Instructions:
Students will be provided with a case study. The individual in this case study will present with health issues and health compromising behaviours. Students are required to identify these. Healthenhancingstrategies such as mindfulness and resilience that can improve the individual’s social, emotional and psychological wellbeing are to be recommended.
A successful case study analyses a real-life situation where existing problems need tobe solved. Subject content and theory need to be applied to the practical situation; for example, apply the ideas and knowledge discussed in course material to the practical situation at hand in the case study.
It should:
- Identify the main health compromising behaviours and issues affecting the individual’s wellbeing (include social, emotional and psychological) and explain with evidence how these are detrimental to wellbeing.
- Suggest solutions and interventions to these major issues and support with research and evidence why they would be beneficial.
- Consider how the theories and content covered in the subject could be applied.
- Recommend the best interventions to be implemented. Detail how theseinterventions could be implemented.
- Apply the relevant or appropriate health behaviour theories and relate to any appropriate guidelines (eg Australian physical activity guidelines).
