Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 82 Issue 3 (Mars 2019) . - p. 162-169 Titre : Exploring the impact of brain cancer on people and their participation Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kathrine Hammill ; Catherine G. Stewart ; Natasha Kosic ; Lauren Bellamy ; Hannah Irvine ; Dawn Hutley ; Karen Arblaster Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : p. 162-169 Note générale : doi.org/10.1177/0308022618800186 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Oncology  palliative care  glioblastoma  occupational therapy Résumé : Introduction Brain cancer diagnoses are rising, and the prognosis is commonly life-limiting. Brain cancer symptoms and the side effects of treatment are imposing and harmful. Little is known about the effect of these symptoms and treatments on occupational participation or about the role that occupational therapy can play for people with brain cancer. Methods Sixteen participants with brain cancer were purposively recruited from a single site. Data was collected using semi-structured interviews. Interviews were analysed thematically. Results Three overarching themes were identified: (a) ‘there’s a lot of things that I can’t do anymore’: adverse effects of tumour and treatments; (b) ‘you adjust with adversity’: accepting altered occupational participation levels; (c) occupational therapy: ‘why is she here?’ Conclusions Findings highlight a connection between brain cancer symptoms, treatment side effects and occupational participation. A disconnect was found between occupational therapy services and occupational needs. Further research could explore whether realigning occupational therapy services to address the concerns identified in this study leads to enhanced occupational participation through the journey of brain cancer.
