- Abstract
The foregoing suggests the need for professional education in appropriate knowledge, roles, skills and attitudes. Indeed, the World Health Organization (1984, 1985) recommended changes in professional training, internationally and nationally, to enable health professionals to develop knowledge and understanding of self-help groups. Hence, pertinent content should be included in health professional curricula. If one function of curriculum content is to teach students about professional practice and thereby to improve the quality of professional praxis, there is a need to assess curriculum content to determine whether or not appropriate didactic and experiential elements are incorporated.
