Applied Psychosocial and Medical Rehab
REHB5061
This unit provides students with an insight into: the social position and life experiences of disabled people from their own perspective; and the functional implications of chronic illness and disability. Students critically analyse models of psychosocial adaption to illness and disability and explore the relationships between adjustment and adaptation, emotional reactions to chronic disease and disability, coping strategies and quality of life. Upon completion of this unit, students should have an increased understanding of the psychosocial, medical and functional aspects of chronic illness and disability. This understanding will improve the effectiveness of their service delivery to disabled people, leading to more positive rehabilitation outcomes.
