A perspective-taking university course for cancer survivors, loved ones and healthcare professionals
(2024) In Social Sciences & Humanities Open 2024(9).- Abstract
- This study reports the results of a university course aimed at exploring and improving cooperation in healthcare with both cancer survivors, loved ones and healthcare professionals as students.
Central to the course was the understanding of and moving between each other's perspectives. Operating within a framework inspired by problem-based learning (PBL), small groups consisting of at least one cancer survivor, one loved one and one healthcare professional, collaboratively created scenarios based on their personal experiences. The students developed, elaborated, and identified problems and potential solutions. The pedagogical framing illustrated an empowering process of defining and elaborating a problem of their combined...

Although cooperation presented challenges, most students were able to explore and appreciate each other's perspectives when provided with a safe environment. Our experiences highlight the importance of both contextual safety and personal development as key factors in addressing power imbalances in healthcare. (Less) - Abstract (Swedish)
- Denna studie redovisar resultaten av en universitetskurs som syftar till att utforska och förbättra samarbetet inom vården med både canceröverlevare, anhöriga och vårdpersonal som studenter.
Centralt i kursen var förståelsen för och att röra sig mellan varandras perspektiv. Genom att arbeta inom ramar inspirerade av problembaserat lärande (PBL), skapade små grupper bestående av minst en canceröverlevare, en anhörig och en vårdpersonal tillsammans scenarier baserade på sina personliga erfarenheter.

Centralt i kursen var förståelsen för och att röra sig mellan varandras perspektiv. Genom att arbeta inom ramar inspirerade av problembaserat lärande (PBL), skapade små grupper bestående av minst en canceröverlevare, en anhörig och en vårdpersonal tillsammans scenarier baserade på sina personliga erfarenheter. Studenterna utvecklade, fördjupade och identifierade problem och potentiella lösningar. Den pedagogiska inramningen illustrerade en stärkande process för att definiera och utveckla ett problem med deras gemensamma angelägenheter, med hjälp av deras olika kunskaper. Även om samarbete innebar utmaningar kunde de flesta elever utforska och uppskatta varandras perspektiv när de försågs med en säker miljö. Våra erfarenheter lyfter fram vikten av både kontextuell säkerhet och personlig utveckling som nyckelfaktorer för att komma till rätta med maktobalanser i vården. (Less)
