Judith van Velzen, Coen van Bennekom en Monique Frings-Dresen hebben onderzoek gedaan naar het aanbod en de praktijkvariatie van arbeidsgerichte revalidatie na niet-aangeboren hersenletsel. Deze studie en de resultaten zijn vorig jaar gepubliceerd in het artikel ‘Availability of vocational rehabilitation services for people with acquired brain injury in Dutch rehabilitation institutions’.
Dat artikel is te lezen op de website Taylor&Francis online: ‘The objective of this research is to provide an overview of the availability of and process involved in vocational rehabilitation (VR) services for people with acquired brain injury (ABI) provided in Dutch rehabilitation institutions. The results show that fifty-five institutions replied (response rate 46%). VR services for ABI were provided in 34 (62%) of these, of which 20 (59%) used a VR protocol. The main similarities found among different organizations providing VR services were the involvement of different disciplines, determination of the gap between job requirements and the patient’s abilities, goal-setting for VR, involvement of external partners, timing, and source of funding. The main differences found concerned start and stop criteria, and coordination of the VR process. Currently, at least 30% of the Dutch rehabilitation institutions offer VR services for people with ABI; there is variation in processes.’
