Kursens syfte Facilitating a critical dialogue about concepts of prevention and promotion along a knowledge continuum within health care sciences research.
Kursens lärandemål Based on relevant conceptual resources, upon completion of the course the learner is expected to be able to:
1) critically appraise and reflect on the rationale for conceptual foundations on which to build research addressing illness prevention in healthcare science.
2) critically appraise and reflect on the rationale for conceptual foundations on which to build research addressing health promotion in healthcare science.
3) compare as well as analyze differences and similarities in research addressing health promotion and illness prevention in healthcare sciences.
4) demonstrate reflective reasoning about ethical issues concerning design, data gathering, analysis, intervention, and implementation of projects along a prevention/promotion continuum in healthcare sciences.
Kursens innehåll The course builds on a coordinated series of lectures, panel discussions, and debates comprising topics of health promotion and illness prevention grounded in current research conducted across departments at Karolinska Institutet and in collaboration with partner universities. The course commences with an introduction to concepts of illness prevention/health promotion relating to healthcare sciences, followed by illustrations intended to generate discussion about research methods as well as clinical and social implications. The course will build on historically relevant topics as well as ongoing research. Illustrations can come from i.e. public health, family medicine and primary care, and health sciences such as nutrition, nursing, occupational science, physiotherapy, psychology, and social work.
Arbetsformer This course is designed to constitute a series of short expert lectures, panel discussions from current projects, and ethics debates, which will culminate in the foundations for an oral examination. The learning experience builds on a mix of active reading and reflection in combination with dialogue in tandem with taking part of lectures, panels, and debates. The course requires active involvement of the learner through active participation in the scheduled learning activities.
Obligatoriska moment All course activities are mandatory. Absence of max 20% can be compensated for by additional tasks in agreement with the course organiser. At least 80% attendance and passing the final examination is mandatory for a grade of "pass" in the course.
Examination The examination will consist of an individual oral presentation in a group format, through which all participants can learn from each other in a scholarly exchange of ideas and perspectives. Each participant has to show that all the ILOs are reached.

Results will be assessed as Pass/not pass
