“…These different views may have been shaped by the home culture of the health professionals. Stanhope (2002) describes different allocation of responsibility over symptoms based on cultural backgrounds, with Western cultures more attuned to taking more personal responsibility. Health professionals need to be aware of the possible influence of religion on patients' acceptance and motivation during recovery and rehabilitation post-stroke, and how their own religious beliefs may influence their preparedness to work in culturally sensitive ways with patients.…”

Religious faith is central to life for Muslim patients in Kuwait, so it may influence adaptation and rehabilitation. This study explored quantitative associations among religious faith, self-efficacy, and life satisfaction in 40 female stroke patients and explored the influence of religion within stroke rehabilitation through qualitative interviews with 12 health professionals. The quantitative measure of religious faith did not relate to life satisfaction or self-efficacy in stroke patients. However, the health professionals described religious coping as influencing adaptation post-stroke.Fatalistic beliefs were thought to have mixed influences on rehabilitation. Measuring religious faith among Muslims through a standardized scale is debated. The qualitative accounts suggest that religious beliefs need to be acknowledged in stroke rehabilitation in Kuwait.

“…In illustration, Saltapidas and Ponsford (2008) found that patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) from minority group 3 backgrounds in Australia scored lower in internal locus of control (LOC) than patients from the dominant English-speaking culture. This may reflect Western values that emphasise autonomy and self-responsibility, whilst in some non-Western cultures, LOC is more externalized, and the ill person is more likely to be viewed as dependent on the family and not responsible for self-managing the condition (Stanhope, 2002;Dalvandi et al, 2010).…”

. Life satisfaction and self-efficacy in patients affected by a first stroke living in Kuwait: A two-phase study. Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, 29(6), 443-456. AbstractLife satisfaction and self-efficacy are important aspects of stroke rehabilitation. Previous research focuses on Western stroke survivors, neglecting the stroke experience in the Middle East. This research was conducted in Kuwait, and entailed both quantitative and qualitative phases to obtain a more comprehensive, clinically relevant understanding of self-efficacy and life satisfaction during stroke rehabilitation in this culture. The aims were firstly to investigate relationships between self-efficacy and life satisfaction in female patients affected by stroke (Phase 1), and secondly, to explore health professionals' views regarding the importance of self-efficacy and possible strategies for enhancing self-efficacy during rehabilitation, through semi-structured interviews (Phase2). Significant correlations were found between patients' general self-efficacy, and psychosocial adaptation self-efficacy following stroke. Self-efficacy (both general and psychosocial adaptation) showed significant correlations with life satisfaction poststroke. Health professionals (more than half of whom were physiotherapists) recognized the importance of self-efficacy within stroke rehabilitation and identified five main ways to increase self-efficacy during stroke rehabilitation. These were to: motivate and encourage patients, provide more education about stroke and rehabilitation, identify change, offer a high quality environment and therapy, and set goals. In conclusion, psychosocial self-efficacy was identified as having a stronger relationship to life 2 satisfaction compared with general self-efficacy within this sample of Kuwaiti female patients. Health professionals suggested various strategies for enhancing self-efficacy and thereby life satisfaction post-stroke during the rehabilitation process in Kuwait.Despite the collectivist culture of Kuwait, the findings indicate that patient's own confidence and sense of responsibility for progress may be relevant to rehabilitation.

This study explores mental health professionals' practices with adult clients and their parents at the departure of the clients' transition from the parental home to independent living. Using grounded theory methodology, the author interviewed 24 case managers in Assertive Community Treatment programs in Wisconsin and applied dimensional analysis to identify and categorize concepts in verbatim transcripts. Different client-parent relationships were sampled to compare practices on client independent living. Results show that case managers considered client independent living a desirable social norm and a practical approach to addressing long-term care concerns. Based on the status of parental approval of independent living, case managers applied various strategies to foster helpful parental emotional boundaries with clients in order to facilitate client independence. The author discussed implications for practice and suggested future research on clients' and parents' perspectives on independent living and the short-term and long-term effects of the transition on their well-being.
