HETEK4000 Samspill i helse og teknologi Emneplan

Technological development driven by science and innovation is crucial for a sustainable future healthcare system. The process of developing, implementing, and utilising new technology requires interdisciplinary collaboration, active user involvement and understanding of the roles of public and private stakeholders. Stakeholders include the higher education sector, the specialist- and municipal health service, user organisations, as well as enterprises.

This course introduces key concepts related to technological research and development, user involvement and engagement, system design, and innovation. Students will explore how new technology can contribute to sustainable solutions in health care services and health related research. Reflection about ethical challenges posed by new technology, and the advantages and obstacles of interdisciplinary collaborations will also be central in the course.

Students must have been admitted to the Master’s Programme in Health and Technology.

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 account for key concepts related to technological development, system design and innovation
• has knowledge of different stakeholders and their role in the health service and in health related research
• can describe suitable professional tools and methods for identifying user needs and assessing their functional level through user oriented thinking
• can describe important factors that promote or hinder the implementation of technology in practice

is familiar with some relevant technological solutions used in diagnostic tools, therapy, health promotion or rehabilitation work

Skills

The student

• can assess some established and new relevant user oriented methods in research and development work in health and technology
• can reflect on ethical issues relating to cases from a health and technology perspective
• can actively engage in interdisciplinary discussions and collaborative group work

can use future scenarios to discuss technological developments in their own field both nationally and internationally

General competence

The student

• can reflect upon opportunities for innovation within the field of health and technology, e.g. new sustainable solutions, working methods, services or products, with the help of user orientation, system design and critical thinking
• can identify and reflect upon disciplinary differences, possible barriers, and ways of integrating their own professional background and competence in an interdisciplinary collaboration

Undervisningsspråk: Norsk

Formålet med emnet er å gjøre studentene i stand til å utføre undersøkelse og faglige vurderinger etter prinsipper for psykomotorisk fysioterapi. Undersøkelsen legger til grunn en forståelse av kroppen som stedet for erfaring og en samspillende helhet. Det innebærer at lokale kroppslige plager vurderes i lys av hele kroppens muskulære spenninger og bevegelighet, samt pasientens historie og nåværende situasjon. Emnet gir et praktisk og teoretisk grunnlag for psykomotorisk fysioterapi. Praksisperiode 1 påbegynnes i dette emnet.

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

• Oral presentation in groups of 4-6 students, up to 30 minutes. The group will present their own health and technology project, and the form of presentation chosen depends on the project. Issues arising along the way must be described. The presentation must be given in English if there are English-speaking students on the course.

Studenten må være tatt opp på Masterstudium i helsevitenskap - spesialisering i psykomotorisk fysioterapi og ha norsk autorisasjon som fysioterapeut.

Det forutsettes at studenten har tilgang til et praksissted/eget arbeidssted hvor de kan behandle pasienter med psykomotorisk fysioterapi.

Etter gjennomført emne har studenten følgende læringsutbytte definert i kunnskap, ferdigheter og generell kompetanse:

Kunnskap

Studenten kan

• gjøre rede for og drøfte prinsipper i psykomotorisk kroppsundersøkelse
• tolke funn fra undersøkelsen i lys av pasientens historie og relevant litteratur (klinisk resonnering)
• drøfte aspekter ved klinisk resonnering
• vurdere relevante behandlingstiltak
• drøfte ulike kroppsforståelser

Ferdigheter

Studenten kan

• utføre hel kroppsundersøkelse etter prinsipper for psykomotorisk fysioterapi og gjøre en faglig vurdering av funn og pasientens problem.
• utforske hvilken betydning plager og symptomer kan ha for den enkelte pasient
• utforske relevante behandlingstiltak i samspill med pasienten

Generell kompetanse

Studenten kan

• analysere og vurdere sammensatte kliniske problemstillinger og foreslå relevante tiltak
• formidle selvstendige faglige vurderinger av undersøkelser og behandlingsforløp basert på prinsipper for psykomotorisk fysioterapi

Grade scale A–F

All answers are assessed by two examiners. An external examiner is used regularly, at a minimum of every third completion of the course. When selecting answers for external evaluation, a minimum of 10 percent of the answers shall be included, with no fewer than 5 answers. The external examiner’s assessment of the selected answers shall benefit all students.

For å fremstille seg til eksamen må følgende være godkjent:

• minimum 80 % tilstedeværelse i ferdighetstrening og timeplanlagte seminar - og gruppearbeid, samt veiledning av egen praksis i gruppe
