Exploratory study on the adaptation of online services offered to people with disabilities, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Aim: During the COVID-19 pandemic, many community organizations offering services to people with disabilities (PWD) changed their service delivery, switching from in-person to remote services. However, little is known about what it was like for organizations to quickly pivot their service delivery. The study explored barriers and facilitators to access community services for PWD and identified potential improvements to these services.

Assessment of Users' Needs and Expectations Toward Clinical Practice Guidelines to Support the Rehabilitation of Adults With Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury.

Objective: Stakeholder engagement in clinical practice guideline (CPG) creation is thought to increase relevance of CPGs and facilitate their implementation. The objectives were to survey stakeholders involved in the care of adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI) regarding general perceptions of CPGs, key elements to be included, and needs and expectations about format and implementation strategy.

Settings: Hospitals and inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation facilities providing services to persons with TBI.

Absenteeism screening questionnaire (ASQ): a new tool for predicting long-term absenteeism among workers with low back pain.

Introduction: Over the last decades, psychosocial factors were identified by many studies as significant predictive variables in the development of disability related to common low back disorders, which thus contributed to the development of biopsychosocial prevention interventions. Biopsychosocial interventions were supposed to be more effective than usual interventions in improving different outcomes. Unfortunately, most of these interventions show inconclusive results.

Validation of an adaptation of the stress process model for predicting low back pain related long-term disability outcomes: a cohort study.

Study Design: Twelve-month cohort study.

Objective: The aim of the study was to examine the ability of an adaptation of the stress process model to predict different outcomes among low back pain (LBP) sufferers.

Summary Of Background Data: Recently, the stress process model was adapted and was shown to be useful to partially explain long-term disability related to low back pain, an important occupational health problem.
