Abstract

Occupational therapists use meaningful occupations to improve health and wellbeing, particularly in the rehabilitation setting where therapists aim to maximise client functional outcomes. Camden Hospital inpatient rehabilitation unit provides services to a variety of rehabilitation clients. As part of a general, multidisciplinary rehabilitation program, clients also attend occupation-based groups to relearn everyday living skills. Two occupation-based groups are currently run, the 'breakfast group' and 'outdoor and gardening group'. However, to date there is limited evidence regarding the client experience of group participation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to understand clients' experiences and perceived outcomes of participation in inpatient, occupation-based, group rehabilitation sessions.
