| DESCRIPTION | This study-unit is practical based, building upon the theoretical framework of the Health Behaviour Issues for the Individual. Students are given the opportunity to practice under supervision simulated scenarios to provide health promotion in a one-to-one setting in primary care. Study-unit Aims: This study-unit is aimed to equip students with practical skills to carry out health promotion sessions to individuals. It aims to give them opportunity to observe, share and demonstrate skills that they have learnt from theoretical credits in relation to health education and personal skills in particular. Each student will be given the opportunity to demonstrate such skills and be given continuous feedback on one's performance. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - show an ability to associate various individual perceptions to health, illness and treatment with health behaviour; - identify the key principles of health belief models and health promotion when performing one-to-one health promotion; - show an ability to relate knowledge of the key concepts of the various socio-cognitive models and to the individual's health behaviour; - demonstrate skills that show student's understanding of coping theories to health behaviour change. 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - discuss rationale for one's health behaviour in view of theories of health, health beliefs and socio-cognitive influences; - show an ability to intervene appropriately in health education one-to-one sessions; - demonstrate effective communication skills while delivering health promotions sessions to the individual; - be able to maintain confidentiality and work within an ethical framework when working in a one-to-one situation with clients.
