摘要:

Self‐assessed functional ability of patients with arthritis was measured prior to their participation in a 6‐day inpatient arthritis rehabilitation program. Self‐assessed functional ability was rechecked at discharge and again at the follow‐up, which took place 5 to 10 weeks after discharge. Patients at five different centers completed the modified Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) at admission (n= 97) and again at discharge (n= 95). Thirty‐six of those patients completed the follow‐up questionnaire. The disability index was significantly lower at discharge than at admission and significantly lower at follow‐up than at discharge. Pain severity was significantly lower at discharge than at admission but was not significantly different at follow‐up than at discharge. McNemar's test, a modification of the standard chi‐square, was used to compare patients' reliance on the assistance of others to perform functional tasks at admission versus at discharge. Reliance on others for help was significantly lower on discharge than on admission for grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reaching, and gripping/opening. This study concludes that participation in the inpatient rehabilitation program significantly reduced disability, pain, and the need for assis

摘要:

Spinal cord injured (SCI) persons often experience chronic pain. Methods of dealing with pain that the SCI client found helpful in the past may not be beneficial after the injury. This article describes a study of self‐medication for the purpose of pain relief. Over‐the‐counter, prescription, or illicit drugs or alcohol are among the agents employed in self‐medication. The rehabilitation nurse has a role in helping the SCI person to identify appropriate methods of managing chronic pain througho

摘要:

The authors conducted a study to examine nurse and patient perceptions of self‐care and the performance of self‐care in rehabilitation settings. The grounded‐theory method was used to conduct and analyze in‐depth interviews of 12 nurses and 12 rehabilitation patients. Every nurse and every patient had expectations regarding who would control each aspect of the patient's self‐care. When these expectations were noncongruent, negotiation usually occurred. Successful negotiation resulted in a balance of self‐care, the optimal balance between nurse and pati

摘要:

The family plays an important role in facilitating positive rehabilitation outcomes with a disabled client. Thus, families must be involved in the rehabilitation process. For this to occur, the nurse must identify the characteristics of the family unit. This article presents a framework that supports the assessment of the family unit.

摘要:

This article, drawing on data from 17 case studies, addresses problems in documentation of discharge planning in an Australian multidisciplinary rehabilitation center and the ways these were, or could be, overcome. The problems identified in the case studies were not specific to one discipline; they were due to inadequately defined guidelines and responsibility and poorly designed forms, and they possibly reflected the tendency for members of practice‐oriented disciplines to see documentation as low on their list of prioritie

摘要:

The role of the family is regarded as one of the key variables influencing rehabilitation outcomes. Rehabilitation literature ranks family education as one of the important elements of a rehabilitation program—but as the cost of health services escalates, it is becoming increasingly important to justify the expenditure of resources for family education. Little was found in the literature about how to demonstrate or evaluate the benefits gained from family education interventions, and no instrument that had been used for this purpose was identified. The Family Assessment Device (FAD) (Epstein, Baldwin,&Bishop, 1983) is a self‐report instrument that was cited in the literature (Bishop&Miller, 1988) as a way to measure changes in family functioning that resulted from a clinical intervention. It seemed possible that the FAD also might be used to evaluate the effects of an educational intervention for families. A study was designed using the FAD to evaluate the outcome of a family education series provided by an outpatient rehabilitation program for head‐injured patients; however, the expected improvements in family functioning, evidenced by changes in mean scores on the FAD, did not occur. While the results of this study were disappointing, it may be that the FAD could serve as the prototype in the development of an instrument designed specifically to measure the effects of a family education intervention during rehabilit
