• W2938791839 abstract "Background: Groups are an integral part of everyday life. Some groups are chosen by participants whereas membership in other groups may not be an active choice. The benefits of participation in groups are widely documented, and perhaps most commonly cited are Yalomrs eleven curative factors of group therapy, examples of which include the instillation of hope and imparting of knowledge.n Groups have long been used therapeutically and are increasingly used as a context for delivery of rehabilitation interventions. Following a traumatic brain injury (TBI), rehabilitation is recommended to maximise recovery and the use of groups in TBI rehabilitation programmes is common practice, particularly in occupational therapy. TBI results in a complex variety of impairments that can interfere with an individualrs ability to participate in their life roles and activities. Therefore, groups in TBI rehabilitation may pose some unique challenges for facilitators. Currently there is limited research evidence to guide clinicians in the facilitation of groups with this population group. In addition, there is limited literature investigating key stakeholderrs perspectives of group participation in TBI rehabilitation. The purpose of this thesis is to explore processes and perspectives of participation in inpatient occupational therapy groups in TBI rehabilitation.Objectives: The aims were 1) to scope the current state of evidence regarding the use of groups in rehabilitation following TBI; 2) to explore the perspectives of patients with TBI about participation in inpatient occupational therapy groups; 3) to investigate the perspectives of clinicians from multiple rehabilitation settings about facilitation of groups with patients following TBI; and 4) to explore the nature of interactions in inpatient occupational therapy groups in TBI rehabilitation.Method: A mixed methods approach was used. The primary components of the thesis were a scoping review, focus groups with clinician participants, questionnaires and individual interviews with patient participants, and video-recordings of inpatient occupational therapy groups. A total of 46 rehabilitation inpatients recruited from the occupational therapy groups programme at the hospital participated in the study, with fifteen completing individual interviews. Twenty-two clinicians and four student clinicians who worked in inpatient occupational therapy teams in brain injury, spinal cord injury and geriatric rehabilitation settings from one hospital participated in the study. The thesis explored the experiences and perspectives of participants and was guided by a phenomenological approach. The method of qualitative analysis for focus groups was framework analysis. Thematic content analysis was utilised to analyse interview data. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse questionnaire data. Qualitative analysis guided by qualitative description was used to analyse video data.Results: The scoping review concluded that existing research about the use of groups in TBI rehabilitation consisted mostly of pre-post intervention studies that addressed specific cognitive impairments with outpatient participants. Most studies identified significant positive changes on targeted outcome measures, suggesting group interventions were effective. The findings from patient interviews and questionnaires indicated that participation in inpatient groups helped patients to learn because they felt comfortable and experienced a sense of normality.n Patients highlighted that they learned by doing activities, observing others and sharing experiences, which was particularly valuable coming from peers.n They also made practical recommendations for facilitation of groups including achieving the right mix of participants. From the perspectives of clinicians, a recurring theme that emerged was that of achieving a good fit of participants in groups. Clinicians across the three rehabilitation settings also highlighted the need for structured group formats and pre-group planning in TBI rehabilitation compared to other settings. Clinician skill and confidence particularly for managing cognitive impairments, as well as opportunities for peer support and learning were emphasised by clinicians. Video analysis of inpatient occupational therapy groups in TBI rehabilitation demonstrated that these groups were activity-based and rehabilitation-focused, and highlighted that interactions occurred predominantly between clinicians and individual participants. Clinicians were observed to use a number of strategies to encourage interaction including activity choice, physical positioning of group members, and knowledge of group participants.Conclusion: This series of studies has contributed new information to the existing body of evidence about rehabilitation following TBI, specifically regarding the use of groups. The importance of stakeholder perspectives has been highlighted, and overall participation in inpatient occupational therapy groups in TBI rehabilitation was perceived as positive by both patients and clinicians. Practical implications for facilitation of groups were identified by patients. Clinicians emphasised the importance of facilitator skills and described strategies they utilised, particularly in planning groups. They were also observed to utilise a number of strategies to encourage interactions during group facilitation. Further exploration of the nature of interactions occurring in occupational therapy TBI rehabilitation groups would enable wider understanding of what strategies facilitate peer interaction successfully in the context of these activity-based groups. The findings of these studies have been translated into a tool for use in clinical practice to guide clinicians in the facilitation of occupational therapy groups in TBI rehabilitation.n" @default.
