“…Such factors have been previously identified in different contexts. For example, alternative explanatory processes of stroke and its recovery have been identified in non-Western communities [ 29–32 ], and poor stroke knowledge in minority ethnic groups is a common research finding [ 33–35 ]. Furthermore, it has been suggested that differences in recovery concepts based on cultural understandings may influence the therapeutic interaction [ 36 ] and the role of the professional as the expert has particularly potency in minority ethnic communities [ 37 ].…”

Purpose: The utility of self-management with people from minority ethnic backgrounds has been questioned, resulting in the development of culturally specific tools. Yet, the use of stroke specific self-management programmes is underexplored in these high risk groups. This article presents the experience of stroke therapists in using a stroke specific self-management programme with stroke survivors from minority ethnic backgrounds. Methods: 26 stroke therapists with experience of using the self-management programme with stroke survivors from minority ethnic backgrounds participated in semi-structured interviews. These were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically. Results: Three themes were identified. One questioned perceived differences in stroke survivors interaction with self-management based on ethnicity. The other themes contrasted with this view demonstrating two areas in which ethnic and cultural attributes were deemed to influence the self-management process both positively and negatively. Aspects of knowledge of health, illness and recovery, religion, family and the professionals themselves are highlighted. Conclusions: This study indicates that ethnicity should not be considered a limitation to the use of an individualized stroke specific self-management programme. However, it highlights potential facilitators and barriers, many of which relate to the capacity of the professional to effectively navigate cultural and ethnic differences.Implications for RehabilitationStroke therapists suggest that ethnicity should not be considered a barrier to successful engagement with a stroke specific self-management programme.Health, illness and recovery beliefs along with religion and the specific role of the family do however need to be considered to maximize the effectiveness of the programme.A number of the facilitators and barriers identified are not unique to stroke survivors from ethnic minority communities, nor shared by all.The therapists skills at negotiating identified barriers to self-management are highlighted as an area for further development.

“…As per other developing countries, people with PD in Arab countries may have limited access to resources. In the vast majority of Arab countries, rehabilitation centers for adults with disability are very few and extremely underdeveloped . In particular, multiprofessional rehabilitation centers with specialized trained therapists for people with PD is almost lacking.…”

“…As yet, the custom around the physical contact between men and women in Arabic Islamic countries has its consideration in terms of the access that these women can get out of community rehabilitation services. Community work in Arab countries is restricted to male therapists; this limits therapy for women if available to their homes.…”

“…Stroke patients’ preferences for specific rehabilitation settings have been explored in studies conducted in countries such as Jordan (AL-Oraibi et al 2011 ), the United States (Gregory et al 2010 ) and New Zealand (Hale et al 2003 ). The home was preferred by an overwhelming majority of patients in the US and Jordan studies while no clear preference was established in the New Zealand study.…”

BackgroundIncorporating patients’ preferences in the care they receive is an important component of evidence-based practice and patient-centred care.ObjectiveThis study assessed stroke patients’ preferences regarding rehabilitation settings.MethodsA cross-sectional design was used to examine preferences of stroke patients receiving physiotherapy at three hospitals in Northern Nigeria. Personal factors and preferred rehabilitation setting data were obtained using the Modified Rankin Scale (to assess global disability) and a researcher-developed questionnaire. Associations between preferences and personal factors were explored using bivariate statistics.ResultsSixty stroke patients whose mean age was 53.6 ± 14.8 years participated in the study. Most of the participants (38.3%) preferred an outpatient setting, 19 (31.7%) preferred rehabilitation in their homes, 14 chose inpatient rehabilitation (23.3%), while 4 (6.7%) preferred the community. Age and source of finance were significantly associated with preferences. The majority (66.7%) of those aged ≥ 65 years expressed a preference for rehabilitation in the home or community (X2 = 6.80; p = 0.03). Similarly, most of the participants (53.3%) who depended on family finances preferred home- or community-based rehabilitation, while most of those who depended on employment income for finances preferred an outpatient rehabilitation setting (X2 = 16.80; p = 0.01).ConclusionA preference for rehabilitation in outpatient facilities predominated followed by home-based rehabilitation, and preferences varied based on age and source of finance. These variations in preferences have implications for making rehabilitation decisions.
