Deans' stroke musings: Occupational therapy interventions to address depressive and anxiety symptoms in the physical disability inpatient rehabilitation setting: A systematic review

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Do you not understand that the solution to depression is 100% recovery protocols? Your patients will be too busy counting reps and looking forward to recovery to get depressed. If you can't see that and aren't working towards that. GET THE HELL OUT OF STROKE!

Abstract:

This review identified what occupational therapy interventions have been used to address depressive and anxiety symptoms within the physical disability inpatient rehabilitation (IPR) and determined determine the efficacy of these interventions for mental health, quality of life, and functional outcomes. Nine databases for all publication years were searched (PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, AgeLine, OTseeker, and CINAHL). Five of 8,082 articles met inclusion criteria. Included articles were peer reviewed, based in the United States, in English, controlled clinical trials or randomized controlled trials, in the IPR setting, and within the occupational therapy scope of practice. Two reviewers independently screened articles, with disagreements resolved by consensus. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used for abstracting data and assessing quality. Diagnoses included stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and musculoskeletal conditions. Results are discussed among four categories: study design and outcome variables, intervention type, intervention intensity, and intervention efficacy. The findings indicate that limited, moderate-quality evidence exists within the occupational therapy scope of practice for addressing depressive and anxiety symptoms in the physical disability IPR setting. Interventions primarily included cognitive and behavioral strategies. Further research among diverse patient populations is needed to support occupational therapy practitioners in facilitating client participation and functioning.
