Qualitative and quantitative data on occupational performance, physical activity, psychological well-being, quality of life, adherence, and residents' and staff experiences were collected at an RAC facility in Sweden. Descriptive statistics and content analysis were used.Results: Six residents and 12 staff participated in the intervention. The methodology and intervention procedures were feasible overall. Participants requested more regular occupational therapy support, and staff requested support to motivate participants.Conclusions: This study demonstrates that Re-RAC was a feasible and well-accepted intervention in a Swedish RAC facility, although some areas for improvement were identified. Maintaining motivation was highlighted, and extended support will be incorporated.Significance: This study provides practical guidance for reablement in RAC facilities, emphasizing resident motivation and staff engagement.","PeriodicalId":49570,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Occupational Therapy","volume":"32 1","pages":"2611541"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145967631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Constructivist grounded theory methodology was used to analyse data generated through 23 interviews with 11 parents and eight occupational therapists who worked with them, five filmed routine therapy sessions, and nine photographs of instructional materials. A substantive theory of 'Responsive learning: Learning from and with each other' was constructed.Findings: The learning process is complex, dynamic, and bidirectional, with participants learning from and with each other in response to changing needs, situations, and context. It is deeply relational, where ongoing connection and partnership are crucial for mutual learning, moving forward together, and integrating learning into everyday life.Conclusion and significance: These findings reveal the importance of therapists establishing collaborative relationships, being cognizant co-learners with clients, and responding to learning in practice.","PeriodicalId":49570,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Occupational Therapy","volume":"32 1","pages":"2578329"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145507701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research shows that menopause-related symptoms can have a negative impact on women's self-rated productivity and work ability.

In a Swedish context, knowledge is lacking on how women experience factors in the work environment that affect work ability.

Evidence on clinical utility is limited.Aims/objectives: To explore clinical utility of the D-CAMQs.Material and methods: Occupational therapists (OTs) and clients were recruited. Clients completed D-CAM-C1 before and D-CAM-C2 after therapy; OTs completed D-CAM-T after therapy. Surveys addressed appropriateness, accessibility, practicability and acceptability.Results: Eleven OTs and 47 clients (23-97 years, mostly neurological conditions) participated. Clients rated all six therapeutic modes as relevant, with 'Instructing' most and 'Advocating' least important. Group patterns of perceived mode use were similar for clients and OTs. However, correlations between preferred and perceived use were moderate (rs = 0.26-0.48), and client-therapist agreement was weak to trivial. Most clients found D-CAMQs appropriate and beneficial (≥57% to a great extent). OTs expressed mixed views, particularly regarding appropriateness and time investment.

This meant changes to ways of working for Occupational Therapists (OTs), as OTs play a key role in planning for discharging patients, a crucial process before patients return home, and in the transition between care givers.Aim: The aim of this study is to illuminate how OTs experience the intra-professional collaboration during the discharge process between inpatient care and home healthcare.Methods: Interviews were conducted with OTs (N = 12), with even distribution between inpatient care and home healthcare, in three geographical locations in Sweden. Data analysis was performed according to qualitative content analysis.Results: A central theme ran through all categories; the multi faces of intra-professional communication are challenging, intertwined and emotional. The categories illuminate experiences in terms of important but neglected patient participation and safety, different forms of mind-set depending on setting, complex rapid communication, unpredictable paths of discharge, unclear responsibility and organisational guidelines and, impact on work health and OT emotions.Conclusion: Intra-professional communication is complex with many aspects and perspectives of importance for collaboration to run smoothly, but also the many individuals involved in the collaboration process of discharging a patient. This situates high demands on the professionals involved to distinguish and identify necessary information to make the discharge sound and safe for patient, as well as for relatives, involved services, and manageable for OTs.","PeriodicalId":49570,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Occupational Therapy","volume":"31 1","pages":"2433101"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142789690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
