It is based upon the following goals: providing relief from pain and other distressing symptoms, offering a support system to help patients live as actively as possible until death, integrating the psychological and spiritual aspects of care, and offering a support system to help the family cope during the patient’s illness (World Health Organization, 2019). It is a multiprofessional and systemic view of care in which patients, family, and practitioners are integrated in an interactive system (Gramm et al., 2020; Pollens, 2012). 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10453/187225 Title: Looking beyond body structure and function: a scoping review of non-impairment impacts of stroke on adolescents. Authors: Lo, D; Waite, M; Rose, TA Abstract: BACKGROUND: Much of the childhood stroke literature has not distinguished impacts for adolescents from those of younger children. Research has also focused on body impairments. With adolescence being a unique period, this scoping review aimed to identify the impacts of childhood stroke on activity, participation, and quality of life for adolescents 13-18 years, and identify how these impacts were determined. METHOD: This review adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Data pertaining to non-impairment impacts of childhood stroke for adolescents, participant and study characteristics, and measurement instruments were extracted. RESULTS: Following screening, 79 articles were included, and 33 measurement instruments identified. Only 6 studies reported separate data for adolescents, identifying difficulties with daily activities, social and academic impacts, and reduced quality of life. Impacts of post-stroke communication difficulties on daily activities and schooling were also noted. Measurement instruments developed specifically for adolescents with stroke are lacking. INTERPRETATION: The review identified limited research reporting non-impairment impacts of childhood stroke for adolescents. Further research specific to this population and the development of measurement instruments for adolescents who have experienced childhood stroke is required to support future research and clinicians working with this population. 2024-12-05T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10453/186981 Title: Student experiences in a novel interprofessional neurodevelopmental clinic: a qualitative study. Authors: Garavelis, K; Hayes, N; Maloney, M; Liddle, K; Moritz, K; Gullo, MJ; Rose, T; Gullo, H; McMah, R; Heussler, H; Reid, N Abstract: BACKGROUND: Student-led clinics can provide low-cost speciality care and practical interprofessional education (IPE) opportunities. In Australia, there are currently limited speciality services available that provide neurodevelopmental assessments that consider fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) as one possible outcome. The aim of the current study was to understand student experiences in a novel interprofessional student-led clinic for children and adolescents with suspected or confirmed prenatal alcohol exposure. METHOD: Seventeen allied health university students (11 occupational therapy; 6 psychology) participated in individual semi-structured interviews following completion of a 10-week clinic placement. Reflexive thematic analysis was undertaken using NVivo12. RESULTS: Four main themes were generated: (1) Interprofessional practice a key for students' development as future healthcare professionals; (2) Meaningful relationships and students' belief they made a difference; (3) Novel challenges tested students' capabilities on placement; and (4) Supervisor attitude and approach to learning supported student development. CONCLUSIONS: The current study demonstrated that the interprofessional student-led neurodevelopmental clinic provided a valuable IPE opportunity for students. 2024-08-13T00:00:00Z
