Interprofessional Health Education

Background: Over the past two years health educators in Australia have benefited from funding made available from national organizations such as the Office of Learning and Teaching (OLT) and Health Workforce Australia (HWA). Funded research has been conducted into educational activities across the country that aim to promote integrated and sustainable interprofessional learning.Methods and Findings: A collaboration between multiple stakeholders led to theestablishment of a consortium of nine universities and interprofessional organizations. This collaboration resulted in a series of research studies and the development of a conceptual framework to guide the planning and review of interprofessional health curricula. A case study of the development of a suite of health education programs at a regional university in Australia is used to demonstrate how the framework can be used to guide curricular reflection and to plan for the future. Shedding a light on interprofessional health education activities across multiple sites provides a rich picture of current practices and future trends. Commonalities, gaps, and challenges become much more obvious and allow for the development of shared opportunities and solutions.Conclusions: The production of a shared conceptual framework to facilitate interprofessional curriculum development provides valuable strategies for curricular reflection, review, and forward planning.

The inclusion of health education in medical research schemes, if it happens at all, is usually after major social, behavioral, and educational problems have surfaced that threaten the success or survival of the project. Lack of collaboration arises not only from a narrowly and inappropriately conceived role for health education but also from communications barriers inherent in differing professional orientations and methodologies. A case study on malaria research in a rural Nigerian community demonstrates that health educators need to take initiative in defining a role for themselves in biomedical research, even if the opportunity may seem to come too late. Any chance for interaction provides potential for learning and understanding that will pave the way for collaboration in the future.

A extensão universitária é um componente da formação que permite uma aprendizagem teórico-prática, maximizando o ensino obtido em sala de aula. O Programa de Educação pelo Trabalho para a Saúde/PET-Saúde Interprofissionalidade é um programa que objetiva o aperfeiçoamento e a especialização em serviço e estímulo à prática colaborativa. Este estudo relata as atividades desenvolvidas por um grupo tutorial do PET-Saúde Interprofissionalidade, da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana, no primeiro ano do programa. Trata-se de um relato de experiência, desenvolvido por estudantes (bolsistas de Farmácia, Medicina e Odontologia), dois professores (tutores, com formação em Odontologia e Fisioterapia) e cinco profissionais de saúde (preceptores, sendo 4 enfermeiras e 1 cirurgiã-dentista) no município de Feira de Santana – Bahia, tendo, como cenário de prática, o Centro de Atenção ao Diabético e Hipertenso. As ações foram desenvolvidas de abril a dezembro de 2019, e tiveram os resultados sistematizados em dois eixos: promoção da integração ensino-serviço-comunidade e desenvolvimento da docência e preceptoria em saúde. No eixo 1, desenvolveram-se oficinas de capacitação, reuniões, ações interprofissionais e de educação em saúde e elaboração de procedimentos operacionais padrão. No eixo 2, as atividades desenvolvidas permitiram a aproximação dos participantes com metodologias ativas de ensino, além de estimular a construção de artigos e apresentação de trabalhos em eventos. As ações realizadas contemplaram o diagnóstico situacional, atividades formativas e de educação em saúde, além do estímulo à produção científica, propiciando a reflexão dos participantes sobre a importância do cuidado interprofissional ao paciente diabético e hipertenso. Palavras-chave: Educação Interprofissional; Universidade; Extensão Comunitária University extension and health education: tutorial group experiences in the Through Work Program in Interprofessional Health Education (PET-Health) Abstract: University extension is an educational component that allows theoretical-practical learning, maximizing classroom teaching. “Through Work Program in Interprofessional Health Education” (PET-Health) is a program that aims to improve and specialize in service and encourage collaborative practice. This study reports the activities of a PET-Health tutorial group from the Feira de Santana State University during the first year of the program. This article is an experience report developed by students (undergraduates in Pharmacy, Medicine and Dentistry), two teachers (tutors, bachelors in Dentistry and Physiotherapy), and five health professionals (tutors, four nurses, and one dentist) in the municipality of Feira de Santana (Bahia state, Brazil), with the Diabetic and Hypertensive Care Center as the practice scenario. The actions were carried out from April to December 2019, and the results were systematized in two axes: promotion of teaching-service-community integration and development of teaching and health preceptorship. In axis 1, training workshops, meetings, interprofessional and health education actions, and standard operating procedures were developed. In axis 2, the activities developed allowed the participants to approach active teaching methodologies and encourage the construction of articles and presentation of papers at events. The performed actions included the situational diagnosis, training, health education activities, and encouragement of scientific production, providing the participants to reflect on the importance of interprofessional care to diabetic and hypertensive patients.

The University

This chapter presents a framework for the development of leadership capacity in higher education institutions that is underpinned by the concept of distributed leadership; this approach focuses on the development of all members of the institution as leaders, not just those in formal leadership positions. The case study used to illustrate this approach is drawn from an initial program at a regional university in Australia. This program, known as the Faculty Scholars Program, has become embedded in practice at the university. The program empowered a group of academics, who were not in formal leadership positions, to lead key change initiatives within the institution. The chapter describes the pilot program initiated locally and how the program was expanded in 2006-2008 through funding by the Australian Learning and Teaching Council to include three other institutions, with further funding provided in 2009 to expand to two more institutions.

In 2010, the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing, the accrediting body for nursing programs in Canada, became part of the Accreditation of Interprofessional Health Education initiative. In turn, interprofessional education (IPE) is now a requirement in nursing curricula. Although the requirement is formally in place, how it is achieved varies substantially. This paper explores how IPE has been integrated within Canadian nursing programs. Implications for the continuing education of nurses and other health professionals in order to achieve excellence in interprofessional practice are also considered.

Childhood Weight

In developing an effective Chidhood weight management, it needs to be based on a theory. The Social Cognitive theory (SCT) and Urie Bronfenbrenner model with integrated Kolb's model of Learning Styles and Experiential Learning is used in this study to modify and make changes to the personal factor influences such as knowledge, attitude and expectations, behavior modification and environmental influences among overweight and obese school children. The aim of this study is to provide a new model for the professional development role of the nurses in the School Health Program (SHP) and health education promotion towards obese school children to improve their quality of life. Furthermore, in this study SHP and future health education and promotion are integrated with the role of SHN to facilitate the effective management of childhood obesity.

Illustrative Case Study

An industrial strategy emerges from possibilities for structural change, that depend on material constraints and opportunities afforded by economic structure, the distribution of power in society and the institutional arrangements organized at the political level. Building on a structural political economy perspective, this article develops a structure–power–institutions conceptual framework to describe how economic structure, the distribution of power, and institutions interact through a ‘circular process,’ which is useful for analysing the historical transformation of industrial strategy. In this framework, an industrial strategy refers to the institutional arrangements through which the government manages emerging conflicts or agreements between different powers and influences structural change. As an illustrative case study, the structure–power–institutions framework is applied to analyse the historical transformation of US industrial strategy from the era of Alexander Hamilton to that of Donald Trump.
