- ItemMetadata onlyBeyond the VO2 max: the role of self-belief in elite athletic performance(2011) Noakes, TimIn the past Prof. Tim Noakes was convinced that physiology could explain performance. After 38 years of studying the human body, he now believes that the mind, and the role of self-belief, are crucial factors in human athletic feats. In January 2008, Noakes presented this lecture entitled “Beyond the VO2 max: The role of self-belief in elite athletic performance” at Croke Park Stadium, Dublin. This lecture explores how success in sports ranging from extreme cold water swimming to World Cup rugby are linked by a common thread - the role of self-belief.

- ItemOpen AccessCare Through Family: a conceptual model of children’s nursing care(2021) North, Natasha; Leonard, Angela; Bonaconsa, Candice; Coetzee, MinetteThis project aimed to work with nurses to describe and document their practice. Nurse researchers from CNPDI worked with five teams of nurses in diverse paediatric settings in southern Africa to develop detailed descriptions of how nurses involve families in the care of their hospitalised child. We observed care and interviewed nurses and families to develop detailed descriptions of practice. We used visual research methods including graphic facilitation, sociograms and photographic elicitation to construct a detailed picture of routines, activities and environments. Holistic accounts of ‘real’ nursing practices were constructed through 1:1 and group interviews, exploring the underlying rationales and values. Comprehensive case study reports were produced for each setting and reviewed by key nurse participants. Together, researchers and nurses developed statements reflecting the model of care. After analysis of the data we constructed a description of nursing practice in the form of a model of nursing care which we call ‘Care Through Family’. The model is ordered around six themes. Each theme has a guiding principle, in the form of an illustrative statement reflecting the philosophies of care observed. Implementation of the model is supported by a self-assessment tool to guide nursing teams through a facilitated process of reflection and further practice development.
- ItemOpen AccessClimate change and health in the SADC region(2010) Young, T; Tucker, T; Galloway, M; Manyike, P; Chapman, A; Myers, JThe draft review examines the link between climate change and health with special reference to the Southern African region (SADC countries). It attempts to set the scene for determining pertinent research priorities in the region to contribute to knowledge on the one hand, and for identification, implementation and evaluation of adaptation interventions that are likely to be appropriate and effective in the region. This review has been conducted by Strategic Evaluation, Advisory and Development Consulting (SEAD), a health consultancy together with the COEHR, and is part of the Regional Climate Change Programme (RCPP) led by One World Sustainable Investments. While this is currently a research work which outlines research and development objectives, it is envisaged that much of the material reviewed is also suitable for inclusion in teaching - particularly postgraduate teaching at University Masters level.

- ItemOpen AccessA clinical educator’s guide to understanding and facilitating the clinical reasoning process(2017) Talberg, Heather; Camroodien-Surve, FatemahDeveloping Clinical Reasoning is an important part of the training of Undergraduate Health and Rehabilitation students. However, a lack of consensus amongst Educators on how to facilitate this, often hampers student progress. This booklet was designed to give Clinical Educators a brief overview on strategies to assist students in developing Clinical Reasoning. Based on the ‘Making thinking Visible’ approach, it guides Clinical Educators in how to make their own reasoning processes more explicit to students, so that they can learn from their more expert thinking practices.
- ItemOpen AccessClinical Skills Examination Procedures: Afrikaans & Xhosa(2014-09-12) Dept of Family MedicineThe training resource is presented through video and audio in isiXhosa and Afrikaans, and covers the general examination, abdominal examination, respiratory examination and cardiovascular examination. The material here was prepared for medical students learning about clinical examination techniques as part of the Clinical Skills Programme in the Department of Medicine at UCT. Physical examination techniques: The techniques of physical examination are in themselves simple, and easy to master. All that is necessary is that you observe carefully, pay attention to detail, and practice repeatedly. Physicians do vary in their techniques of examination. Shown here are a single set of techniques which are both simple to employ and reliable. Your tutors may however make use of slightly different techniques themselves. We suggest that, initially at least, you learn to use the techniques shown here confidently, so as not to become confused. Practice of your examination technique is essential, and you need to see as many patients who demonstrate abnormal physical signs as possible so that you can learn to recognise them. The following material is covered under the four examinations General Examination: preparing the patient for examination, describing the patient’s appearance, looking for pointers to the problem around the bedside, examination for general features of illness, examination for features of specific illnesses, taking the pulse, assessing warmth, perfusion, hydration and temperature, inspecting the hands, eyes, mouth and pharynx, looking for lymphadenopathy, and inspecting the legs. Abdominal Examination: preparing the patient for the examination, looking for some signs of abdominal disease on a focused “general” examination, inspecting the abdomen, light palpation for areas of tenderness, detecting peritonism, determining the position and size of the liver by percussion and palpation, determining the position and size of the spleen by percussion and palpation, confirming the presence of ascites, other features of portal hypertension, examining the iliac fossae and suprapubic region, detecting enlarged kidneys, identifying other abdominal masses, and listening for bowel sounds. Respiratory examination: preparing the patient for the examination, looking for some signs of respiratory disease on a focused general examination, looking at the pattern of breathing, assessing the degree of expansion of the chest and its symmetry by inspection and by palpation, assessing the position of the trachea, percussing the chest for dullness and resonance, listening to the breath sounds by auscultation. Cardio vascular examination: getting your patient into the right position, general assessment, assess the pulse, measure the blood pressure, measure the jugular venous pressure, palpation of the praecordium, palpation of the apex, auscultation of the heart, and look for signs of heart failure. Translation and augmentation: Becoming a Doctor (BaDr) team Original English version: Department of Medicine The project was funded by the South Africa-Norway Tertiary Education Development Programme (SANTED) and facilitated by the Centre for Higher Education Development (CHED).

They each include recommendations about how to develop capacity. The assessment reports are from Ghana, South Africa, Tanzania, Kenya and Nigeria, and there are also comparative assessments with guidance on how to approach the needs assessment. CHEPSAA (the Consortium for Health Policy & Systems Analysis in Africa) works to develop the emerging field of health policy and systems research and analysis (HPSR+A) in Africa through harnessing synergies among a consortium of African and European universities.
- ItemRestrictedCore Elements of an Activity Analysis in Occupational Therapy(2015-12-21) Ramafikeng, MatumoAn activity analysis is a tool used by Occupational Therapists to assess suitability of an activity for use in treatment to facilitate attainment of therapy outcomes. Knowledge of activity analysis and developing the skill of conducting one is regarded as an important competency in Occupational Therapy. The Occupational Therapy students are introduced to activity analysis in the first year of study and then continue to accumulate more knowledge of the tool through overt instruction and application in an assignment in second year.
