Barriers and facilitators to meeting aphasia guideline recommendations: what factors influence speech pathologists' practice?
CONCLUSIONS: Speech pathologists report a number of key factors influencing their practice, which differ in how they influence behaviours (i.e., a factor may be a barrier or a facilitator) depending on the behaviour and clinical setting. Future implementation interventions need to account for the strong influence of beliefs and social influences on speech pathology practice, which may facilitate successful implementation. Implications for rehabilitation Speech pathologists' aphasia management practices are often inconsistent with guideline recommendations. Environmental and contextual barriers were identified for all guide...

Individual's experiences of adjusting to changes in body image after spinal cord injury: a literature review and thematic synthesis
CONCLUSIONS: The physical impacts of SCI, individual's perceptions, relationships and sociocultural discourses influenced body image. Rehabilitation professionals could support adjustment to changes in body image by considering individual, relational and systemic influences. Furthermore, it is important to include an individual's support network within their care as social factors influenced body image experiences. Peer support could promote hope and challenge negative sociocultural beliefs about disability.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONFollowing spinal cord injury (SCI) individuals described a dynamic process of adjustme...

From physical and functional to continuity with pre-stroke self and participation in valued activities: A qualitative exploration of stroke survivors', carers' and physiotherapists' perceptions of physical activity after stroke.
Conclusions: Individualised interventions that account for social and environmental influences on behaviour appear vital to enabling survivors to participate in meaningful physical activities. Such interventions should facilitate development of shared perspectives among physiotherapists, carers and survivors of PA and related outcomes and provide tailored strategies to facilitate PA participation. Implications for Rehabilitation Physical activity after stroke rehabilitation is important for fitness, health, functioning and well-being. Reasons for survivors participating or not in physical activity after stroke are complex ...

Social context, art making processes and creative output: a qualitative study exploring how psychosocial benefits of art participation during stroke rehabilitation occur.
CONCLUSION: This study provides a model of intervention components, mechanisms of action and outcome mediators to explain how art participation may work. Findings suggest that art may influence important psychosocial outcomes that other rehabilitation approaches do not typically address. The study paves the way for a future effectiveness trial. Implications for Rehabilitation Participation in an art programme during rehabilitation appears to improve stroke survivors' mood, confidence and self-esteem and enhances perceptions of hope and control over recovery. Social interactions, the processes of art making and review and a...

Inclusive education theory and practice: What does this mean for paediatricians?
Inclusive education has become the dominant approach to providing for children and young people with special educational needs (SEN) and disabilities, not only in the UK but internationally. However, this general term, inclusive education, is not a simple description of the educational provision. On the contrary, children and young people with SEN are a highly heterogeneous subgroup of the school (and preschool, college and university) population and their education needs are varied. In this article I seek to provide a wider understanding of the nature of SEN; the legal and professional frameworks in which we work; the res...

Māori: living and dying with cardiovascular disease in Aotearoa New Zealand
This article provides an informed perspective on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and palliative care need among Māori New Zealanders. High Māori CVD risk factors will contribute to a sharp increase in older Māori deaths which has implications for health and palliative care service provision.
Recent findings
CVD is New Zealand's leading cause of premature deaths and disability among Māori. A projected rise in older Māori deaths within the next 30 years will require increased palliative care. However, accessing palliative care and obtaining and understanding information can be challenging for families who are already of...

Online Dating Experiences of LGBTQ+ Emerging Adults With Disabilities
AbstractIn 2014 approximately 14.4% of Americans ages 18 to 24 had some type of disability. Compared to their peers without disabilities, disabled emerging adults typically have more difficulty dating and finding romantic and sexual partners. One way that they may escape disability stigma and smaller dating pools is through online dating. However, little is known about their experiences seeking romantic and sexual relationships online, and even less is known about the experiences of emerging adults with disabilities who identify with sexual orientations and have gender identities that are not heterosexual or cisgender. In ...

The experience of living with knee osteoarthritis: exploring illness and treatment beliefs through thematic analysis.
Conclusion: Exploring illness representations and beliefs about medical and surgical control of pain may provide the basis for initiating psychological interventions for people with knee OA. Implications for Rehabilitation People with knee OA place pain at the core of their living, and hold beliefs about knee OA being an incurable disease of a progressive nature, linked to specific causal factors. People with OA have concerns and worries about use of medication to control pain, and are ambivalent towards relying on medical or surgical interventions. Exploring and addressing patient illness beliefs and treatment expectation...

Binge eating may serve many functions, according to Amy Pershing, LMSW, ACSW, the executive director of Pershing Turner Centers, an eating disorder recovery outpatient clinic in Ann Arbor, Mich., an...

Interventions that support adults with brain injuries, learning disabilities and autistic spectrum disorders in dating or romantic relationships: a systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: More high-quality studies are needed to assess the effectiveness of interventions. Also, greater consensus is needed on the key behaviors for dating and relationships and the measures to assess these. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Intimate relationships are important to quality of life, but challenging for many people in neuro-atypical populations. There are a small number of researched interventions to support dating or marital relationships among adults with ABI, ASD or learning disabilities. Rehabilitation professionals should ask about dating and relationships and support people if this area is identifie...

Back pain beliefs among Indian migrants in Australia: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: Beliefs of Indian migrants aligned with a "western traditional" biomedical model for the cause of pain, but with a belief in the effectiveness of both Indian traditional and western treatment approaches. Awareness of these beliefs could enable an effective therapeutic alliance between clinicians and Indian patients.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONBack pain beliefs of Australian Indian migrants are similar to their western counterparts, so the current guidelines for back pain can potentially be implemented without too much adjustment for this migrant community.Awareness of these beliefs is likely to improve the ...
