No clue what this is. They don't talk about full recovery so it must be a failure at that!
Experiences of F@ce – a team-based, person-centred intervention supported by information and communication technology for rehabilitation after a stroke
The study aimed to explore the experiences of participation in F@ce, a team-based, person-centred intervention program supported by information and communication technology, among persons with stroke, their significant others, and the team members.
Methods
The clients (n = 10) and their significant others (n = 6) were interviewed individually once and the rehabilitation team members (n = 6) were interviewed once in focus groups at the end of the intervention. The transcribed interviews were analysed using content analysis.
Results
The findings indicate that the F@ce intervention program was perceived as relevant, effective, and satisfying(Impossible to be satisfying if not fully recovered, unless you are being bamboozled by the tyranny of low expectations that your stroke medical 'professionals' are feeding you!) by clients, significant others, and rehabilitation team members, helping to reduce restrictions on participation in daily activities and to improve recovery during post-stroke rehabilitation. Five themes are presented: setting activity-based goals, enabling daily activities and motivation through SMS reminders: integrating F@ce into daily life, managing digital technology, collaboration and communication with the team, and involvement of significant others.
Conclusions
The study highlights the strengths of this intervention program, noting that it is evidence-based and activity-based, tailored in a person-centred manner to align with clients’ needs, priorities, and preferences in daily life.
Implications for rehabilitation
Information and communication technology-based rehabilitation interventions can enhance post-stroke recovery and support participation in daily life.
Rehabilitation professionals should provide tailored support to ensure that interventions meet individual needs and preferences.
Engaging significant others in the rehabilitation process can enhance client motivation and long-term outcomes.
A collaborative, person-centred approach should be prioritised to improve recovery and overall satisfaction.
