Objectives: The primary objective was to provide a list of effective motivational strategies based on consensus among rehabilitation experts, generated using the Delphi technique. The secondary objective was to identify the types of information that are important when selecting motivational strategies.
Design: Delphi study.
Setting: On-site survey at academic conferences and web-based survey.
Participants: Rehabilitation experts (N=198) including physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language-hearing therapists who had worked in stroke rehabilitation for at least 5 years.
Intervention: Not applicable.
Main Outcome Measures: Panelists were asked to rate the effectiveness of motivational strategies and to rate the importance of different types of information using a 5-point Likert scale. Consensus was defined as having been reached for items with an interquartile range of 1 or less.
Results: A total of 116 experts (58.6%) completed the third round of the Delphi survey. Consensus was reached on all of the 26 presented strategies. Seven strategies, such as control of task difficulty and goal setting, were considered to be very effective in increasing patient motivation. In addition, all 11 of the presented types of information regarding patient health status, environmental factors, and personal factors were deemed very important or important in determining which motivational strategies to use.
Conclusions: We generated a list of effective motivational strategies for stroke rehabilitation based on expert consensus. Our results suggest that experts consider a comprehensive range of patient information when choosing motivational strategies. These findings represent a group of consensus-based recommendations for increasing patient adherence to stroke rehabilitation programs, which may be beneficial to many medical professionals working in stroke rehabilitation.

This paper explores how small local health departments (LHDs) motivated staff members, communicated progress toward Public Health Accreditation Board accreditation or Pathways Recognition, and celebrated interim and final accreditation accomplishments. Qualitative key informant interviews were conducted with 22 employees and affiliates of 4 LHDs with jurisdiction populations <50 000. LHDs motivated staff through ownership, creative strategies to monitor and record progress, and meaningful no- or low-cost incentives.

College students are important targets for the influenza vaccine given this population's low vaccination rates; however, limited research has focused on international college students' vaccination status. This study examined the relationships between the theory of planned behaviour (TPB; attitudes, perceived behavioural control (PBC) and subjective norms) and students' intention of receiving an influenza vaccine.

Background: Creativity motivated by negative intentions can be referred to as malevolent creativity. While existing findings have largely focused on environmental or individual factors influencing malevolent creativity, less attention has been directed towards understanding how the sense of place-derived from individual-environment interaction-affects malevolent creativity. Additionally, the role of coping styles as mediating mechanisms in negative environments has been insufficiently explored.
