| AIM OF THE COURSE |
| The overall objective of the course is to develop an in-depth understanding of self-care as it is performed by persons with chronic illness. Self-care is a term used in the literature to encompass healthy behavior, treatment adherence, and decision-making about symptoms when they occur. Various illness, physiological, psychological, ethical, behavioral, situational, social, and cultural factors influence how well patients make the transition from health to illness and the performance of self-care behaviors. |
| CONTENTS |
| In this course we will examine the history of self-care, discuss how the idea has changed over time and what forces have influenced its shape, power and influence. We will explore related concepts, various definitions, the processes that influence self-care, and the expected outcomes. |
| TEACHING |
| The educational method used is problem-based learning (PBL), PBL emphasises the student´s development of free, self-supporting, lifelong learning ability as an instrument for critical inquiry. The students own queries and formulated problems form the basis of PBL. Important is also the student´s ability to take responsibility for his/her own learning, and to seek and evaluate information and knowledge and to train co-operation and a flexible attitude to different views and ideas. |
