What this trial studies
This exploratory qualitative study employs a hermeneutic phenomenological approach to investigate the experiences of patients hospitalized for neurorehabilitation due to conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and post-neurosurgery for oncological reasons. Patients will participate in semi-structured interviews to gather in-depth insights into their treatment and hospitalization experiences. The study aims to identify themes related to well-being, rehabilitation processes, and the overall patient experience during hospitalization. Sampling will be conducted according to the saturation method for each pathology group.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include hospitalized patients with stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or those recovering from neurosurgery for oncological conditions who can communicate effectively.
Not a fit: Patients unable to provide valid consent, those with severe cognitive deficits, or those not undergoing neurorehabilitation treatment may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of patient experiences, leading to improved rehabilitation practices and patient-centered care.
How similar studies have performed: While qualitative studies on patient experiences in rehabilitation exist, this specific approach focusing on neurorehabilitation is relatively novel.
