Research summary
Aims:
To complete qualitative research with use of semi-structured interviews. This will establish patients' self perceived performance in activities of daily living (ADL) associated with their coronary heart disease (CHD).Research questions:
Can the application of a client centered approach through semi- structured interviews support patients in expressing their self perceived performance in ADLs? Are there any themes of self perceived functional difficulties and goals amongst the patients?Rationale:
CHD is the UK's biggest single cause of death. In Wales, it is responsible for 4,000 deaths annually. However, figures indicate that since 1961 death rates have reduced by almost 3/4 and that the number of prescriptions in Wales for cardiac disease continues to rise (British Heart Foundation statistics, 2015). People are living longer with CHD, therefore it is felt that functional difficulties associated with CHD should be an area of interest. Functional limitations present themselves in difficulties during performance of ADL, which often arise due to symptoms of physical limitations (Kono et al, 2012).Methods:
Semi-structured interviews based upon the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure- COPM (Law et al., 2014). Sample to include male and female above 18years. Thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006)will be used to analyse data.References:
