, decision-making support and evaluation in individual (re)habilitation processes.

The changed role of the individual in the (re)habilitation process requires extensive knowledge and skills in user involvement on the part of professional practitioners. The course therefore places great emphasis on a nuanced understanding of how the (re)habilitation process is intertwined with the individual’s social circumstances and in their self-understanding.

Required preliminary courses

The student must have been admitted to the Master’s Degree Programme in Health Sciences.

Emnet vil benytte varierte, studentaktive arbeidsformer. Arbeids- og undervisningsformene omfatter forelesninger, seminarer og både gruppebaserte og individuelle arbeidsoppgaver. Det arrangeres to undervisningssamlinger, hver på 3-4 dager. Mellom samlingene arbeider studentene med en skriftlig oppgave som kommenteres og diskuteres på siste samling. Emnet gjør bruk av digitale plattformer i arbeidet mellom samlingene. Det forventes at studentene arbeider aktivt med den skriftlige oppgaven som skal utføres mellom samlingene.
