The capability approach in rehabilitation: developing capability care
CONCLUSIONS: We have shown that it is possible to develop a healthcare intervention based on the capability approach. We hope that rehabilitation professionals will be encouraged to use capability care and that other medical professionals will be inspired to develop capability care in their respective fields.REGISTRATION: Registered at trialregister.nl NL8946.PMID:38625146 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2342494 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Patients' perceptions of participating in self-directed activities outside supervised occupational and physiotherapy within inpatient and home-based rehabilitation settings: a qualitative study
CONCLUSIONS: Patients and their carers reported positive experiences of participating in self-directed therapy programs within rehabilitation settings, with programs perceived as beneficial in optimising recovery. Patients reported a range of driving and limiting factors in relation to completing self-directed activities. Understanding these factors, relating to the patient, their environment and other people, is critical for clinicians so that they can modify their delivery accordingly, ensuring uptake and sustained implementation of self-directed activities in rehabilitation care.PMID:38625404 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024...

Impact of paediatric cochlear implantation on family life: a conceptual framework informed by parents
CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the multiple areas of family life affected by paediatric cochlear implantation. To improve patient-and-family-centered care, these factors must be considered during pre-operative and successive counselling of paediatric CI recipients and their families.PMID:38606527 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2337094 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Representation of child and youth participation within the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS)
CONCLUSION(S): The representation of participation within the UMLS is limited and poorly aligned with the contemporary definition of child and youth participation. Expanding ontological resources to represent child and youth participation is needed to enable better data analytics that reflect contemporary paediatric rehabilitation practice.PMID:38596871 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2338191 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and basic life support guidelines for people with disability: a scoping review
CONCLUSION: The scoping review has uncovered a paucity of evidence explaining delivery of CPR and BLS for people with disability and highlights the need for further research. In the absence of further evidence, it is reasonable for educators to provide ideas and discussion about supplementing CPR and BLS for people with disability to carers.PMID:38591611 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2337098 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)
