To examine clients' perspectives on residential rehabilitation for acquired brain injury (ABI).
Qualitative semi-structured interviews.
Seven individuals who resided in a single residential rehabilitation unit for ABI were interviewed and thematic analysis was used to identify themes in their responses.
The analysis identified four themes: rebuilding self-belief, reflecting participants' sense of independence and confidence in their ability; recognition of personal identity, including a number of personal traits; acceptance and change, incorporating coming to terms with their ABI and identifying change; and a sense of community atmosphere, reflecting clients' perception of their own role and relationships with others.
The results provide in-depth qualitative understanding of how clients' perceived their experience within a residential rehabilitation unit for ABI. Implications of the results are discussed, including the identification of potential beneficial talking therapies for clients within this setting.
考察客户对后天性脑损伤（ABI）住院康复的看法。
定性半结构化访谈。
对七名居住在单一ABI住院康复单元的个体进行访谈，并采用主题分析法确定他们回答中的主题。
分析确定了四个主题：重建自我信念，反映参与者的独立感和对自身能力的信心；认同个人身份，包括一些个人特质；接受与改变，包括接受自身的ABI并确定改变；以及社区氛围感，反映客户对自身角色以及与他人关系的认知。
研究结果提供了对客户如何看待其在ABI住院康复单元经历的深入定性理解。讨论了研究结果的意义，包括确定在此环境下对客户可能有益的谈话疗法。
