Occupational therapists are required to obtain CE units to ensure professional competency. This study examined occupational therapy practitioners to understand: What are OTPs’ perceived challenges and CE needs when working with populations with neurological impairments? And how can CE courses be tailored towards addressing these challenges and gaps in knowledge effectively? There were 14 responses and 6 themes identified. Participants indicated if they had access to supportive resources as well as their preferred mode of delivery for CE. The findings of this study can be used to identify the preferences, specific clinical skillsets currently used, and gaps in supportive resources. Keywords: continuing education, occupational therapy, perceptions, neurorehabilitation
职业治疗师必须获得 CE 单位,以确保其专业能力。本研究对职业治疗从业人员进行了调查,以了解职业治疗师在为有神经系统损伤的人群提供服务时,会遇到哪些挑战并有哪些 CE 需求?如何调整 CE 课程以有效解决这些挑战和知识缺口?共有 14 个回答,确定了 6 个主题。参与者指出了他们是否能获得支持性资源以及他们喜欢的 CE 授课模式。本研究的结果可用于确定学员的偏好、目前使用的特定临床技能集以及支持性资源的缺口。关键词:继续教育、职业疗法、认知、神经康复

A stroke occurs due to a disruption in brain circulation, leading to partial or complete loss of motor, sensory, perceptual, or cognitive abilities. This can result in disability and reduced rehabilitation potential. Therefore, the approach to working with individuals who have experienced a stroke is crucial, adapting to their individual needs in a holistic manner. In this context, the aim of this study was to present a comprehensive rehabilitation approach for an 88-year-old patient following a stroke through the implementation of educational-rehabilitation treatment, achieving gradual improvements in the recovery process. Tests such as the Mini-Mental State Examination, Motor Evaluation Scalefor Upper Extremity in Stroke patients, The Barthel Index for Activities of Daily Living, Aphasic Depression Rating Scale, and The Modified Rankin Scale were applied to assess the set goal. The educational-rehabilitation treatment was conducted daily for 45 minutes, for two months within clinical rehabilitation and nine months in home conditions. The treatment was based on the principles of brain neuroplasticity and motor learning, involving cognitive training, motor training, adaptive skills training, relaxation, education and counseling, motivational training, and the promotion of metacognitive abilities. The research data underwent analysis through descriptive statistics, and the findings were visually illustrated in graphical representations. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that there is noticeable functional progress in the patient across all evaluated areas.Keywords:stroke, rehabilitation, educational-rehabilitation treatment
中风的发生是由于脑部血液循环中断,导致部分或完全丧失运动、感觉、知觉或认知能力。这可能导致残疾和康复潜力下降。因此,与中风患者打交道的方法至关重要,要全面适应他们的个人需求。在这种情况下,本研究的目的是通过实施教育康复治疗,为一名 88 岁的中风患者介绍一种综合康复方法,使其在康复过程中逐步得到改善。研究采用了迷你精神状态检查(Mini-Mental State Examination)、脑卒中患者上肢运动评估量表(Motor Evaluation Scale for Upper Extremity in Stroke patients)、日常生活活动巴特尔指数(The Barthel Index for Activities of Daily Living)、失语抑郁评分量表(Aphasic Depression Rating Scale)和修正兰金量表(The Modified Rankin Scale)等测试来评估既定目标。教育康复治疗每天进行 45 分钟,临床康复治疗为期 2 个月,家庭康复治疗为期 9 个月。治疗基于脑神经可塑性和运动学习的原理,涉及认知训练、运动训练、适应技能训练、放松、教育和咨询、动机训练以及促进元认知能力。通过描述性统计对研究数据进行了分析,并以图表直观地说明了研究结果。根据所获得的结果,可以得出结论:患者在所有评估领域都取得了明显的功能进步。 关键词:脑卒中;康复;教育康复治疗

Assistive technology is recognised as a necessary tool to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities. The use of assistive technology and the quality of related services varies from country to country. However, in most countries, there are some factors that influence the non-use or abandonment of assistive technology.This paper aim is to present the results of studies published in the period between 2015 and 2023 on the factors of non-use and/or abandonment of AT published in the articles cited in the Web of Science database. It also presents some results of three studies conducted in Croatia.The results show that difficulties in not using and abandonment AT appear in different social and cultural settings. Some of the most common factors identified were the health condition of the user, problems with use, inappropriate AT, lack of training of users and experts, lack of support, non-involvement of users in the AT design, etc.The non-use and abandonment of AT can harm the quality of life of people with disabilities. Many factors can influence AT abandonment. It is necessary to determine which factors influence the non-use and refusal to use assistive devices and which types of AT are most frequently not used. Understanding these factors is the first step in reducing the problem. Keywords:assistive technology, non-use, abandonment

This work aims to examine the factor validity and sensitivity of the Scale for assessment of attitudes towards sport's inclusion of children and youth with intellectual disabilities. The study included 155 respondents from the general population over 18 years of age from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The working version of the Scale contained 29 items, and after content validity, the final version had 34 items. The items were subjected to the calculation of the internal consistency coefficient of Cronbach's alpha, as well as reliability assessment by calculating the inter-item statistics. Four rounds of factor analysis were conducted, and the three-factor model was retained, explaining 50.43% of the total variance. The set of 34 items reduced to 21 based on the obtained results. The internal reliability coefficient of = 0.90 indicates that the Scale has excellent reliability and internal agreement. The results of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (KS = 0,058, df = 155, p = 0,200) show that the obtained distribution of the Scale does not deviate statistically significantly from the normal distribution. Results indicate that the Scale can be used in future research on the general population's attitudes towards the sport's inclusion of children and youth with intellectual disabilities.Key words: attitudes, sports inclusion, reliability, sensitivity, exploratory factor analysis.
