Abstract

Distal Radius Fracture (DRF) is the most common upper limb fracture, which reduces independence in daily living activities. This study explored the functional recovery of distal radius fracture six months post-injury. We conducted a qualitative study using an Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). 11 adults aged 18 and 59 with DRF participated in face-to face, semi-structured, and in-depth interviews recorded digitally. In addition, transcribed recordings were analysed thematically. Four themes emerged from the analysis: (i) I could do or could not do, (ii) How I live my life, (iii) What I feel like, and (iv) Something is wrong with my hand. Following over six months of injury, all participants experienced physical limitations where most participants reported reduced daily activities performance. Consequently, some participants developed adaptive strategies to enhance their daily activities’ ability. DRF also affected their psychological aspects. Overall, DRF affects individuals’ functioning in daily living activities, work and leisure for over six months post-injury. This study highlights that occupational therapists need to maintain or strengthen functional recovery and support individuals with DRF even for over six months post-injury.

桡骨远端骨折功能恢复:解释性现象学分析

桡骨远端骨折(DRF)是最常见的上肢骨折，它降低了日常生活活动的独立性。本研究探讨桡骨远端骨折损伤后6个月的功能恢复情况。我们使用解释现象学分析(IPA)进行了定性研究。11名年龄在18岁到59岁之间的DRF患者参加了面对面、半结构化和深度的数字化访谈。此外，还对转录的录音进行了专题分析。分析中出现了四个主题:(1)我能做或不能做;(2)我如何生活;(3)我的感觉如何;(4)我的手出了问题。在受伤六个多月后，所有参与者都经历了身体限制，大多数参与者报告日常活动表现下降。因此，一些参与者制定了适应性策略来提高他们的日常活动能力。DRF也影响到他们的心理方面。总体而言，DRF在受伤后的6个月内会影响个人的日常生活活动、工作和休闲功能。这项研究强调，职业治疗师需要维持或加强功能恢复，并支持患有DRF的个体，即使在受伤后超过6个月。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Sustainability Science and Management is an Open-Access and peer-reviewed journal aims to publish scientific articles related to sustainable science; i.e. an interaction between natural sciences, social science, technologies and management for sustainable development and wise use of resources. We particularly encourage manuscripts that discuss contemporary research that can be used directly or indirectly in addressing critical issues and sharing of advanced knowledge and best practices in sustainable development.
