Abstract:

The OQ-45.2 (Outcome Questionnaire-45.2) is a measure of psychological distress that examines patients' emotional states and level of functioning in society. This measure was administered at admission and discharge to inpatients at a level II trauma center with in- and outpatient populations in addition to the BBHI-2 (Brief Battery for Health Improvement-2) and FIM (Functional Independence Measure). Results suggested that patients demonstrated psychological improvements from admission to discharge. In addition, the OQ-45.2 was found to correlate with nearly all subtests of the BBHI-2. Finally,

Introduction: A successful return to sport (RTS) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) demands optimal physical and psychological rehabilitation. Aim: Study the change in psychological readiness to RTS between three- and six-months post ACL-R, to associate psychological readiness to patient-reported knee function and identify factors associated to greater psychological readiness to RTS. The secondary aim was to examine how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the patients’ rehabilitation. Methods: Prospective cohort study including patients with primary ACL-R recruited from the

Objectives: The aims of this study are to answer the following questions (1) How does the pain intensity of lumbar and cervical disc surgery patients change within a postoperative time frame of 5 years? (2) Which sociodemographic, medical, work-related, and psychological factors are associated with postoperative pain in lumbar and cervical disc surgery patients? Methods: The baseline survey (T0; n = 534) was conducted 3.6 days (SD 2.48) post-surgery in the form of face-to-face interviews. The follow-up interviews were conducted 3 months (T1; n = 486 patients), 9 months (T2; n = 457), 15 months

Abstract:

Burns are one of the most painful and traumatising injuries an individual can sustain and constitute a serious global health threat to children. Despite the magnitude of this public health problem, little research has examined the psychological burden of these injuries. This study used a mixed-methods approach to investigate the effect of paediatric medical trauma on children who have sustained a burn, their parents and the healthcare professionals caring for these patients. The paediatric medical traumatic stress model provided a theoretical framework for this study. Firstly, this study aimed

Abstract:

As a leading cause of disability that often leads to death, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can be characterized as both a chronic illness and a life-threatening one. As a result, the experience of individuals with COPD can include psychological concerns that are associated with both rehabilitation and palliative care. At the same time, the often-uncertain trajectory of COPD obscures a clear transition from rehabilitation to palliative care. It is not surprising, therefore, that treatments aimed at addressing patients’ rehabilitative and palliative needs largely proceed independen

Physiotherapy and methods of movement rehabilitation have also been developed within the bounds of one profession. With the increasing trend towards working in multidisciplinary settings the opportunity now exists more readily to cross professional boundaries and integrate these two separate knowledge bases in order that better rehabilitation programmes can be developed and in recent years this has begun to ha

Abstract:

Tears to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) represent a serious sport injury that can be physically and psychologically debilitating for athletes. Recovery from ACL surgery is a six to nine month process, though the first four months of rehabilitation represents the key time of recovery. Thus, psychological interventions should occur during these first four months, but then examine athletes' psychological and physical functioning over the longer term. Past research has supported the efficacy of goal setting and imagery in helping athletes during their ACL recovery, and MSC has been shown to

The journey visits broad, in principle, government policy reports. It touches on insurance and political aspects of health care; the separation between medical, convalescent and tertiary divisions of the rehabilitation professions; and, most importantly, it is concerned with the personal struggle to find some ‘meaning’ in the experience of a chronic illness for which there is, at this stage, no cure.
