3 I. Rehabilitation Defined Over the next few decades, two trends will combine to increase the need for rehabilitation. First the numbers of people with chronic illnesses and disability are expected to rise and second, the number of older adults is increasing rapidly as Baby Boomers are aging. Rehabilitation is a philosophy of practice and an attitude toward caring for people with disabilities and chronic health problems. It is an approach to caring for people with disabilities which leads to the development of a meaningful context in which to live. The overall goal of rehabilitation is to improve the quality of life and to help a person, who has a disability or chronic health problem in restoring, maintaining and promoting his or her maximal health. Rehabilitation is contingent on a team approach. (Association of Rehabilitation Nurses ARN Core Curriculum 2007 p. 3) The World Health Organization in 1980 developed the International Classification of Impairment, Disability and Handicap. This classification system defines the following: Impairment- A loss or abnormality of a psychological, physiological, or anatomical structure or function. Disability A restriction or lack of ability to perform an activity in the manner or within the range considered normal for a human being. Handicap- A disadvantage for a given person resulting from impairment or disability that limits or prevents fulfillment of a role that is normal for a human being. II. Evolution of Rehabilitation Advances in health care over the past century have enabled people to live longer lives and to recover from injuries and illnesses that were previously fatal. With these advances, however, have come disabilities and chronic (lasting more than 3 months) illnesses, that forever change the way a person lives in the world. The field of rehabilitation arose to help such individuals and families integrate the changes associated with disability and chronic illness into their lives. Ancient Western civilizations viewed disease and disability as a result of evil spirits. Consequently these individuals were considered possessed and they were feared and shunned. Parents in ancient Rome could legally drown infants with congenital anomalies. The Middle Ages saw disabled individuals burned as witches and other individuals were used as court jesters. World War II society in Germany viewed those living with disabilities or handicaps as flawed and Page 3 of 12
4 these individuals were the first to be exterminated in the Holocaust. Here in the U.S. Individuals with disabilities were often employed by carnivals and circus side shows. Thankfully the philosophical approaches and attitudes have changed radically over time. Rehabilitation, as we know it today, grew out of the wars of the 20 th century- World War I, World War II, the Korean Conflict, and the Vietnam War- and it continues to evolve with our service personnel returning from the Middle East. Large numbers of soldiers survived their injuries, but often faced serious disabilities in returning from the wars. As a result, military hospitals established rehabilitation units that focused extensive efforts on returning these men to society. In 1974 the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses was formed and nursing, which had always been involved in rehabilitation, formally became recognized as a specialty. III. Legislative Initiatives Legislation in the United States has played a significant role in rehabilitation. - The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 encouraged efforts to hire people with disabilities and prohibited unfair treatment of individuals with disabilities in activities supported in any way by federal funds. - In 1975, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act required states to provide education free of cost to any school-age child. -The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 is most comprehensive in requiring that public buildings and transportation be made accessible to all. This act also prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in the workplace. Results of these legislative acts have served to increase social acceptance of people with disabilities and to provide opportunities for them to maximize their potential. Rehabilitation is a vital component of healthcare and the need is greater than ever before. IV. Rehabilitation Team Models The rehabilitation team consists of, first and foremost, the individual and his or her family. Team members contributing to a person s rehabilitation are varied and across many disciplines. Four models for team functioning have been described: medical, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary. Page 4 of 12
5 A. Medical Model: This model is a physician centered model of care in which all care is directed by the physician. This model is not consistent with rehabilitation philosophy or goals and is uncommon in rehabilitation practice. B. Multidisciplinary Model: The multidisciplinary team, which may be seen in rehabilitation, is one in which the professionals work in parallel; each discipline works toward particular client goals, with very little overlap between disciplines. Each discipline takes responsibility for their own activities. Communication is more vertical than lateral, with the leader controlling team conferences. In this model the person working directly with the patient does not always participate in team planning; rather, the department managers usually attend team conferences. Teams combine the efforts of various disciplines. Each discipline within a multidisciplinary team sets its own discipline-specific goals, and works within the discipline boundaries to achieve these goals independently. This model