Not much fun having an exam on a Saturday, for students sitting it, or for the academic who has to be in early to oversee it...
Never mind, they've just finished so I can reveal the sort of questions our students consider on the MSc Health Psych programme. Here are the questions students were answering in today's paper:
Is it possible to distinguish clearly between a chronic illness and a disability?
Discuss with respect to the assumptions and emphases of at least two theoretical models used by health psychologists.
How can psychologists contribute to the management of chronic pain?
What is the place of patient-reported outcomes within health psychology?
Discuss with respect to the relative roles of objective and subjective measures of health status, and their strengths and limitations.
What does research tell us about the psychosocial impact of stroke?
How might this be applied to stroke rehabilitation?
Discuss the role health psychologists might play in improving end of life care, and the contextual factors they need to take into account when applying psychological models.
In what sense are the psychosocial issues faced by people with chronic health conditions generic? Critically discuss the extent to which similar psychosocial issues arise for people with a range of chronic conditions.
Successful graduates of our programme are already applying health psychology to improve experiences and outcomes for people with long term conditions.
