Emnehistorikk

Innledning

I dette emnet skal studenten tilegne seg inngående kunnskap om hvordan organer og organsystemer fungerer i forhold til hverandre, og hvordan patofysiologiske prosesser og medisinske sykdomstilstander starter og utvikles. Denne kunnskapen danner et nødvendig grunnlag for at studenten skal kunne observere, vurdere og identifisere symptomer hos aktuelle pasientgrupper.

Kunnskap om virkning og bivirkning av legemidler og forståelse av farmakodynamiske og farmakokinetiske prinsipper skal bidra til at studenten skal kunne administrere avansert legemiddelbehandling på en faglig forsvarlig måte.

Kunnskap om avansert medisinsk behandling ved svikt i vitale funksjoner relatert til ulike medisinske og kirurgiske tilstander er nødvendig for at studenten skal kunne delta i, gjennomføre og overvåke avansert medisinsk behandling, og å forebygge komplikasjoner i behandlingen.

Akutt og/eller kritisk syke pasienter har redusert immunforsvar og er spesielt utsatt for nosokomiale infeksjoner. For å kunne ivareta akutt og/eller syke pasienter skal studenten tilegne seg inngående kunnskap om mikroorganismers levemåte, virulens, smittemåte og infeksjonsforebyggende arbeid.

Vurderingsuttrykk

The language is normally English.

This joint course is developed for all the Bachelor programmes at the Faculty of Health Sciences which are part of RETHOS (National guidelines for the Health and Social Studies), and is considered as an introductory course, preferably taken during the first part of the study programme.

In this course, starting with relatable examples, students will learn about asking critical questions about health claims and the sources of claims. This is followed up by focusing on the rationale for evidence-based practice (EBP) and its Core Competencies: Ask, Acquire, Appraise and Interpret, Apply, and Evaluate, and shared decision-making. The course provides a foundation for learning and applying more advanced and field-specific skills. 

Sensorordning

On successful completion of the course, the student has acquired the following learning outcomes classified as knowledge, skills and competence:

Knowledge

The student

  • can define what EBP is and recognizes the rationale for EBP and shared decision making
  • knows the steps of EBP
  • is familiar with the levels in the S-pyramid and acknowledges the difference between single studies and systematic reviews
  • knows the characteristics of a scientific article, e.g. IMRAD
  • can explain the purpose and characteristics of qualitative and quantitative studies and syntheses of studies, e.g. systematic reviews
  • understands the principles for critical appraisal and knows how to use check lists for different study designs, clinical guidelines and professional procedures
  • knows different types of categorical and continuous measures of association and effect, and key graphical presentations  

Skills

The student

  • can identify different types of professional/clinical questions, such as questions about treatment, diagnosis, prognosis, experiences and etiology
  • can, for each type of clinical question, identify the preferred order of study designs
  • can formulate searchable professional/clinical questions using e.g. PICO and variations of PICO
  • can construct and carry out an appropriate and simple search strategy for professional/clinical questions from the top of the S-pyramid  

General competencies

The student

  • can critically assess health claims in the media
  • can discuss the importance of user knowledge, clinical experience, and summarized research in clinical decision-making 

Emneansvarlig

The teaching is mainly designed with "flipped classroom" and learning activities in class and smaller groups. Digital learning resources such as digital lectures, videos and films will be available to the students in advance. Students are recommended to use these resources and to be prepared before the lectures and the seminars. The students are specially recommended to participate at the presentation seminar since this seminar offers a unique opportunity for learning.
