Document Summary

Introduction to illness, impairment and disability: introduction. Because of the nature of chronic illness and disability, health care professionals need to envision a patient holistically and be aware of the patient"s concerns and the impact his/her lifestyle may have on treatment decisions. The goal of this course is to allow students to learn about, investigate, and experience the whys of patient behaviour. One of the keys in providing successful health care is to establish rapport and build relationships with patients. Patient behaviours also are important to understand in treating a patient. It is essential that the health professional knows the correct therapy for the patient, but it is just as important to know how to facilitate behaviour change. Part of this is learning about the patient and his/her experiences. This course was designed to help students learn about patients and their experiences in the health care system. A patient does not experience his/her illness in isolation.
