Course history

Introduction

Formålet med dette emnet er å gjøre studentene i stand til å koordinere trygge og kvalitativt gode helse- og omsorgstjenester gjennom hele pasientforløpet, spesielt relatert til storbyens utfordringer. Med helse- og omsorgstjenestene menes både offentlige og godkjente private tjenester samt nye arena for pleie og behandling. Gjennom emnet vil studentene også få erfaring med veiledning og undervisning av ulike pasient- og studentgrupper og av helsepersonell innenfor sentrale tema i kreftsykepleie. Emnet gir også en innføring i hvordan man selv som kreftsykepleier kan mestre å arbeide med pasienter med alvorlig sykdom. Konkret vil emnet også inneholde kunnskap om hvordan teknologi kan anvendes i samhandlingen mellom de ulike tilbudene/tjenestenivåene og mellom pasienter med kreft og tilbyderne. Sentralt for emnet er at studentene vil opparbeide ferdigheter til å inneha en ledende rolle av kreftsykepleiefaget og ha en selvstendig rolle i det tverrfaglige teamet.

Learning outcomes

Language of instruction: Norwegian.

This course has a focus on knowledge about the interaction between disease mechanisms and exercise and specific physical activities. This includes basic insight into disease manifestations and mechanisms seen in conjunction with prevention, treatment and rehabilitation from a life course perspective. The course looks at the prescription of physical activity and exercise with a view to elaborating on the general guidelines in terms of components frequency, intensity, type and duration.

Teaching and learning methods

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

Course requirements

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 analyse current theories, examination methods and exercise/rehabilitation measures intended to improve/maintain health and physical function
  • can assess relevant exercise principles and theories related to components, frequency, intensity, type and duration
  • can describe the body’s structure and function considering the preconditions for physical activity and exercise
  • can assess which factors can impede or promote physical activity and exercise
  • can analyse and assess theory, concepts and problems related to the advisory role in physical activity and exercise
  • can interpret basic scientific methodology and critically assess the use of sources

Skills

The student

  • can assess and test physical condition and functioning using relevant assessment methods
  • can identify persons with clinical conditions who require special consideration when exercising and being tested
  • can adapt different exercise programmes individually and in groups for persons with various levels of functioning and health condition, based on the user’s wishes and needs, current research/guidelines and own clinical experience (evidence-based practice)
  • can critically assess and implement research-based and experience-based knowledge considering contextual factors and individual preferences

General competence

The student

  • can integrate knowledge and skills from relevant disciplines and professions in a common perspective on physical activity, exercise and rehabilitation

Assessment

The course will use varied, student-active work methods. Work methods include flipped classroom, seminars with group work that will include round-table discussions, presentations and discussions. Lectures will be in both traditional and digital form. The course assumes a high degree of self-study and supervision on assignments. Skills training also forms part of the course, where the students will be taught how to determine the dosing of exercise.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

The following must have been approved in order for the student to take the examination:

  • a minimum of 80% attendance in group supervision and seminars where students present their assignments
  • an individual written and oral presentation of an individually-adapted exercise programme with appropriate dosage for an older adult.

Grading scale

Individual home examination over three weeks, including a description of an exercise program for an elderly person with reduced function. Scope: 2,500 words (+/- 10 %).

If the course is taught in English, students who wish to do so can answer the exam in Norwegian.

Examiners

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