“…Since HI are common and limit the ability to participate in wide range of activities and roles, it is important to use a more holistic approach encompassing all the domains of the ICF after HI, including activities and participation as well as physical function and structural tools. [11,13] The general objective of this study was to evaluate the use of the adapted version of 12-item WHODAS 2.0 in Hebrew speakers with and without HI. Specifically, (1) to describe the process of translation and cultural adaptation of the questionnaire among subjects with and without HI; (2) to examine the reliability of the 12-item WHODAS 2.0 in terms of internal consistency and test-retest reliability among uninjured (UI) subjects; (3) to examine construct validity in terms of convergent validity, by comparing the 12-item version of the WHODAS 2.0 to SF-12 questionnaire among UI subjects; and (4) To examine the validity of the questionnaire as an instrument for measuring function and disability among subjects with HI, in comparison with UI subjects and to the QDASH questionnaire.…”

The results support the reliability and validity of this Hebrew translation of the 12-item WHODAS 2.0. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Measurement tools that assess activities and participation after HI are an essential part of the rehabilitation process. The 12-item WHODAS 2.0 is a useful tool, since it addresses a broader range of activity and participation domains compared to the DASH and enables better implementation of the ICF model. Since the WHODAS 2.0 does not target a specific disease (as oppose to the DASH), it can be used to compare disabilities caused by different diseases or traumas. The WHODAS 2.0 measures both the function and disability in general populations as well as clinical situations; therefore, the instrument is useful for assessing both health and disability.

Coping strategies used in performing daily occupations 3 months after a severe or major hand injury were explored. A semi-structured interview was performed with 13 participants with hand injuries based on Hand Injury Severity Scoring System and analysed using content analysis. Six groups of strategies were identified: 'Changing performance of daily occupations', 'Actively processing trauma experience', 'Changing occupational patterns', 'Receiving assistance', 'Using emotional strategies' and 'Keeping up a social network'. The problem- and emotional-solving strategies identified in this study can be used to support other patients early in rehabilitation. Patients with few coping strategies should be recognized. Information and practical handouts to patients, therapists and relatives should stimulate and help patients with hand problems enabling in meaningful occupations and preventing unnecessary stress. Furthermore, social support should be encouraged and family should be actively involved in rehabilitation. To insure trustworthiness, member checks were used on four randomly selected participants, but could possibly be used with all participants. Further research is needed in a longitudinal study to explore which coping strategies or adaptation patients use to perform daily occupations at a later stage.

“…Linda regarded returning to work as a milestone in her recovery, relating work to feeling like 'my own person again', which suggests that an aspect of self-identity is shaped by meaningful occupations and work, a finding also made in two studies. 8,13 Linked with the previous sub-theme, some of the participants talked about the help of work colleagues once they returned to work: 'I've got to do it, but my colleagues at that job come and help me' -Louise (a waitress).…”

Fractures of the wrist are often highly traumatic, leading to significant pain and reduction in an individual's home, work and leisure roles for a considerable time. Among the studies on wrist fracture, there is limited evidence which qualitatively explores the patient's rehabilitation experiences of this condition, and the impact they feel it has on their daily lives. The aim of this study was therefore to explore the experiences of working age people with dominant side wrist fracture in terms of the impact on their lives from the resulting loss of hand function, and the role that hand therapy plays in the rehabilitation process.Method. Using a qualitative approach, semistructured interviews were carried out with six participants who were current or previous patients of an outpatient occupational therapy department and who had sustained wrist fracture. Three key themes equated to the impact the fracture had on their lives: 'functional ability', 'attitudes and expectations of self and others' and 'assessment and treatment in occupational therapy'.Results. The main findings showed that the impact of reduced ability evoked negative reactions and dependence on others. Lack of information on application and removal of plaster cast contributed towards early anxieties about the appearance and function of the hand. Patients' attitudes generally reflected taking some responsibility for their own progress. Occupational therapy input increased motivation, and particularly for those who attended rehabilitation sessions in the department, the therapy was valued. Discussion. The recommendations from this study are that early and continued patient education is provided by the therapist, engaging relatives where appropriate, to alleviate patient and family anxieties and to help determine realistic expectations of recovery. While patients generally engage with objective measurements, making assessment and treatment relevant to their activities of daily living is essential to ensure they are moti...
