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 Programme in Health Sciences.

- can analyse different understandings of disability and how these are significant to (re)habilitation
- can assess user perspectives and user participation in individual rehabilitation processes
- can analyse coping, communication and interaction in (re)habilitation processes
Skills

- can conduct clinical assessments and set objectives in (re)habilitation
- can apply recognised strategies to set goals for (re)habilitation processes
- can analytically reflect on user participation in the design of (re)habilitation practice
General competence
The student
- can facilitate and discuss challenges related to individual (re)habilitation processes
- can actively apply user perspectives in the development of (re)habilitation practice
- can analyse (re)habilitation as a process and activity at the individual, institutional and societal level
Teaching and learning methods
The course will use varied, student-active work methods. Work and teaching methods include lectures, seminars, and group-based and individual assignments. Two teaching sessions are organised, each running over a period of three to four days. Between the sessions, the students will work on a written assignment that will be commented and discussed at the last session. Digital platforms will also be used for work between the sessions on campus. Students are expected to work actively on the written assignment between the sessions.
Course requirements
The following must have been approved in order for the student to take the examination:
- Minimum attendance of 80% at teaching sessions
Assessment
Project examination in the form of a written work that is developed during the course. The work is carried out individually with a scope of 2,000-2,500 words or in pairs with a scope of 3,500 - 4,000 words. The student can choose between two or more set research questions.
Resit examination: If the student is awarded the grade F (fails the written assignment), he/she will be given one (1) opportunity to submit a reworked version.
