Summary
A new One Health (OH) curriculum significantly improved knowledge among health professionals in Jordan. Post-training scores increased substantially, demonstrating the curriculum's effectiveness in enhancing understanding of the OH approach.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Veterinary Medicine
- Environmental Health
Background:
- Jordan is implementing the One Health (OH) approach, necessitating increased awareness among health professionals.
- A need was identified for a structured OH curriculum to orientate human, animal, and environmental health officials.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the development and piloting of a One Health (OH) curriculum in Jordan.
- To assess the effectiveness of the OH curriculum in improving knowledge among health professionals.
Main Methods:
- Developed a four-section OH curriculum with PowerPoint presentations and learning objectives.
- Conducted four-day workshops for four participant cohorts from various OH sectors.
- Assessed knowledge gain using pre- and post-chapter multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and analyzed score differences.
Main Results:
- Post-training scores (80-87%) were significantly higher than pre-training scores (29-36%) across all cohorts (p < 0.05).
- Knowledge gain ranged from 34% to 62% per section, with an overall average gain of 50% across all participants.
- Significant improvements in understanding the OH concept and approach were observed.
Conclusions:
- The developed One Health curriculum effectively improved understanding among diverse health officials in Jordan.
- The curriculum serves as a valuable tool for enhancing OH collaboration and implementation.

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...
