Objetivos de aprendizagem

At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to assess health and lifestyle behaviors and prescribe effective strategies for effective lifestyle behavior change, simply and within the context of a typical physical therapy visit. Objectives include:

  1. The rationale for physical therapists being leaders in healthy living and health behavior change regardless of practice setting 
  2. The relevance of the International Classification of Function, Disability and Health as a basis for health focused care and the World Health Organization definition of health
  3. Health measurement and its unique features
  4. Behavior change theories and their applications
  5. Measures and measuring health behaviors (smoking, nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress, alcohol)
  6. The importance of ‘effect size’ (dose response relationship) in the context of health behavior change with reference to smoking cessation, healthy nutrition, healthy weight, being physically active, sleeping well, and stress management
  7. Tools for assessing motivation and self-efficacy
  8. The fundamentals of motivational interviewing, cognitive behavior therapy, behavior therapy, feedback strategies, the 5 A’s and the 5 R’s
  9. The need for a multipronged approach to addressing NCDs ranging from government policy, health professional bodies, health professional education programs, research, as well as clinicians; and inter-professional core competencies in health assessment and behavior change

 

Conteúdos programáticos

Healthy living practices maximize health throughout the life cycle as well as constitute first-line interventions to prevent lifestyle-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs) (e.g., cardiovascular conditions, chronic lung conditions, cerebrovascular conditions, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, and some cancers), reverse them in some cases, as well as manage them. In addition, the risk factors for NCDs are those for musculoskeletal conditions, conditions most frequently managed by physical therapists. This workshop focuses on health care or health practice based on the World Health Organization definition of health; health care is distinct from conventional biomedical illness care (often erroneously termed health care). It focuses on health practice (theory and application) as clinical competencies for physical therapists, and its implementation in mainstream primary care. Standard health competencies for physical therapists are described in relation to smoking cessation, maximal nutrition, weight control, physical activity and exercise promotion, and stress management. These competencies need to be integrated into standard physical therapy management of all patients regardless of their presenting diagnoses and conditions. The literature with respect to maximizing health through healthy living (individual and societal levels) is presented, and the impact of a health focus in people who are ill, disabled or injured, as well as those who are free of illness conditions is described. Finally, the impact of individual health on collective societal health is discussed.

 

Metodologias de ensino

Through a series of case studies and small and large group discussions, participants will be able to identify the impact of lifestyle behavior change on symptom eradication or reduction in their patients with the assurance of improved long-term health and functioning.
