A Self-Directed Instructional Manual for Health Professionals

Abstract

In this project the author establishes that health teaching is a major function of all health professionals, but very little emphasis is given on teaching-learning principles in their curricula. Based on literature review the author develops a self-directed instructional manual for health professionals. Teaching-learning principles with examples are introduced throughout the manual. Twelve health professionals from medicine, nursing, occupational and physiotherapy have evaluated the manual for its content and process.
