“…In addition, in this study, lack of awareness was not significantly related to the return to work, which again was in contrast with previous findings. 62,63 However, in accordance with our results, Hoofien et al 61 did not find any significant relationship between awareness of disorders and return to work in a group of patients with TBI.…”

“…Participants in this study also discussed the long-term psychosocial impact of living with an ABI. The findings from this study are consistent with previous research which has found that there is limited service provision for ABI survivors in supporting social reintegration (Hofgren et al, 2010;Liaset and Loras, 2016). Those who are not able to successfully integrate back into the community through employment and other means have decreased self-esteem and feelings of loss of control (Gilworth, 2008) and are more likely to experience social isolation and deprivation (All Party Parliamentary Group for Acquired Brain Injury, 2018).…”

Introduction An Acquired brain injury (ABI) is any damage to the brain, from any cause, that happens during or after birth. Figures suggest that approximately 350,000 people in the UK experience an ABI every year (Headway, 2018a). ABIs are caused by damage to the brain from a traumatic cause (for example road traffic accidents, falls or other external forces) or non-traumatic cause (such as stroke or infections; Headway, 2018a). Physical symptoms include mobility issues, speech difficulties, sensory impairment and fatigue (Haywood, 2010; Marshall et al., 2007). Cognitive problems include language loss, impairments in attention, concentration and memory (King and Tyerman, 2003; Konrad et al., 2011). Some cognitive difficulties are specifically associated with impairments in executive functioning impacting on planning, organisation, initiating activity, problem solving, and decision-making, and often associated with impaired insight into the level of disability (Maas, Menon and Adelson, 2017). Behavioural problems can include irritability and aggression, obsessive behaviour and impulsivity (Arciniegas and Wortzel, 2014; Kelly et al., 2008). Further emotional difficulties include mood swings, anxiety and depression and wider personality changes (Holloway, 2014). The difficulties faced by ABI survivors can make community rehabilitation and reintegration challenging. ABI survivors may have multiple contacts with health and social care services, including (but not limited to); adult or children's social care, primary health care, community mental health care, housing services, employment services, benefits agencies, homelessness organisations,

“…Within the discipline of occupational therapy, qualitative meta-synthesis and particularly meta-ethnography is growing in popularity (for example, see Classen et al., 2009; Fossey and Harvey, 2010; Frostad et al., 2016; Gibbs et al., 2015; Shamrock et al., 2016; York and Wiseman, 2012). Recent reviews using meta-ethnography illustrate the potential of the method to contribute to occupational therapy practice and research.…”

“…York and Wiseman (2012) included four studies in their meta-ethnography of gardening as an occupation, and developed a line of argument synthesis showing that the natural environment acted as stage on which people could develop their emotional, spiritual, cognitive and physical abilities. Frostad et al. (2016) used meta-ethnography to synthesise findings from 16 studies, and identified four key concepts as important for return to work after an acquired brain injury: empowerment, self-awareness, motivation and facilitation.…”

Introduction: Qualitative meta-synthesis draws together data from multiple studies and can enrich understandings of client experiences and inform health policy. Meta-ethnography is the most commonly utilised qualitative synthesis approach in healthcare; however, there is variation in the conduct and quality of many published meta-ethnographies. This paper aims to guide occupational therapists on the process of completing a meta-ethnography. Method: A systematic search of articles published from 1986-2016 was conducted. Studies which described an evaluation or critique of meta-ethnography as a research method, and consequently provided reflections or guidance on the method, were included. Two authors independently screened papers and nine relevant papers and one key text were identified. Two authors independently extracted data from identified sources. Results: The seven stages of meta-ethnography described by Noblit and Hare (1988) are presented and integrated with key advancements from subsequent publications. Stages include starting the meta-synthesis, consideration of relevant studies, reading the studies and deciding on how they should be put together, translating the studies into one another, synthesising translations and expressing the synthesis. Conclusion: Given the proliferation of qualitative methods in occupational therapy research, rigorous use of meta-ethnography has great potential to contribute to the research evidence base.
