Abstract

Abstract Aims This study aims to i) describe how occupational therapy (OT) practitioners implement secondary stroke prevention education, and ii) explore barriers and facilitators in education provision. Methods OT practitioners completed a mixed methods online survey regarding characteristics, barriers, and facilitators of prevention education for adults with stroke and their caregivers. Results 148 eligible responses were received and analyzed using descriptive quantitative and qualitative thematic analysis methods. More than half of participants frequently or always provided education on four of eight specified prevention topics. Under education facilitators, emergent themes included resource utilization, specific education strategies, and “it takes a village.” Under education barriers, themes included decreased understanding/acceptance, lack of time, and lack of support/resources. Conclusion OT practitioners play a critical role in addressing secondary prevention in stroke survivors, yet education on some prevention topics may be sub-optimal. Addressing identified barriers may provide opportunities to implement secondary stroke prevention education more effectively.

二级脑卒中预防教育:职业治疗从业者的实施与认知

摘要目的本研究旨在i）描述职业治疗（OT）从业者如何实施二级脑卒中预防教育，以及ii）探索教育提供中的障碍和促进因素。方法OT从业者完成了一项关于成人中风及其护理人员预防教育的特点、障碍和促进者的混合方法在线调查。结果共收到148份符合条件的回复，并采用描述性定量和定性主题分析方法进行分析。超过一半的参与者经常或总是就八个特定预防主题中的四个提供教育。在教育促进者的指导下，新兴主题包括资源利用、具体的教育战略和“需要一个村庄”。在教育障碍下，主题包括理解/接受度下降、缺乏时间和缺乏支持/资源。结论OT从业者在脑卒中幸存者的二级预防方面发挥着关键作用，但一些预防主题的教育可能是次优的。解决已确定的障碍可能为更有效地实施二级中风预防教育提供机会。
