Akarsu K. Nursing care after hand replantation based on Roy's adaptation model: A case report. Int J Orthop Trauma Nurs 2024; 52:101039. [PMID: 37778945 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijotn.2023.101039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2023] [Revised: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 07/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hand injuries are very complex and worrying in terms of hindering activities of daily living, functionality and self-care skills. Hand injuries are caused by traumatic events, resulting in a partial or complete loss. The focus of acute treatment is surgical replantation. AIM In this study, nursing care and nursing experiences of a patient who was replanted as a result of hand trauma were discussed in the light of the Roy Adaptation Model. CASE The male patient admitted to the emergency room due to traumatic amputation was a 49-year-old farmer. He lost his hand to an agricultural tool while working the land and was taken to the hospital within 4 h. He was taken up for emergency surgery for replantation. He has a history of diabetes mellitus. Nursing follow-up and interventions were applied by evaluating the data according to four adaptation modes (physiological needs, self-concept, role function and interdependence) within the scope of the Roy Adaptation Model. CONCLUSION and Suggestions: Patients experience difficulties (loss of function, financial problems, loss of role, psychological traumas) due to disability after injury. Therefore, nurses should know the underlying physiological risks, complications, and interventions to recognize and respond to situations that cause the loss of the reattached limb. Nursing models can identify patients' needs and problems, prevent complications, provide quality care, and manage the process. This study discussed the postoperative nursing care of a patient based on Roy's Adaptation Model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited research and studies prove the usefulness of case management for persons with disabilities, which helps disabled employees recover their dignity through medical vocational, and psychological rehabilitation in underdeveloped countries' Return To Work (RTW) programs. METHODS This qualitative case study design involved semi structured interviews with case managers as the primary data source, supplemented by secondary data from BPJS Ketenagakerjaan. Data analysis utilized QDA Miner Lite and Python with ArcGIS integration for descriptive visualization. RESULTS The RTW program of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan has already adopted ILO's fundamental suggestion, which creates two central themes: internal aspects that are essential to the RTW framework and external variables that impact RTW practice. The key themes produce six main pieces to discuss further: personal skill, personal literacy, providers, guidelines, authorities, and stakeholder support. CONCLUSION Return to Work Program benefits companies, and the implementation of a career development service or a partnership with non-governmental organizations guarantees that disabled employees who cannot return to work with their former employers are still in the global economy.

Ann Phys Rehabil Med 2023; 66:101747. [PMID: 37037157 DOI: 10.1016/j.rehab.2023.101747] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2022] [Revised: 10/28/2022] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 04/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite numerous previous studies, predicting the ability to work (ATW) after an upper limb injury (ULI) remains difficult for those still not working 3-24 months after their initial injury. OBJECTIVES We aimed to identify simple prognostic characteristics that were associated with the long-term ATW for individuals who remained unable to work several months after the accident that caused their ULI. METHODS A single-center prospective observational study in a rehabilitation center in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. We included participants who were 18-60 years old, still unable to work because of persistent pain/disability 3-24 months after an ULI, and who were referred to our rehabilitation center for a 1-month intensive interdisciplinary treatment. Data were collected on personal characteristics, body function/structure variables, activity limitations/participation restrictions, and environmental factors. Participants' evolution during rehabilitation was assessed using functional tests/questionnaires and the 7-level self-reported Patient's Global Impression of Change (PGIC) assessment at discharge. Participant outcomes after 1 year were categorized as either able (ATW>0%) or unable (ATW=0%) to work. The best prognostic characteristics were selected by logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Among the 317 participants, 202 (64%) had an ATW>0% at 1 year. A grip strength ≥16 kg (Jamar Hand Dynamometer score - affected side) and "(I) do not take pain medicine" were independent predictors. Overall, 96% (26/27) of participants with these 2 characteristics had an ATW>0% at 1 year. The simultaneous absence of these characteristics predicted an unfavorable prognosis in 50% (59/119) of participants. For those who also had a positive PGIC score then 100% (25/25) of participants with these 3 characteristics had an ATW>0%; for those without, only 42% (19/45) had an ATW>0%. CONCLUSIONS Grip strength (≥16 kg) and not taking pain medicine are favorable prognostic factors for an ATW after an ULI. Their absence is associated with a poor ATW prognosis for half of people with ULI and should alert caregivers to risk of long-term absenteeism ("red flags"). Including data from a PGIC further improves the ATW prediction. We recommend that these 3 criteria be systematically evaluated.

