View Award Description

Assessing the clinical impact of recreational therapy as part of rehabilitation services for brain injury: A mixed-method investigation - Assessing the clinical impact of recreational therapy as part of rehabilitation services for brain injury: A mixed-method investigation Craig Hospital, as well as key stakeholder and scientific advisors, will build upon previous work that standardized elements of Therapeutic Recreation (TR) in Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), and assess the clinical impact of TR as part of rehabilitation services for Brain Injury (BI) (target population). Our overall approach is to conduct a convergent, parallel mixed-methods research design, with objectives to 1) assess the feasibility and acceptability of using the SCI Rehab Project Therapeutic Recreation Taxonomy to collect and retrieve data on TR sessions occurring during inpatient rehabilitation; (2) identify the “active ingredients” of TR that most effectively improve functional and/or psychosocial outcomes after BI (target population); (3) collect new data from BI patients (in addition to an updated SCI sample) during inpatient rehabilitation to determine which patient-, TR therapy-, and post-discharge factors are most predictive of improved rehabilitation outcomes at 6-and 12-months follow-up; and (d) compare the unique effects of TR for BI and SCI patients considered “young adult” (aged 16-25) compared to the rest of the sample. Anticipated outcomes include 1) implementation of a standardized data collection process for systematic data collection of RT services; 2) identification of key factors of TR which impact BI rehabilitation, and 3) generation of new knowledge on TR’s impact on youths (16-25) and adults (25+) up to a year following inpatient discharge. Products include empirically-based clinical practice, at least two manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals; presentations at national conferences; clinician training/education via in-services to staff; and reports to key stakeholders and the public.
