Video 3 ICF and the Case Study Assignment v3

Summary

In this video, Kathy Tinus provides an overview of the case study assignment for students, emphasizing the importance of using the International Classification of Functioning (ICF) framework. The first part of the case study involves writing a narrative about a person with a chosen clinical condition, incorporating ICF components such as impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions. The second section focuses on defining the health professional's role, suggesting an intervention, and assessing risks, with references required. The final section highlights the interdisciplinary approach, asking students to identify the role of another health professional in the team, again incorporating ICF terminology.

Takeaways

• 😀 Section 1 requires you to write a narrative case study using ICF components to describe a person with a clinical condition, demonstrating your understanding of the framework.
• 😀 In Section 1, you must use terms like body structure and function, activity limitations, participation restrictions, personal factors, and environmental factors to explain how the condition affects the person's life.
• 😀 The case study in Section 1 should be around 200 words (approximately three-quarters of a page, double-spaced) and does not require any references as it’s a personal creation.
• 😀 You can change your clinical condition from the previous assignment if desired, but you will need to research and understand the new condition from scratch.
• 😀 Section 2 requires defining your role as a health professional and describing one intervention that could help the person with the clinical condition.
• 😀 In Section 2, you must explain which component of the ICF your chosen intervention targets and identify any risks associated with the intervention, along with two risk-minimizing strategies.
• 😀 References are required in Section 2, especially when defining your role, describing the intervention, identifying the ICF component it targets, and discussing risks and risk minimization strategies.
• 😀 An intervention in Section 2 can be a treatment, activity, project, or program, depending on your health professional role (e.g., for public health professionals, it could be a program).
• 😀 Section 3 is focused on interprofessional collaboration. You need to describe the role of another health professional involved in the case and explain which ICF components their role targets.
• 😀 References are also required in Section 3 to support your description of another health professional’s role and the ICF components they address.

Q & A

What is the focus of the video presented by Kathy Tinus?

The focus of the video is on the International Classification of Functioning (ICF) and how it will be used in the case study assignment for students. The video explains the assignment's structure and the importance of using ICF terminology.

How is the first assignment related to the case study assignment?

The first assignment, which involves researching a clinical condition, provides a foundation for the case study. It allows students to gain a basic understanding of a clinical condition, which they will later use to write a narrative case study in the second assignment.

What are the key components that need to be included in the case study?

In the case study, students must use ICF components, including levels of functioning (body structure and function, activity limitations, participation restrictions), and consider personal and environmental factors.

What format should the case study take, and how long should it be?

The case study should be written in a narrative form, similar to a storytelling format, and be approximately 200 words in length. It does not require referencing, as it is a personal creation by the student.

Can students change the clinical condition they chose for the first assignment?

Yes, students can change the clinical condition for the case study assignment, but they must start from scratch in researching the new condition and adjusting their case study accordingly.

What does section two of the case study assignment involve?

Section two involves defining the student's role as a health professional, identifying an intervention they might offer the patient, and explaining what component of the ICF their intervention targets. It also requires identifying potential risks associated with the intervention and suggesting strategies to minimize those risks.

What is the importance of referencing in section two of the case study?

Section two requires referencing because students need to support their definition of the health professional's role, describe the intervention, identify ICF components, and explain risks and risk minimization strategies with credible sources.

What is meant by the term 'intervention' in the case study?

An intervention can refer to a treatment, activity, or project designed to support the person with the clinical condition. For non-direct service providers, such as public health officers or managers, an intervention might be a program or service.

What should students do when identifying the role of another health professional in section three?

In section three, students need to describe the role of another health professional working with the patient and specify what ICF components their role targets. This section focuses on interprofessional collaboration.

What type of references should be used in the case study assignments?

Students should use scholarly publications for sections two and three. If websites are used, they must be credible sources from government or educational institutions.
