Produktinformationen zu „Problem-Based Learning for Health Improvement (PDF)“
Improving the health of the population requires a public health perspective. We have written this book to demonstrate its nature. Improving the population's health is the occupational raison d'etre of public health professionals. However, because the population's health is affected by all facets of society's activities (see Figure A), possessing a public health perspective is relevant to a wide variety of other professions and disciplines. Although doctors and nurses, social workers, teachers, etc., work with individuals, this book provides new insights for them to consider individuals within the wider context and offers increased possibilities for problem solving. For example, poor living conditions adversely affect school- work, dysfunctional families militate against a patient's recovery and fear of violence on a housing estate limits the social life of an older person, which in turn creates isolation, loneliness and health deterioration. Given this broader perspective, the solution to a problem may lie in improving the wider environment rather than focusing on the symptoms exhibited by the individual. Taking a public health perspective therefore increases the opportunities for improving the population's health and well-being. We aim to demonstrate to readers, through practical examples, the network of knowledge and skills required to tackle the challenges that daily confront all professionals concerned with people's health. Each chapter is devoted to exploring one of the ten areas of public health competence as defined by the Faculty of Public Health Medicine.1 This has been achieved using a problem- based, self-directed learning model. Each of the chapter authors was given a broad brief but with some leeway and licence in how they presented their work. This reflects the reality of public health practice. Foreward.
Autoren-Porträt von John Cornell, Frada Eskin
John Cornell qualified in Manchester in 19 75. After training in surgery, he trained in general practice and became a principal in Sheffield in 1984. He entered public health in 1994 and was appointed Consultant in Public Health Medicine in Doncaster in 1998. He was appointed as Director of Public Health to Doncaster Central Primary Care Trust (PCT) in 2002. His main areas of activity are implementing locally the Coronary Heart Disease National Framework, Caldicott implementation in primary care and developing the public health functions of the PCT. Frada Eskin qualified in medicine at the University of Sheffield in 1960. She chose to make her medical career in the field of public health. After being appointed to various posts in public health in Sheffield and in Derbyshire, she left public health practice in 1975 to run a Department of Health-funded National Continuing Education Unit based in the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine in the medical school at Manchester University, where she spent the next 14 years as director of the unit. During this time she developed expertise in management education and personal development, which she was able to integrate into public health medicine training. She returned to work in the NHS in 1989 as consultant in public health medicine at Yorkshire Health and then as Deputy Director of Public Health for Sheffield Health Authority, from where she retired in July 2001. She has published widely on a variety of public health topics, management and personal development, including two books and a substantial number of papers.Bibliographische Angaben
