Intermediate care: what are service users' experiences of rehabilitation?

Intermediate care: what are service users' experiences of rehabilitation? The Department of Health's introduction of intermediate care recognised the need for rehabilitation following acute hospital care. The importance of rehabilitation was also stressed by a review carried out across England and Wales by District Audit. This article reports a phenomenological study carried out to explore service users' experiences of a 22-bedded intermediate care service. Face-to-face, semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight service users who were older people, with a further follow-up interview two weeks later. Data was analysed using an open-coding and theming approach. One of the six emergent themes is discussed in this article: service users' rehabilitation experiences.

Abstract

The Department of Health's introduction of intermediate care recognised the need for rehabilitation following acute hospital care. The importance of rehabilitation was also stressed by a review carried out across England and Wales by District Audit. This article reports a phenomenological study carried out to explore service users' experiences of a 22-bedded intermediate care service. Face-to-face, semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight service users who were older people, with a further follow-up interview two weeks later. Data was analysed using an open-coding and theming approach. One of the six emergent themes is discussed in this article: service users' rehabilitation experiences. Data was themed into a rehabilitation framework of users' understanding, assessment and goal setting, interventions and transfer home.
