TANNPRA1B Practice in Removable Prosthetics Course description

Emnet bygger på TANN2400 hvor studenten har valgt fordypning i avtakbar protetikk. Hoveddelen av emnet gjennomføres som et sammenhengende eksternt praksisstudium over 16 uker. Ekstern praksis foregår normalt i tanntekniske bedrifter i Norge. Emnet gir mulighet for internasjonalisering i form av tre måneders utveksling til samarbeidsinstitusjoner i utlandet.

Læringsutbytter fra tidligere studieretningsfag skal nå aktualiseres, integreres og prøves ut i en kontekst preget av yrkessosialisering og samarbeid med utøvende tannteknikere og andre profesjoner i tannhelseteamet. Studenten skal utvikle sine praktiske ferdigheter og handlingskompetanse gjennom deltakelse i reelle faglige arbeidsoppgaver og utfordringer.

I ekstern laboratoriepraksis skal studentene arbeide med fremstilling av hel og partiell protetikk, harde bittskinner og ortodontisk apparatur.

Emnet er sammensatt av følgende fag, angitt i studiepoeng:

• Profesjonell samhandling teori 4 sp.
• Partiell og helprotetikk ekstern praksis 13 sp.
• Ortodontisk apparatur ekstern praksis 6 sp.
• Helsett ekstern praksis 7 sp.

Physiotherapists come into contact with people with unique life stories and different health conditions. The practice of professionally sound physiotherapy requires knowledge about the progression of illness and how illness affects cells, tissue and organs, as well as how to live with injuries, illnesses and/or loss function.This course addresses congenital or acquired injuries and illnesses with different prognoses of the nervous system, respiratory system and cardiovascular system. The competence to decide what measures to initiate to strengthen the patient’s health condition and restore functioning and participation is also contingent on the physiotherapist being able to integrate and critically assess knowledge from different sources. Person-centred physiotherapy also requires an understanding of the patient’s life story, perspective, experience and resources, as well as facilitation for user participation and shared decision making. Through practical training, the students will acquire clinical experience of cooperating with patients.

Passed first year of the programme or equivalent

After completing the course, the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence (learning outcomes marked with three asterisks (***) are assessed in connection with the practical training):

Knowledge

The student can

• describe pathological processes in metabolic conditions and for injuries and diseases of the nervous system, respiratory system and cardiovascular system, and describe casual mechanisms and recognise risk factors
• explain different clinical conditions and relate them to injuries and diseases of the nervous system, respiratory system and cardiovascular system

Skills

The student can

• establish an alliance with a patient through cooperation and communication***
• obtain relevant information about patients’ health condition, personal factors and experience through conversation/subjective assessment and the clinical examination***
• give grounds for the choice of methods of examination and standardised assessment tools for persons in different life phases with injuries or diseases in the nervous system, respiratory system and/or cardiovascular system, and how to apply these.
• discuss and stipulate goals, and plan physiotherapy measures based on a patient treatment or a case history***
• propose and justify treatment- and rehabilitation methods for people with disease/injuries of the nervous system, respiratory system and cardiovascular system, in different life phases and in cooperation with other relevant professional groups
• implement and evaluate planned physiotherapy measures in consultation with the practical training supervisor and explain their clinical reasoning***
• apply knowledge about mastery and utilise the patient’s resources in supervision, assessment and measures***
• develop a clinical reasoning based on a professional issue
• obtain information regarding technical and orthopaedic aids, and, from case histories, justify aid and environmental adaptations to promote movement, activity and participation

General competence

The student can

• obtain research-based knowledge related to a clinical issue
• carry out tasks in line with requirements for professional responsibility, the practical training establishment’s regulations (including clothing, hygiene and infection control) and Norwegian Physiotherapy Association (NFF) work ethics and guidelines***
• identify and reflect on professional and ethical dilemmas on the basis of experience from practical training and discuss the safeguarding of patient rights.

The work and teaching methods include self-study, group work, seminars, oral student presentations/ communication assignments, skills training, lectures and practical training.

The practical training comprises 90 hours in total, 60 of which are supervised practical training. The remaining 30 hours are set aside to prepare for the practical training.

The following must have been approved in order for the student to receive a final assessment in part 3:

• a minimum attendance of 80 % in teaching specified as ‘compulsory attendance’ in the schedule
• a clinical reasoning in groups based on a professional issue, prepared according to current criteria
