Definición y condiciones de aplicación
En este primer módulo veremos qué son los primeros auxilios psicológicos y para qué sirve esta técnica de intervención: qué es lo que hay que hacer para aplicar los primeros auxilios psicológicos, qué fases tiene esta técnica, dónde y cómo debe aplicarse. Al final del este módulo verá, de forma práctica, las formas correctas e incorrectas de aplicar los primeros auxilios psicológicos.
WEEK 2
PAP en niños hasta 12 años
El Módulo 2 está dedicado a cómo se aplican los primeros auxilios psicológicos en franjas de edad concretas y determinadas. Al final del módulo encontrará unos vídeos roleplaying para que pueda ver cuál es la aplicación correcta y la aplicación incorrecta de los PAP en estas franjas de edad.

WEEK 3
PAP en adolescentes y adultos
El tercer módulo se centra en las particularidades de la aplicación de los PAP en adolescentes (en la primera parte del módulo) y adultos (en la segunda parte).

WEEK 4
PAP en colectivos especialmente vulnerables
En este módulo veremos cómo adaptar lo aprendido hasta ahora, a grupos de usuarios con necesidades especiales. Veremos por ejemplo, cómo hay que variar la aplicación de los PAP cuando los destinatarios son personas con discapacidad auditiva que sólo utilizan el lenguaje de los signos, o bien personas que padecen una enfermedad mental. También veremos cómo deben modularse los PAP en función de lo que haya ocurrido. Este módulo cuenta con profesionales expertos en situaciones especiales, que exponen su experiencia profesional en vídeos en inglés con subtítulos en español.

WEEK 5
Autocuidado del interviniente
En este quinto y último módulo Ud. aprenderá a cómo cuidarse usted mismo, el proveedor de los primeros auxilios psicológicos. Qué es la resiliencia y sobre todo qué son las pautas de auto cuidado para los intervinientes y cómo es la mejor manera, la forma más eficaz de aplicar estas pautas de auto cuidado. Aprenderá también a cuidar a otros intervinientes, a otras personas que hayan participado de la gestión de un suceso crítico, ya sean profesionales o voluntarios. También en este módulo practicará y verá en un role playing cómo ayudar a personas que han sido gestores de un incidente crítico.

Voice Disorders: What Patients and Professionals Need to Know (Coursera)

Knowledge regarding vocal production physiology and management options for voice disorders have experienced rapid growth over the past 40 years. This growth has resulted in a knowledge gap amongst patients and practitioners. Entirely new subspecialties of laryngology under otolaryngology and vocology under speech-language pathology have developed in response to this gap. This MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) is designed to educated patients, allied healthcare providers, vocal trainers/coaches, general medical practitioners and otolaryngologists.

The objective of this course is to encourage a critical understanding of doping. To achieve this goal, this course will rely on a multidisciplinary approach that allow you to see how different disciplines get into a single object, in different perspectives and in often complementary ways. This approach will also allow us to appreciate the complexity of a subject like doping. Doping in sports is a complex practice whose definition and identification is the result of socially and historically constructed norms. This course offers to shed light on the processes that led to the use and prohibition of doping substances.

Diagnosing Health Behaviors for Global Health Programs (Coursera)

Health behavior lies at the core of any successful public health intervention. While we will examine the behavior of individual in depth in this course, we also recognize by way of the Ecological Model that individual behavior is encouraged or constrained by the behavior of families, social groups, communities, organizations and policy makers. We recognize that behavior change is not a simplistic process but requires an understanding of dimensions like frequency, complexity and cultural congruity. Such behavioral analysis is strengthened through the use of a toolkit of theoretical models and practical frameworks.

Design and Interpretation of Clinical Trials (Coursera)

Clinical trials are experiments designed to evaluate new interventions to prevent or treat disease in humans. The interventions evaluated can be drugs, devices (e.g., hearing aid), surgeries, behavioral interventions (e.g., smoking cessation program), community health programs (e.g. cancer screening programs) or health delivery systems (e.g., special care units for hospital admissions). We consider clinical trials experiments because the investigators rather the patients or their doctors select the treatment the patients receive.
