DESCRIPTION AND CONTEXTUALIZATION OF THE SUBJECT

Given the prevalence of chronic diseases in developed countries, the aim of this subject is to study in depth the risk factors of these diseases, learning to assess them, as well as their impact on the health of different population groups.

COMPETENCIES / LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE SUBJECT

General Competencies:148, 153

- GC 148: Promote healthy lifestyles, self-care, supporting the maintenance of preventive and therapeutic behaviours.

- GC 153: Establish evaluation mechanisms, considering scientific-technical and quality aspects.

Specific skills: 75, 77, 87

- SC 75: Know and assess the nutritional needs of healthy people and those with health problems throughout the life cycle, in order to promote and reinforce healthy eating habits.

- SC 77: Learn the pathophysiological processes and their manifestations and the risk factors that determine the states of health and disease in the different stages of the life cycle.

- SC 87: Identify the factors related to health and the problems of the environment, in order to attend to people in situations of health and illness as members of a community. Apply the necessary methods and procedures in their field to identify the most relevant health problems in a community.

Cross-cutting skills: Effective oral communication.

Learning Outcomes: To develop the necessary skills to detect and prevent unhealthy lifestyle habits in the population. Know the necessary tools to identify social habits. Properly apply the instruments available to correct the defects detected.

METHODOLOGY

1.- Seminar work and laboratory practicals: group work.

2.- Oral presentation of written work

3.- Examination

Assignments must be submitted on the date and in the format indicated by each teacher. In order to pass the course, it will be necessary to have passed 50% of each of the parts. Those who do not participate in the classes will be entitled to a final exam.

• Final Assessment System
• Tools and qualification percentages:
  • Written test to be taken (%): 70
  • Oral defense (%): 10
  • Team projects (problem solving, project design)) (%): 20

ORDINARY ASSESSMENT SESSION: GUIDELINES AND OPTING OUT

Assessment System:

Skills and qualification (%).

1.- S. and LP work. SC: 75, 77, 87 (20%)

2.- Oral presentation of the written work. TC (10%)

3.- Examination. SC: 75, 77, 87 (70%)

EXTRAORDINARY EXAMS: ORIENTATIONS

The assessment of the subjects in the extraordinary exams will be carried out exclusively through the final assessment system. The final assessment test of the extraordinary exam will consist of the assessment tests that are necessary to evaluate and measure the defined learning outcomes, in a similar way to how they were assessed in the ordinary call. The passing grades obtained by students during the course may be maintained.

COMPULSORY MATERIALS
Articles, methods and resources described in classes, seminars and classroom practice. Material will be available on the E-GELA platform.
