مستخلص: Despite the prominence of the concept of autonomy in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities and within disability theory, the relevance of autonomy to occupational engagement is unclear. Using a qualitative, narrative approach, eight adults with significant physical disabilities engaged in iterative interviews exploring their life history and perception of autonomy in daily life. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and themed. Key themes that emerged were that participants valued autonomy differently; their perception of their own personal autonomy influenced both occupational choices and the meaning derived from occupational engagement. While some participants actively sought occupations in which they could make decisions, others preferred more supportive environments, yet all participants avoided situations in which their autonomy was undermined. Awareness of an individual’s values regarding autonomy could assist occupational therapists to both select appropriate occupations for intervention and discuss the meaning derived from occupations, thereby enhancing client-centered practice.

مستخلص: Thirty prisoners and 30 university students were administered the socialization scale of the California Personality Inventory under "honest" and `"fake good" conditions as a means of testing Gough's claim that the scale is immune to any significant degree of `faking good. " While the scale succeeded in differentiating the two groups, both groups-but especially the prisoners—were able to make significant gains in measured socialization under the "fake good" condition. Three prisoners who were classifiable as "psychopaths, " according to their "honest" results on the scale, were able to fake a "best citizen" profile. If it is granted that the scale is a valid measure of socialization, these results cast doubt on Gough's theory that socialization is strictly dependent on role-taking ability.

مستخلص: Objective: To determine levels of satisfaction with information and advice received about stroke disease and relevant issues by community-dwelling stroke survivors.Design: An interview questionnaire survey.Setting: A family health services authority area in northern England.Subjects: Stroke survivors identified by a valid screening questionnaire from a stratified random sample of 2000 subjects aged 45 years and over.Main outcome measure: Proportion of subjects interviewed responding positively to the question 'Do you think you have received enough advice and information on ... ?' eighteen topics considered relevant to stroke survivors.Results: The screening process identified 116 stroke survivors, of whom 76 agreed to be interviewed. The majority (> 80%) of patients were satisfied with information and advice received on lifestyle and health promotion issues, incontinence and their current treatment. However, satisfaction was poor for the areas of stroke disease in general, its effects, available services, and legal and financial affairs (range, 28-75% satisfied).Conclusion: Deficits in the provision of adequate information and advice to stroke patients on relevant issues have been identified in this study of a representative sample of community-dwelling stroke survivors. These deficits need to be addressed by those providing care for stroke patients in order to improve patient satisfaction. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
