“…The study highlighted that service users were satisfied with the student‐led ADL group program. This concurs with a few recent studies showing the positive experience of service users in receiving occupational‐based group interventions (Spalding et al, 2022a , 2022b ; Spalding, Di Tommaso, & Gustafsson, 2023 ; Spalding, Gustafsson, & Di Tommaso, 2023 ). Service users attended the student‐led program as a component of occupational therapy.…”

“…However, according to Occupational Therapy Australia ( 2021 ), many occupational therapy settings across Australia experience workforce shortages due to high turnover rates, inadequate availability of experienced staff, and difficulty retaining employees. A scoping review showed that, besides having more therapy time, patient satisfaction appeared to be improved after group interventions (Spalding et al, 2022b ). Another recent study showed that patients undergoing occupational‐based group intervention had improvements in occupational performance, satisfaction, and self‐efficacy (Spalding et al, 2022a ).…”

IntroductionOccupational therapists have vital roles in inpatient rehabilitation to focus on independence in activities of daily living. Occupational therapy interventions are uniquely designed to address goals of service users and can be delivered individually or in group formats. Group interventions promote service users' mutual support and enable therapists to increase frequency and intensity of service provision. Student‐led programs have become an attractive model, benefiting students while providing positive treatment outcomes for service users. There is an emerging body of literature that explores service users' and students' satisfaction with student‐led group models of practice within inpatient rehabilitation and occupational performance outcomes of service users participating in student‐led programs. This study aimed to explore the satisfaction of service users and students in addition to the self‐reported occupational performance outcomes of a student‐led activities of daily living group program in inpatient rehabilitation.MethodsData from 33 service users and seven students were collected retrospectively. The intervention involved a student‐led activities of daily living group program, consisting of three groups: breakfast, morning tea, and home readiness group. All service users and students completed unique satisfaction surveys at the conclusion of their participation in the student‐led program. Service users completed a self‐reported activities of daily living performance measure pre‐ and post‐program. Findings were reported in descriptive statistics, and pre‐ and post‐program data were compared with the Wilcoxon signed‐rank test.ResultsAll students were satisfied with the student‐led program. Majority of service users were satisfied with all components of the student‐led program. Median scores for self‐reported performance increased significantly following the student‐led program (P < 0.001).ConclusionThis study highlighted that service users and students were satisfied with the service delivery of a student‐led activities of daily living group program. The program was effective in addressing self‐reported performance for service users in inpatient rehabilitation. The findings from this study have potential to inform clinical practice on the implementation of student‐led programs in occupational therapy settings.

“…Having choice and control over goals and practicing activities with meaningful connections to home enabled engagement in group therapy. Integrating evidence and theory into practice for better patient outcomes is a consistent approach within other reported occupation-based groups (Spalding et al, 2020) as well as an important aspect of healthcare policy (Hoffmann et al, 2017) Observations of group format showed consistency in facilitators and member ratios, reported by participants to significantly enhance experience and recovery. It is well recognised in the literature that groups provide meaningful opportunities for learning from peers (Cole, 2012;Yalom & Leszcz, 2005) which participants reported was important for recovery.…”

“…Literature to guide implementation of rehabilitation groups has focused on standardised, impairment‐based therapy such as walking or arm‐strength circuit classes (Lohse et al, 2014 ; Schneider et al, 2016 ; Veerbeek et al, 2014 ). The paucity of literature on the nature of occupation‐based groups demonstrates variabilities in the group process, design and delivery (Spalding et al, 2020 ). This study contributes to this body of research by exploring factors for success.…”

“…There has been limited research exploring occupation‐based groups, occupational performance outcomes, as well as the impact on nonneurological populations. A recent scoping review by Spalding et al ( 2020 ) reported on the use of occupation‐based groups across a variety of inpatient rehabilitation population settings. While it was evident that these groups offered more opportunities to practise and influenced patient experience and satisfaction especially when a patient‐centred, goal‐based approach was used, the authors found limited high‐quality evidence on the impact on patient outcomes of occupational participation and functional performance.…”

Introduction: Occupation-based groups are used in inpatient rehabilitation to enhance delivery and intensity of intervention; however, little research is available to understand their effectiveness. The aim of this study was to examine the process of an occupation-based group to understand mechanisms and success factors.Methods: A mixed methods process evaluation using an evidence-based framework guided implementation and analysis. Participants were those involved in the 'LifeSkills' group run daily in an adult inpatient general rehabilitation ward. Quantitative administrative data, goal achievement outcome measures, group observations and qualitative semistructured interviews were conducted.Results: Thirty participants were recruited. Factors for success included consistency in group structure and support, using meaningful practise opportunities and facilitating a real-world experience. There was no significant relationship between patient outcomes and dose of training or patient demographics. Conclusion:This evaluation contributes to a growing body of evidence for incorporating occupation-based approaches into rehabilitation and offers insights into practice implementation.
