Learning outcomes

L’insegnamento si propone di far acquisire agli studenti conoscenze e strumenti per identificare i bisogni della comunità, riconoscere i diversi modelli di welfare e correlarli alle modificazioni sociali ed epidemiologiche. Approfondire le tematiche della promozione ed educazione alla salute. MODULO METODOLOGIE AVANZATE DI EDUCAZIONE ALLA SALUTE Obiettivi formativi:  sviluppare competenze nell’ambito dell’educazione alla salute al fine di promuovere sani stili di vita  analizzare i concetti e strategie di promozione della salute, educazione alla salute, educazione sanitaria  analizzare i modelli teorici che incidono sulla scelta degli stili di vita e sulla motivazione al cambiamento  approfondire alcune fasi di progettazione (analisi dei bisogni e pianificazione degli obiettivi) di un intervento di educazione terapeutica. MODULO SANITA’ PUBBLICA Obiettivi formativi:  individuare gli strumenti per l’analisi dei bisogni di salute della popolazione 3  analizzare i percorsi per la raccolta dei dati e gli strumenti di valutazione dei dati stessi. MODULO SOCIOLOGIA DELLA FAMIGLIA E DELLE RETI ASSISTENZIALI Obiettivi formativi: Il modulo si pone l’obiettivo di fornire conoscenze atte a ricondurre il tema della riforma dei sistemi di welfare all’interno dei più rilevanti processi di cambiamento sociale, che hanno investito la società europea e in particolare la società italiana. Il modulo si pone l’obiettivo di sviluppare la capacità di un’analisi critica dei cambiamenti intervenuti nel mercato del lavoro, nelle famiglie, nella struttura demografica della popolazione e di evidenziarne i nessi critici e i rapporti di interdipendenza, ai fini della transizione verso nuovi modelli di welfare.
