P27 Psycho-social process underlying motivations to participate in a research study: a grounded theory study in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer
No full textBackground and Objective: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents 85% of lung cancers, and no standardized and well-studied
rehabilitation approaches are available [1]. The willingness to participate in an experimental study and treatment compliance are critical
issues that emerged in the conduct of clinical research, also in the rehabilitation field [2]. Aim of this study was to analyze the psychosocial process that occurs when it is proposed to patients with
NSCLC to participate in a rehabilitation research project, and what
brings them to join that.
Materials and methods: This was a Grounded Theory qualitative
study, part of a larger project (PuReAIR) aimed to analyze the effectiveness of a rehabilitative intervention in patients with NSCLC that is
currently in place in the AUSL-IRCCS of Reggio Emilia. Subjects were
recruited among those participating in the PuReAIR project, and subsequent snowball sampling was adopted. A semi-structured interview
was used to investigate patients experience. Data were encoded by
constructing of conceptual categories to build a theory.
Results: A total of 9 subjects were included in this study. The analysis
of the data revealed that the investigated process is based on two
main categories: i) trust in science and ii) in the subject that proposes
the study, reinforced by a strong perception of the established therapeutic relationship with the operators -in the foreground the Physiotherapists- and fed by the positive feedback.
Conclusions: The proposal to participate in an experimental rehabilitative treatment, advanced immediately after the diagnosis of cancer,
was welcomed by the patients. Being able to take advantage of a
new therapy opportunity, that does not involve risks and that is perceived as help for oneself and others, are important elements for the
patient, who can help in the decision to adhere to the
experimentation

Programme of perioperative pulmonary rehabilitation in surgically treated lung cancer patients: preliminary data
No full textBackground and Objective: Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
comprises 85% of all lung cancers. Lung resection is the election
treatment but surgery might have a significant impact on Quality of
Life (QoL) and physical condition. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), both
before and after surgery, including aerobic and strength exercises,
could reduce symptoms and morbidity and improve exercise capacity, pulmonary function and QoL.
Aim: investigate the efficacy of intensive PR on exercise capacity for
NSCLC patients surgically treated
Therapeutic patients education program in addition to physical activity to engage onco-heamatological patients in managing cancer-related fatigue
No full textAttività fisica ed educazione terapeutica in pazienti oncoematologiciDealing with Cancer-Related Fatigue (CRF) is the first unmet
need reported by onco-haematological patients, and it’s due to
the disease and to treatment side effects. It is known that
Physical Activity (PA) could be beneficial in CRF’s management
and that most patients need accurate information about consented PA and disease management. Several studies showed
that Therapeutic Patient Education (TPE) Programs could help
people with chronic illnesses to manage their conditions, but
their application is still poor or not well structured

Single-Subject Design: Experimental Designs for Research and for Clinical Practice
No full textBackground: The individual variability among people presenting
motor impairments often leads to the difficulty to obtain an adequate sample size in the conduction of trials in physiotherapy. Furthermore, in clinical practice, it is often difficult to recognize the
relationship between the administration of a treatment and its expected results. Psychological and educational sciences often use
single-subject design (SSD) studies to explore behaviours under experimental conditions. This study design allows to test the relationship between an independent variable, the treatment, and a
dependent variable, the main outcome of interest. The purpose of
this work is to present researchers and clinicians the methodology of
the SSD studies and their application in physiotherapy both in research context and everyday practice [1]
VALIDAZIONE TRANS-CULTURALE DELLA SCHEDA DI VALUTAZIONE ACTIVITIES SCALE FOR KIDS PERFORMANCE (ASKP): STIMA DELL’AFFIDABILITÀ DELLA VERSIONE ITALIANA NELLA POPOLAZIONE CON PARALISI CEREBRALE INFANTILE
No full textLa paralisi cerebrale infantile (PCI) è la più comune causa di disabilità dell’infanzia. I bambini con PCI sperimentano spesso difficoltà nelle attività della vita quotidiana, pertanto la misurazione delle loro performance in queste attività, diviene un aspetto prioritario dell’intervento riabilitativo. La Activities Scale for Kids performance (ASKp) è una scala validata su bambini con disturbi muscoloscheletrici (Young, 2000), il cui utilizzo è diffuso anche nella popolazione con PCI (James, 2014), in quanto ha il vantaggio di cogliere la percezione del paziente rispetto alla propria abilità (Young, 1995).
L’obiettivo di questo studio è ottenere una stima dell’affidabilità della versione italiana della scala ASKp (Fabbri, 2016) nella popolazione con PCI
Home-based occupational therapy to reduce disability and enhance social reintegration in complex patients in Reggio Emilia.

In the last 3 years, a multidisciplinary research group developed
a project focusing on occupational therapy (OT) for complex
patients admitted to Rehabilitation Unit of the IRCCS-ASMN.
The aim was promoting recovery of the best level of independence in ADL and finding strategies to return to a satisfying social
life. The study showed statistically significant improvement in
COPM in patients treated with OT + standard rehabilitation
care, and allowed researchers to focus some patients unmet
needs, dealing with social reintegration
Return to work of cancer survivors in Europe: systematic review of the literature
No full textBackground and Objective: Cancer incidence and survival are growing. Over 1/3 of cancer survivors (CSs) are in their working-age [1].
CSs experience pain, fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, mood disorders
that may adversely affect social functioning [2].
Systematic reviews show 64% employment rate for CSs, with high
variability in different contexts (range 24% -94%) [3]. We
reviewed the recent literature on the employment rate of CS in
Europe, investigating the factors influencing the return to work
