Abstract

Conclusion: Despite the small sample size, the programme was well received by the participants demonstrating that acceptance of the programme was high and supporting its feasibility. The experiential format of the sessions and the recommended activities appeared enjoyable with participants reporting that it enabled them to practice what was learned in the sessions. The qualitative findings suggest that the programme was effective in improving functional ability especially in relation to activities of daily living. Participants evaluated the programme positively and felt the session time and number of sessions was acceptable. These findings support the further development and evaluation of the programme.
