This is the second in a series of four interrelated Principles of Practice (POP) courses that focus on professionalism, the patient-provider relationship, the patient interview and evaluation, and, providing care that is ethical, compassionate, culturally competent and professional. The focus is on patient care in physical therapy as it relates to societal and cultural norms and mores. Social systems theory is the framework used to explore familial, social, cultural, and organizational constructs that are integral to competent and compassionate patient care. Concepts of human behavior, communication and cultural competence are integrated into the course with the understanding that these elements are central to physical therapy practice. Included are principles of social systems and systems dynamics, cultural and familial systems dynamics, organizational system dynamics, socioeconomic factors, issues of gender and age, communication in health care relationships, social health issues, chronic illness and disability from a social and cultural perspective, respecting human differences, self-reflection, reflective practice, media influences in health care, spirituality in medicine, sexuality issues, power and control, and the narrative and cultural construction of illness and healing. The APTA generic abilities and core values are used as a framework for professional behavior in both the academic and clinical environments. This course will build on material from the previous POP course.
