“…Further questions asked respondents to identify specific assessments and interventions applied within their facility. These were informed by tools and interventions described in the literature (for example, Arsenault et al, 2016; Dahi, 2019; Ko et al, 2017; Sawant & Ferzandi, 2015; Tomita et al, 2016). There were a range of response options such as check boxes, 5‐point Likert scales, yes/no questions and those with open‐ended responses which allowed feedback on alternative interventions.…”

“…Previous research by physiotherapy authors has identified the efficacy of active ROM (AROM), PROM, splinting, functional mobility, strengthening exercises (Arsenault et al, 2016), isometric and resistance exercises, and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (Nehal & Manisha, 2015; Prada et al, 2020). In addition, occupational therapy research has reported on fatigue management (Sawant & Ferzandi, 2015) and interventions to improve functioning in activities of daily living through provision of adaptations, equipment prescription, and guiding functional use of returning movement in activities of daily living (Dahi, 2019; Ko et al, 2017; Tomita et al, 2016). While the efficacy of common interventions for the upper limb post‐GBS is established, little is known about the contemporary practice on the part of occupational therapists and physiotherapists, including how they integrate goal‐setting tools, assessment tools, and interventions for people with GBS during their hospitalization.…”

Guillain‐Barré syndrome is a rare neurological condition. Although some people make a substantial functional recovery, almost half require intensive rehabilitation. Data were collected using a cross‐sectional survey which investigated the assessments and interventions used by occupational therapists and physiotherapists for people with Guillain‐Barré syndrome. Seventy valid responses were received from 10 countries. The survey highlighted four factors about current practice: (i) practitioners did not identify the use of formal clinical guidelines or protocols for Guillain‐Barré Syndrome treatment of the upper limb; (ii) a range of standardized and non‐standardized assessment and goal‐setting tools are utilized; (iii) interventions include passive and active range of motion exercises, and the prescription of upper limb/hand splints; and (iv) interdisciplinary practice is common in the intensive care unit and during acute phases of Guillain‐Barré syndrome, whereas discipline‐specific work is more common during rehabilitation. A range of goal‐setting and assessment tools are used by occupational therapists and physiotherapists during the hospitalization of people with Guillain‐Barré syndrome. The type and duration of interventions vary and may reflect the lack of international protocols for Guillain‐Barré syndrome rehabilitation.

Introduction: There is little consensus regarding the meaning of quality of life (QOL) within occupational therapy literature. Measurement of QOL has varied in both research and practice. This scoping review explored the definitions and measures used within occupational therapy quantitative intervention research to evaluate QOL as an outcome. Methods: The review was completed by searching six databases using occupational therapy-related and QOLrelated terms. Data were extracted from each article and authors performed descriptive statistics to establish trends for both definitions and measures. Results: Eighteen publications met the inclusion criteria. Seven articles included a definition of QOL. Most authors defined QOL as a multidimensional construct, comprised of varying domains. Fourteen different standardised measures and two non-standardised measures were utilised. Conclusions: A clear conceptualisation of QOL that incorporates occupational therapy values such as clientcentredness and holism is needed to advocate for the profession's role in health care and to encourage the development of suitable outcome measures.KEY WORDS intervention and service provision, occupational therapy research, quality of life, reviews.
