Abstract | Objective: To implement a service-wide approach in the collection of data to evaluate client experience of brain injury rehabilitation. Methods: Mixed methods study. Clients with brain injury and family members of the Liverpool Brain Injury Rehabilitation Unit completed a purpose-designed Patient Experiences Survey for Brain Injury Rehabilitation (PES-BIR) which included closed and free-text responses, as well as the Client Services Questionnaire-8 (CSQ-8). The survey was completed by clients across the inpatient, community rehabilitation, vocational rehabilitation and community-based residential services. Results: 118 questionnaires were completed in relation to 102 clients. The majority of respondents were clients (n = 79, 66.9%) with a small proportion of family members represented (n = 39, 33.1%). High levels of satisfaction were reported (CSQ-8 28.4 ± 3.8) and positive patient experience (PES-BIR total, 37.2 ± 5.5) across all services. Themes identified from the free-text responses suggested that client experience was influenced by communication with the client about their progress and within the team, tailoring of rehabilitation, access to specialist services, integration of care across the rehabilitation continuum and the rehabilitation environment. Implications for practice: Routine collection and evaluation of client experience data in brain injury rehabilitation can be used to evaluate service delivery quality and guide further service improvements. |