Self-reported bio-psycho-social factors partially distinguish rotator cuff tendinopathy from other shoulder problems and explain shoulder severity: A case-control study. Musculoskeletal Care 2023; 21:175-188. [PMID: 35983898 DOI: 10.1002/msc.1679] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2022] [Revised: 07/05/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Examine how rotator cuff (RC) tendinopathy differed from other shoulder problems (OSP) by measuring a variety of self-reported bio-psycho-social factors, and establish which explain severity. METHODS A validated online survey battery was used to collect self-reported biopsychosocial variables in an international population. Diagnostic group and severity were the dependent variables. Multiple logistic and linear regression analyses were utilised to generate explanatory models for group differences and severity after group comparison and univariate regression analysis. RESULTS 82 people with RC tendinopathy (50 female, 42.8 ± 13.9 years) and 54 with OSP (33 female, 40.2 ± 14.1 years) were recruited. Both groups had comparable severity results (Shoulder Pain and Disability Index = 37.3 ± 24.5 vs. 33.7 ± 22.5). Seven factors individually differentiated RC tendinopathy from OSP. The multivariable model included 4 factors: activity effect on pain (OR(95%CI) = 2.24(1.02-4.90)), previous injury in the shoulder (OR(95% CI) = 0.30(0.13-0.69)), activity level (moderate OR(95% CI) = 3.97(1.29-12.18), high OR(95% CI) = 3.66(1.41-9.48)) and self-efficacy (OR(95%CI) = 1.12(1.02-1.22)) demonstrating acceptable accuracy. The second multivariable model for RC tendinopathy severity included one demographic, three psychological and two biomedical variables (β(range) = 0.19-0.38) and explained 68% of the variance. CONCLUSION Self-reported bio-psycho-social variables may be beneficial for further detailed clinical assessment as they partially distinguish RC tendinopathy from OSP, even when the groups have comparable overall pain and functional problems. Moreover, these variables were shown to be substantially associated with RC tendinopathy severity variance, implying that the clinical evaluation might be improved, perhaps by pre-consultation online data collection. The models should be validated in the future and considered alongside data from physical and imaging examinations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Active patient engagement and adherence are essential for successful rehabilitation outcomes, particularly in complex cases such as work-related musculoskeletal injuries. Although the therapist-patient relationship is a significant component of successful care coordination, there has been limited examination of this relationship within upper extremity musculoskeletal rehabilitation. OBJECTIVE To explore therapists' perspectives on how the therapist-patient relationship intersects with engagement and adherence in the provision of holistic and collaborative rehabilitation services. METHODS Data were collected from four therapists over three months. Descriptive statistics were generated from the Sport Injury Rehabilitation Adherence Scale (SIRAS) and the Rehabilitation Therapy Engagement Scale (RTES) completed by therapists following visits from a sub-sample of patients (n = 14). Weekly semi-structured group interviews (n = 13) were analyzed using an iterative grounded theory-informed process. Emerging themes were identified, refined, and situated within the context of quantitative results. RESULTS SIRAS scores averaged 14.4 (SD: 1.0) and RTES scores averaged 42.5 (SD: 3.5), indicating high perceived patient engagement and adherence. Four themes emerged from therapist interviews: (1) dynamic power; (2) co-constructed engagement; (3) emotional states; (4) complementary therapy contexts. CONCLUSION In this engaged and adherent setting, therapist-patient relationships were complex and intimate, and extended beyond education and physical interventions. Careful management of this relationship was central to active patient participation and engagement. Incorporating holistic techniques may provide more structure for managing and communicating these aspects of care. These findings provide a preliminary understanding of the impact of therapeutic relationships on engagement and collaborative care.

Abstract
Primary care physicians are uniquely positioned to assist ill and injured workers to stay-at-work or to return-to-work. Purpose The purpose of this scoping review is to identify primary care physicians' learning needs in returning ill or injured workers to work and to identify gaps to guide future research. Methods We used established methodologies developed by Arksey and O'Malley, Cochrane and adapted by the Systematic Review Program at the Institute for Work & Health. We used Distiller SR©, an online systematic review software to screen for relevance and perform data extraction. We followed the PRISMA for Scoping Reviews checklist for reporting. Results We screened 2106 titles and abstracts, 375 full-text papers for relevance and included 44 studies for qualitative synthesis. The first learning need was related to administrative tasks. These included (1) appropriate record-keeping, (2) time management to review occupational information, (3) communication skills to provide clear, sufficient and relevant factual information, (4) coordination of services between different stakeholders, and (5) collaboration within teams and between different professions. The second learning need was related to attitudes and beliefs and included intrinsic biases, self-confidence, role clarity and culture of blaming the patient. The third learning need was related to specific knowledge and included work capacity assessments and needs for sick leave, environmental exposures, disclosure of information, prognosis of certain conditions and care to certain groups such as adolescents and pregnant workers. The fourth learning need was related to awareness of services and tools. Conclusions There are many opportunities to improve medical education for physicians in training or in continuing medical education to improve care for workers with an illness or injury that affect their work.

Aust Occup Ther J 2022; 70:233-245. [PMID: 36367158 DOI: 10.1111/1440-1630.12851] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2021] [Revised: 10/06/2022] [Accepted: 10/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET) is one of the most prevalent work-related musculoskeletal conditions. Current treatments for LET focus mainly on the physiological symptoms of pain, grip strength, and function. Recently, a novel workplace-based hand therapy educational intervention, Working Hands-ED, was developed based on the Person-Environment-Occupation- Performance model, International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health framework and the Australian Clinical Framework for the Delivery of Health Services. Combining a hand therapist's specialised knowledge and skills in upper limb rehabilitation with an approach that considers injured workers' occupations and work environments may provide a more holistic approach to managing work-related LET. To the best of our knowledge, no previous studies have investigated the experiences of hand therapists who perform workplace-based educational interventions for the management of LET. METHOD An exploratory, descriptive qualitative design using semi-structured interviews was used with hand therapists who delivered the novel hand therapy intervention Working Hands-ED. FINDINGS Ten occupational therapists working in hand therapy were interviewed. Three main themes and eight subthemes were identified from interview data: Person-centred approach, opportunity for therapists to provide enhanced service, and improved stakeholder engagement in the return-to-work process. Logistical challenges such as the costs and time spent away from the clinical setting were identified. CONCLUSION All hand therapists reported delivering Working Hands-ED when managing work-related LET was a positive experience for them. They believed that the novel intervention could provide a more holistic approach to care that added value to their service delivery; however, there were some logistical factors to consider including the additional time and costs associated with the intervention.
