Abstract

Aims: Our study explored the perceived feasibility of using a home-based telerehabilitation service for older adults with chronic health conditions in Israel.

Method: This mixed-methods study included two focus groups of registered occupational therapists (n = 10) working in rehabilitation wards in Israel. Participants completed an open-ended questionnaire and Likert scale items so that data could be gathered on their perspectives regarding using an in-home telerehabilitation service for older adults after discharge from rehabilitation units. Thematic analysis with an a priori coding approach was applied to the data.

Results: Perceived advantages included transfer to the natural environment and the overcoming of geographical distance. Caregiver support and patient motivation were recognized as enabling factors. Perceived barriers included lack of hands-on contact and the concern that safety could be impeded by technological challenges and the patients' cognitive status.

Conclusions: Findings from this study can potentially contribute to facilitating the implementation of a home-based telerehabilitation service as a practical alternative for elderly patients after discharge from rehabilitation units in Israel.

以色列慢性疾病老年人基于职业的远程康复干预的可行性。
目的:我们的研究探讨了在以色列为患有慢性疾病的老年人使用家庭远程康复服务的可行性。方法:这项混合方法研究包括两个焦点组,在以色列康复病房工作的注册职业治疗师(n = 10)。参与者完成了一份开放式问卷和李克特量表项目,以便收集他们对老年人出院后使用家庭远程康复服务的看法的数据。采用先验编码方法对数据进行专题分析。结果:感知优势包括对自然环境的迁移和对地理距离的克服。护理人员的支持和患者的动机被认为是促成因素。感知到的障碍包括缺乏实际接触,以及担心安全可能受到技术挑战和患者认知状况的阻碍。结论:本研究的结果可能有助于促进以家庭为基础的远程康复服务的实施,作为以色列老年患者出院后的一种实际选择。
