Some were with their current partner at the time of injury; others established their relationship following SCI. The data were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis.Results: Analysis produced themes showing that communication, negotiating and maintaining clearly defined roles, mutual support and changing definitions of intimacy were important processes for adjustment and maintenance of romantic relationships following SCI.Discussion: The study's results provide further insight into factors that are important for couples when maintaining and adjusting their relationship post-SCI.

Structural validity was explored using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Construct validity was determined through correlations of P-FSMC with the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) and the Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS), besides expected differences in P-FSMC scores and by examining score variations based on disability and depression levels. Fatigue discrimination and diagnostic accuracy between PwMS and healthy controls were evaluated.Results: The P-FSMC demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability and high internal consistency. EFA revealed two factors explaining 70.08% of the variance, with good fit model. The P-FSMC showed moderate to high correlations with FSS and FIS and distinguished different levels of disability and depression. The total score discriminated fatigue with 86.7% accuracy, 84.5% sensitivity, and 93.1% specificity.

This paper outlines the development of a communication and wellbeing intervention for delivery in the virtual world, EVA Park, for people with aphasia called Virtual Elaborated Semantic Feature Analysis.Materials and methods: The Medical Research Council framework for developing complex interventions was followed to combine evidence (literature review), underpinning theory (semantic processing theories, framework for situated language use and learning theories) and involvement with stakeholders (four people with aphasia and three speech and language therapists) in an intervention that addresses word finding, situated language and wellbeing.Results: Evidence for the semantic word interventions and situated conversation interventions was synthesised. Theory underpinning the proposed intervention included Hebbian learning, the hub and spokes model of semantic processing, semantic spreading activation theory, the framework for situated language use and learning theories. Stakeholders with aphasia identified intervention content, an acceptable intervention regimen and gave feedback on a taster session. Speech therapists advised how the intervention could be implemented in clinical practice.Conclusion: Virtual Elaborated Semantic Feature Analysis is a user-informed, theory-based complex aphasia intervention that is expected to improve word finding, word use in situated conversation and wellbeing.","PeriodicalId":50575,"journal":{"name":"Disability and Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143558712","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}

A search of six databases resulted in 2169 English documents; 34 were retained. Two reviewers charted and analyzed the data, supported by the third reviewer. Inductive content analysis was used to identify principles and key ingredients.Results: Seven documents provided explicit definitions of capacity or capacity building. Content analysis revealed four principles describing capacity building as: 1) individualized approach with real-world application 2) fostering a preferred future 3) youth taking ownership for change and 4) an ongoing process. Six key ingredients detail how to build capacity: 1) individualized and flexible approach in natural context 2) shared responsibility 3) use of accessible information and resources 4) cultivate strengths 5) opportunities for full participation and 6) facilitate reflection on experiences.Conclusion: Clinicians and researchers can draw upon identified capacity building principles and ingredients to support meaningful real-world outcomes for transition-age youth.","PeriodicalId":50575,"journal":{"name":"Disability and Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"1-25"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143544250","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}

A more explicit understanding of the factors influencing recovery from the perspective of injured persons is needed to inform clinical decision making and rehabilitation service delivery in the Canadian context. This study addressed the following research question: From the perspective of injured persons, what factors are identified as influencing recovery following a non-catastrophic injury sustained in an MVA?Methods: This study employed a qualitative interpretive descriptive study design. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with five occupational therapy clients with non-catastrophic injuries receiving auto insurer funded occupational therapy post-MVA. Constant comparative analysis was used for analysis of interview transcripts.Results: Prominent factors identified as influencing recovery post-MVA included accepting a new version of self, poor mental health, social support, navigating the insurance system, and access to healthcare.Conclusion: Findings from this study emphasize that recovery from an MVA must be understood within the context of the insurance system, adding to previous research which suggests that claim-related factors impact recovery following an MVA.","PeriodicalId":50575,"journal":{"name":"Disability and Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143544386","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}

Scale reliability was determined by assessing internal consistency and test-retest reliability (after two weeks) using Cronbach's alpha and Spearman's correlation coefficients, respectively. The validity was evaluated using the Persian Trinity Amputation and Prosthetic Experience Scales (TAPES). We compared our findings to that obtained in a German sample.Results: With a total of 126 persons with lower limb amputation participating in the study, the Persian PEmbS-LLA showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha ≥0.79) and test-retest reliability (Spearman's Rho ≥0.83). There were small to moderate correlations between the Persian PEmbS-LLA and TAPES subscales. Factor analysis revealed only one component with eigenvalue larger than 1, explaining 69.72% of the variance and suggesting unidimensionality.

Transcripts and field notes were analyzed via reflexive thematic analysis.Results: Interviews were conducted with 18 participants (eight dancers with Parkinson's disease, seven dance facilitators, one classroom assistant, and two community stakeholders).
