Introduction
Following hospitalization, older adults with complex health and social care needs are often deemed to need an “alternate level of care” (ALC) where care needs are misaligned with resources. Coordinated networks can implement integrated care programs for this group in home settings. Understanding the experiences of providers, caregivers...
Background
Errorless learning is an intervention technique used in acquired brain injury (ABI) rehabilitation. To support the use of this intervention within occupational therapy practice, it is important to know how errorless learning has been applied to (re)train daily functions.
Objectives
To describe the empirical literature on errorless learn...
Purpose:
Older adults with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) experience cognitive difficulties without objectively measurable cognitive impairments but which may affect their everyday functioning. However, everyday functioning in this population has not yet been characterized. We sought to describe the empirical literature on the everyday functio...
Background
Lay summaries (LSs) of scientific evidence are critical to sharing research with non-specialist audiences. This scoping review with a consultation exercise aimed to (1) Describe features of the available LS resources; (2) Summarize recommended LS characteristics and content; (3) Outline recommended processes to write a LS; and (4) Obtain...
Introduction
Despite growing interest among patient and public partners to engage in writing lay summaries, evidence is scarce regarding the availability of resources to support them. This protocol describes the process of conducting a scoping review to: (1) summarise the source, criteria and characteristics, content, format, intended target audien...
Purpose:
Long-term limitations in social participation are common after stroke. Whether these can be attenuated through a tele-rehabilitation approach is unknown. We were particularly interested in examining transfer of learning effects which could result in broader improvements in social participation.
Methods:
We adapted a strategy training re...
Objective
Depression is highly comorbid with traumatic brain injury (TBI) with often complex and interacting symptomology that contributes to the experience of disability. Comorbid depression results in poorer TBI rehabilitation and downstream participation outcomes yet perspectives of this group regarding person-centered care is unknown.
Purpose...
Objective: To determine how well comorbid depression is described, defined, and measured in the rehabilitation literature that pertains to TBI and depression.
Method: Scoping review of the rehabilitation sciences literature. Six databases were searched (to October 17, 2018) using the three core concepts of TBI, depression, and rehabilitation, as wa...
Objective
To examine the extent, scope, and methodological quality of rehabilitation scoping reviews.
Data sources
A comprehensive list of scoping reviews conducted in the broader health field (inception to July 2014), with a further update of that list (up to February 2017) using similar methods, including searching 9 electronic databases.
Study...
Background: The CO-OP ApproachTM has been increasingly used in research and practice, yet its critical elements and implementation challenges are largely undescribed. Obtaining therapists’ perspectives on CO-OP may reveal insights into potential critical and mediating factors.
Aim/Objective: To explore the experiences of CO-OP therapists by underst...
Objective:
To critically appraise the measurement property evidence (i.e., psychometric) for eight observation-based financial management assessment instruments.
Data sources:
Seven databases were searched in May 2015.
Study selection:
Two reviewers used an independent decision-agreement process to select studies of measurement property eviden...
Introduction
Scoping reviews are increasingly popular in rehabilitation. However, significant variability in scoping review conduct and reporting currently exists, limiting potential for the methodology to advance rehabilitation research, practice and policy. Our aim is to conduct a scoping review of rehabilitation scoping reviews in order to exami...
Impaired self-awareness related to acquired brain injury (ABI-ISA) can result in limitations in daily living activities and community participation. We hypothesise that with the appropriate interventions, outcomes for adults with ABI-ISA can be enhanced. The objectives of the study were to describe and examine critically the non-pharmacological int...
Although occupational therapists have been practicing in forensic settings for many years, there is a paucity of literature regarding the nature of this practice in Canada. The purpose of this study was to describe the practices of Canadian occupational therapists in forensic mental health. An online survey was designed based on the Canadian Practi...
