Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.80 Issue 10 (October 2017) . - p. 620-630 Titre : Re-establishing an occupational identity after stroke – a theoretical model based on survivor experience Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kim Walder ; Matthew Molineux Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : p. 620-630 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : identité professionnelle  accident vasculaire cérébral  adaptation Résumé : Introduction Annually, approximately five million people worldwide are left with a permanent disability following a stroke, often with ongoing occupational issues. A deeper understanding of the emerging picture of occupational disruption and identity reconstruction after stroke is needed to inform client-centred practice. Method In-depth interviews using constructivist grounded theory methodology were conducted with six Queensland (Australia) adult stroke survivors. Data analysis identified themes which were woven into an overarching theory about the process of reintegration back into the community and living a meaningful life. Findings The central process of adjustment for all participants was reconstruction of an occupational identity, facilitated through connections within and across three domains – self, others and reality. Connecting with self involved emotional management; motivation; confidence; occupational engagement; and seizing control. Connecting with others included being understood; belonging; receiving help; and interactions. Connecting with reality meant confronting the impact on daily life and one's unfolding life story according to three realities: past reality, the reality of the stroke and future reality.
