Information About REHB3001 This is a core topic for the Bachelor of Health Sciences Master of Occupational Therapy and Bachelor of Health Sciences Master of Physiotherapy.

TOPIC DESCRIPTION This topic focuses on the patient/client journey in rehabilitation including the adjustment process and the effect of social support networks. The concepts of disability, normality, progress and social ideology in rehabilitation will be considered. Rehabilitation processes in different areas including neurological, aged care and orthopaedic rehabilitation across the lifespan will be described. The topic will also cover how to engage clients/patients in rehabilitation including the application of self-efficacy related theories and positive psychology principles.

AIMS The aim of this topic is to extend the student’s knowledge of rehabilitation principles, in particular developing their ability to understand the client/patient journey in rehabilitation and the personal, social and environmental contexts that facilitate or act as barriers to positive adaptation and growth.

LEARNING OUTCOMES At the completion of this topic students will be able to: 1. Describe the personal and social aspects that impact on the rehabilitation process for individuals 2. Identify key aspects that contribute to an individual’s positive adaptation through a rehabilitation process, including personal aspects (such as coping strategies) and social and environmental factors 3. Differentiate the emphasis and approach of different rehabilitation environments across the lifespan 4. Describe self-efficacy related theories related to health behaviour change and positive adaptation and apply these within a case scenario

EXPECTATIONS This first 6 weeks of the topic cover theories associated with rehabilitation. The second half of the semester will look at various rehabilitation environments and will require you to apply concepts from the first 6 weeks into practical scenarios. Topics will be taught by different members of the teaching team and guest lecturers.

demonstrate your applied understanding of an individual’s journey through the rehabilitation process.

WRITTEN EXAM The written examination in exam week at the end of semester will be centrally scheduled and administered by the University’s Examination Office. The written examination will require you to apply the knowledge you have learnt over the semester to an individuals’ lived experience. More information will be provided as the semester continues.

ATTENDANCE Attendance in class tutorials is a required component of this topic. Students will be expected to attend all 13 tutorials; however, attendance at 12/13 tutorials is required to attain a pass grade. Students who do not achieve this will be required to provide evidence of illness or pressing circumstances that has limited attendance and will be required to complete additional work.

Additional Assignment Information SUBMISSION Assignments are to be submitted by the due date via FLO (Flinders Learning Online) as per the guidelines on the assignment information sheet.

It is the student’s responsibility to know how to use the FLO assignment submission facility, problems submitting is not a valid reason for a late submission. If you require help, contact the FLO helpdesk directly: FLO Student Help Desk, call 8201 5378 or 1800 200 292, email [email protected], or visit level 1 of the Central Library.

Please approach the topic coordinator in a timely manner to discuss any issues related to meeting assessment deadlines. I am here to support you and will try to be as flexible as possible. Requests for extensions will be considered on a case by case basis.

WORD COUNT The word count includes everything in the introduction, body and conclusion of the assignment and headings. This includes tables, charts, figures and in-text referencing. Only the reference list and cover sheet are excluded from the word count.

Once the word limit has been reached the assignment will not be read any further and the assignment will be marked based on the material to that point.

SUBMISSION You are required to submit your assignment in word format. The word limit will be checked. If you don’t submit in this form you will be emailed and reminded to submit as a word document. FLO help desk is available for support if you are having difficulty with this.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY Text matching software (Turnitin) will be made available to you to raise awareness about and monitor academic integrity. It works by checking your assignment drafts for text matching against the Internet, electronic databases and other students' work. It then produces a Similarity Report which indicates the percentage amount of matching text in the assignment draft, with links to the matching text.

Such software can be very useful in highlighting issues about using other people’s work. Please be aware that the software is merely text matching software. It is a tool which assists you and teaching staff in discussing what is appropriate matching and what is not. It is highly likely your assignment will show some text matching as many times it is unavoidable. Of course, what is inappropriate, is copying web sites or other people's work and passing it off as your own. Staff are aware of this and will be able to talk it through with you. Also, the Student Learning Centre will be able to help. See the Academic Integrity at Flinders site in your list of FLO topics for more information. Information

has also been placed on FLO regarding how to submit assignments into Turnitin. Please see the FLO Helpdesk if you have difficulty with this.

It is important to know that University policy outlines that you must be able to access the electronic text matching software as an educational tool prior to submitting your work for marking. This access must also include access to the results of the matching process to assist with revision of the work. Staff can also see the reports.

Staff will look at those reports when marking your assignment, to assist with determining if plagiarism (either intentional or unintentional) is present. This will be used for all assignments.
