ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Goal setting is an essential component of reablement programmes. At the same time it is also an important aspect in the evaluation of reablement from the perspective of clients.OBJECTIVES:
As part of the TRANS-SENIOR project, this research aims to get an in-depth insight of goal setting and goal attainment within reablement services from the perspective of the older person. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
A convergent mixed methods design was used, combining data from electronic care files, and completed Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) forms with individual interviews.RESULTS:
In total, 17 clients participated. Participants' meaningful goals mainly focused on self-care, rather than leisure or productivity. This mattered most to them, since being independent in performing self-care tasks increased clients' confidence and perseverance. Regarding goal attainment, a statistically significant and clinically relevant increase in self-perceived performance and satisfaction scores were observed.CONCLUSION:
Although most goals focused on self-care, it became apparent that these tasks matter to participants, especially because these often precede fundamental life goals.SIGNIFICANCE:
Reablement can positively contribute to goal setting and attainment of clients and may contribute to increased independence. However, effectiveness, and subsequently long-term effects, are not yet accomplished and should be evaluated in future research.Palavras-chave
