Barriers and facilitators to resuming meaningful daily activities among critical illness survivors in the UK: a qualitative content analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify critical illness survivors' perceived barriers and facilitators to resuming performance of meaningful activities when transitioning from hospital to home.

Design

Secondary content analysis of semistructured interviews about patients' experiences of intensive care (primary analysis disseminated on the patient-facing website www.healthtalk.org). Two coders characterised patient-perceived barriers and facilitators to resuming meaningful activities. To facilitate clinical application, we mapped the codes onto the Person-Task-Environment model of performance, a patient-centred rehabilitation model that characterises complex interactions among the person, task and environment when performing activities.

Setting

United Kingdom, 2005-2006.
