Patient perceptions of participation in group-based rehabilitation in an inpatient brain injury rehabilitation setting

Groups are commonly used in health care [1]. The value of opportunities for peer support and learning, and adjustment following injury or illness are consistently identified in the rehabilitation literature [2 –4]. Rehabilitation groups can be used for education, to practice skills and strategies, to maximize therapy intensity, and to provide opportunities for peer support [1,2]. The focus of rehabilitation groups can vary, from discipline specific such as physical fitness and exercise groups [5], to mu ltidisciplinary such as coping skills groups [6].
