Using framework analysis to understand multiple stakeholders' views of vocational rehabilitation following acquired brain injury.
Brain Impairment : a Multidisciplinary Journal of the Australian Society for the Study of Brain Impairment 2023 September
PURPOSE: To explore how vocational rehabilitation (VR) is currently delivered for individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI) across multiple stakeholder groups and identify areas for improvement in service delivery using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR).
METHODS: Seven focus groups were conducted with rehabilitation clinicians; outreach providers, insurers/regulators, VR providers and disability employment service providers ( n = 44) experienced in VR of individuals with ABI. All groups were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data analysis was guided by the CFIR constructs.
RESULTS: All stakeholder groups believed they offered quality VR interventions given available resources and legislation, but many clients fell through the 'cracks'. Themes that were identified included: a) number and complexity of systems supporting VR; b) fractured communication across systems, c) lack of knowledge by both stakeholders and clients in navigating systems, d) lack of expertise in supporting the vocational needs of clients with ABI and e) perceived limited awareness of ABI by employers.
CONCLUSION: Stakeholders and clients need support to navigate Australia's complex VR pathways. Limited specialist ABI clinicians, VR providers and disability employment services were identified as barriers for effective VR. Domains of the CFIR were appropriate for organising and understanding how VR is delivered.