is effective when the team membership is not stable. C. Interdisciplinary Model: The interdisciplinary model is a matrix-like model in which lateral communication is predominant. This is an effective model when team membership is stable and is most effective in an inpatient rehabilitation setting. This model of care applies a holistic view of the person. Holistic care requires that each client be viewed as a whole, with the entire team working toward the attainment of common client-centered goals. Decisions are made by the group working directly with the patient. This means that mutual trust among team members must be established, and conflict resolution is an important skill to be used by team members. Team goal setting is an important feature of this model. D. Transdisciplinary Model: This is a newer team model. In this model the patient has a primary provider from the team, who then is guided by the team in caring for the client. For instance the primary provider may be the nurse who provides physical, speech or occupational therapy based on the advice and counsel he or she receives from team members in those disciplines. Similarly, the primary therapist could be a physical therapist or a speech therapist. This model requires flexibility and receptiveness on the part of the team members because individual roles are less distinct. This model raises many issues regarding licensure and accountability. This is best suited for situations in which the client is in stable condition and most probably in need of long term services such as SNFs or Home Care services. Page 5 of 12
6 Regardless of the rehabilitation team model, all team members can increase their effectiveness by understanding collaborative practice, group dynamics, conflict resolution, and team functioning. Components for any effective team include the following: Trust Communication Shared responsibility Mutual Respect Knowledge Cooperation Coordination Optimism, and lastly, Commitment from each member of the team V. Provision of Services The rehabilitation philosophy can infuse any healthcare setting. Collaboration between team members, the individual, family and community is a vital aspect of rehabilitation. In acute rehabilitation units, the client: must require 24-hour nursing care at a skilled level, must require physician contact at least daily, can be medically unstable or stable, is able to participate in a least 3-4 hours of therapy per day ; and, requires the interdisciplinary services of the entire rehab team of professionals. Achieving continuity across the continuum of care means, 1. providing physical and emotional support to the client before and during transfers 2. ensuring timely transfer of pertinent information in accordance with HIPAA standards 3. continuing the treatment plan without interruption 4. maintaining consistency of the treatment approach across all disciplines 5. managing pain so the patient can participate in therapy 6. concise documentation of the care delivered, goals established and progress toward these goals. Clients may feel overwhelmed or lack confidence when they move into the rehab. setting, and may not be able to transfer skills without assistance from the rehab staff, thus physical and emotional support are essential. Communication among staff should be timely, detailed, complete, and to the right people. Facilities and programs need to develop information systems to share data and avoid repeated assessments so that treatments can be continued in a consistent, uninterrupted manner. A. Client-centered care: Client-centered models are those serving specialized populations. The focus may be on a specific developmental stage, such as pediatric or elderly clients, or on a type of impairment, such as spinal cord or head injury. Providers can focus their resources and gain extensive expertise through experience. Page 6 of 12
7 B. Setting-centered care: Acute, long term, outpatient, home care and community are the traditional models focusing on settings. Another category of setting-focused rehabilitation is subacute care in which individuals continue to require substantial medical care and who are slower to progress. C. Provider-centered care: Provider-centered models reflect how healthcare providers have decided to organize the provision of care. Many models have been used over the years with the goal of maximizing the use of human resources. Within nursing, functional, team, and primary nursing, and case management have been the prevalent models. In the rehabilitation field, no single model dominates, and several models coexist. VI. Rehabilitation Nursing Perspectives Nursing brings a unique, holistic focus to rehabilitation. While members of other disciplines treat particular aspects of a person, nurses focus on the person as a whole, thus providing continuity and integrity to the client s rehabilitation experience. The goal of rehabilitation nursing is assisting the individual with a disability or a chronic disease toward maximal health through health restoration, maintenance, and program. The role of the rehabilitation nurse is to help the client take charge of his or her own care and to achieve optimal physical functioning. The nurse must work with all members of the rehab team to bring everything together to help the patient to meet team and personal goals and expectations. VII. Rehabilitation Core Values Individuals with functional limitations have intrinsic worth that transcends their disability and or chronic illness. Individuals are complex yet unified, whole persons who have the right and the responsibility to make informed decisions about their future. Individuals may benefit from rehabilitation at any stage of the life span. Page 7 of 12
