Constructing undergraduate programs of exercise rehabilitation and health in the context of health services:an ICF and RCF approach
Objective To analyze the disciplinary knowledge structure and core competency requirements of exercise rehabilitation and health professionals,based on the World Health Organization(WHO)International Classification of Func-tioning,Disability,and Health(ICF)and the rehabilitation competency framework(RCF),and to identify the key knowledge,skills,and professional qualities required by professionals in the field of health and rehabilitation,thus providing theoretical foundations for the cultivation of high-quality rehabilitation talent.Methods Based on the WHO Global Competency Framework for Universal Health Coverage,this study adopted the the-ories and methods of ICF and RCF to systematically analyze the disciplinary knowledge,skills,five core compe-tency domains,and beliefs and values of exercise rehabilitation and health professionals.This analysis identified the competency framework and content required for these professionals,and provided theoretical support for the development of exercise rehabilitation and health educational programs.Results From the perspective of health services,this study integrated sports into the four aspects of the health service continuum:prevention,intervention,rehabilitation and health promotion.Exercise rehabilitation and wellness was an applied discipline related to health services,with a focus on prevention,rehabilitation and health promo-tion.It was a multidisciplinary,interdisciplinary and comprehensive field that encompassed knowledge related to physical education and sports sciences,health sciences,rehabilitation sciences,public health,and health manage-ment.The ICF,as a scientific framework for understanding and describing health,functioning and disability,pro-vided an important foundation for the construction of this disciplinary system.Based on the WHO global compe-tency framework and RCF,this study constructed a core competency framework for exercise rehabilitation and health professionals.According to the disciplinary knowledge system and professional competency framework,this study established an educational objective system for undergraduate education program of exercise rehabilita-tion and health.The overall objective was to cultivate,within the framework of comprehensive health service model,interdisciplinary practitioners who possessed health service knowledge and skills,and were equipped with the competence and professional qualities to engage in physical education,sports and health services.Graduates would be able to provide diverse and high-quality physical education,sports and health services to various popu-lations in a multidisciplinary team.Furthermore,they would possess the potential for professional development and be able to enhance their professional practice,learning and research abilities through further education or continuing education.Conclusion The establishment of the exercise rehabilitation and health major is a response to the growing demand for in-terdisciplinary professionals in the sports and health service industry.From the perspective of disciplinary devel-opment,this field is a result of the interdisciplinary integration of sports science,health science,rehabilitation sci-ence,and health management.Based on the conceptual framework of the ICF,this study has constructed a func-tioning-based exercise rehabilitation and health disciplinary system,integrating the multidisciplinary achieve-ments of physical education and sports sciences,rehabilitation sciences,health sciences,and health promotion.Based on RCF,it has established a core competency framework for exercise rehabilitation and health profession-als,providing competency standards for the development of education program of exercise rehabilitation and health.
