- The purpose of this study was to describe how a group of mainly elderly disabled persons experienced their rehabilitation over a period of time focusing on their interactions with professionals, relatives and the community. Fifteen persons who had suddenly been taken ill and who had received rehabilitation were interviewed. The interview transcripts were analysed qualitatively. The results showed that the informants' experiences could be described in a form of three rehabilitation chains, each one consisting of a number of phases. First, a medical rehabilitation chain that started at the onset of the informants' disability. This chain was relatively short and reflected the informants' interactions with the professionals. A psychological rehabilitation chain that represented the informants' internal struggle towards a new meaningful life. The third was labelled a social rehabilitation chain. This chain became visible later in the rehabilitation process and reflected the informants' interactions with their relatives and their experiences of a stigmatizing society. Although rehabilitation in Sweden is claiming to apply a holistic perspective encompassing medical, psychological and social aspects, the results of the study showed that it is not perceived so by the informants in the study, who experienced rehabilitation mainly in the medical rehabilitation chain.

Patients' perceptions of their participation in rehabilitation planning and professionals' view of their strategies to encourage it
- 2001

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purposes of this descriptive study were threefold: first, to describe how patients perceived their participation in the planning of their rehabilitation; second, to describe nurses' and occupational therapists' view of the strategies they used to encourage patients' participation; and third, to compare the perceptions of the two groups. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 57 hospitalized patients, 39 nurses and 11 occupational therapists. On the basis of the data patients were categorized as (a) 'relinquishers', (b) 'participants', and (c) 'occasional participants'. Professionals were categorized as 'information providers' and 'rehabilitation practitioners'. The strategies used by the professionals to encourage patient participation were approximately the same irrespective of patient category. It is suggested that professionals need to be sensitive to the patient's desire to participate in the planning of a rehabilitation programme. Further research is recommended to investigate circumstances affecting patients' participation and which strategies professionals can use to encourage their participation

Dynamic ankle–foot orthoses as a part of treatment in children with spastic diplegia — Parents' perceptions

- BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Dynamic ankle-foot orthoses (DAFOs) are often recommended for children with spastic diplegia in order to facilitate better function. The aim of the present study was to explore how the parents of children with diplegic cerebral palsy experience the use of DAFOs.METHOD: A qualitative interview study with a broad research question: 'How do you perceive that DAFOs influence your child?' The parents of 15 children, aged 4-18 years, who all had spastic diplegia and wore DAFOs were interviewed.RESULTS: Content analysis resulted in the following categories: 'Physical effects'; 'New functions and activities'; 'The orthosis as a part of the treatment'; 'Opportunity for independence and play'; and 'Problems with DAFOs'. According to the parents, DAFOs appeared to contribute to the (mechanical) changes in posture affecting the muscular system. They meant that when wearing DAFOs the foot and ankle are more stable. This in turn enables postural control and alignment, contributing to functional activities under more favourable physiological conditions. The psychosocial effects were regarded by parents as being just as important as the physical effects.CONCLUSION: In clinical practice, DAFOs may (according to parents) be regarded as a suitable complement to other treatments in children with diplegic cerebral palsy.

Are playgrounds in Norrland (Northern Sweden) accessible to children with restricted mobility?
- 2001

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of this study was to investigate the accessibility of playgrounds to children with restricted mobility in Norrland. The investigation was carried out as a descriptive postal survey study. The questions in the survey were retrospective, i.e. addressed the issue of what had or had not been done to adapt the playgrounds for children with restricted mobility. The questionnaire was sent out to all the 54 municipalities in the province of Norrland. In the municipalities that responded to the questionnaire there were in all 2,266 playgrounds. When compiling the answers it appeared that only two of the total number of playgrounds were considered by the municipalities to be completely adapted for children with restricted mobility and that 46 playgrounds were partially adapted for them. The investigation can be seen as an illustration of the social model of disability. The inadequate adaptation of playgrounds to the needs of children with restricted mobility constitutes a very tangible societal barrier. It is a barrier, which can only be removed if the knowledge borne by those with restricted mobility and their organisations is utilised by municipal decision‐makers.

Attitudes of Key Persons to Accessibility Problems in Playgrounds for Children with Restricted Mobility: A Study in a Medium-sized Municipality in Northern Sweden

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Playgrounds are an important outdoor environment for children. Yet few playgrounds are designed to be accessible to children with restricted mobility. In this study the child with restricted mobility is defined as one who is unable to move around without the aid of a wheelchair, walking-frame, walking-stick or other walking device. The purpose of the study was to explore the attitudes to accessibility problems in playgrounds among two groups of key persons: "creators" and "users of playgrounds" in a medium-sized municipality in northern Sweden. Eleven key persons (5 "creators of playgrounds" and 6 "users of playgrounds") were interviewed in a semi-structured interview. The interviews were analysed according to content analysis and could be coded under different themes. The results showed that those who created playgrounds had (i) a fragmented organization, (ii) insufficient knowledge of disabilities, (iii) poor economy, and (iv) attitudes as an obstacle. Interviews with the users of the playgrounds were coded under two themes (i) the playground is not for me (i.e. for children with restricted mobility) and (ii) assistance is a precondition for accessibility. The results were discussed in the light of how the inaccessibility of play environments can affect the development of children with restricted mobility, and affect their possibilities of a life on a par with that of other children.
