■在这项研究中,我们试图研究下肢假肢使用者如何定义成功,他们把什么与成功联系在一起,以及哪些障碍和促进者有助于取得成功。
■招募有目的的下肢假肢使用者参加焦点小组研究。使用归纳主题分析对焦点组的逐字记录进行分析。确定的结构被映射到现有的结果测量,并提出了下肢假肢成功的概念框架。
■31名下肢假肢使用者参加了五个焦点小组之一。开发了五个主题:继续前进,尽管起起伏伏;能够过我的正常生活,做我想做的事情轻松;学习什么对我有用以及如何管理我的假肢;只有我能定义我的成功;以及我的心理健康呢?包括假肢注意力,截肢后的悲伤/损失,和对假肢的信任。参与者描述的成功促进者包括同伴联系,找到合适的假肢,心理健康支持。
■根据下肢假肢使用者的说法,成功必须由病人驱动,单独定义,不断重新评估。
根据假肢使用者的说法,下肢假肢的成功应该由患者驱动,单独定义,不断重新评估。下肢假肢使用者描述了成功的促进者,包括同伴联系,找到合适的假肢,心理健康支持,并获得适当的假肢技术。下肢假肢使用者描述的与目前难以衡量的成功有关的构造包括假肢注意力,截肢后的悲伤/损失,假体管理,融入其中的能力,对假肢的信任.
UNASSIGNED: In this study, we sought to examine how lower limb prosthesis users define success, what constructs they associate with success, and what barriers and facilitators contribute to achieving success.
UNASSIGNED: Purposively sampled lower limb prosthesis users were recruited to participate in a focus group study. Verbatim transcripts from focus groups were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. Identified constructs were mapped to existing outcome measures, and a conceptual framework for success with a lower limb prosthesis was proposed.
UNASSIGNED: Thirty-one lower limb prosthesis users participated in one of five focus groups. Five themes were developed: keep moving forward, despite ups and downs; being able to live MY normal life and do the things I want to do with ease; learning what works for me and how to manage my prosthesis; only I can define my success; and what about my mental health? Several constructs that do not align with existing measures were identified, including prosthetic attention, grief/loss after amputation, and trust in prosthesis. Facilitators for success described by participants included peer connection, finding the right prosthetist, and mental health support.
UNASSIGNED: According to lower limb prosthesis users, success must be patient-driven, individually defined, and continually reassessed.
According to prosthesis users, success with a lower limb prosthesis should be patient-driven, individually defined, and continually reassessed.Lower limb prosthesis users described facilitators for success to include peer connection, finding the right prosthetist, mental health support, and access to appropriate prosthetic technology.Constructs described by lower limb prosthesis users as relating to success that are currently difficult to measure include prosthetic attention, grief/loss after amputation, prosthesis management, ability to blend in, and trust in the prosthesis.
