A challenging rehabilitation environment: CREATE a team self-evaluation tool

Abstract

The studies in this thesis jointly led to an evidence-based, expert-based and experience-based conceptualization of the challenging rehabilitation environment in five clusters. This conceptualization has been incorporated into the CREATE-tool, a team-self assessment tool that can be used to implement and evaluate the challenging rehabilitation environment in geriatric rehabilitation departments.

This CREATE-tool is able to identify areas for improvement for the challenging rehabilitation environment at ward level and professionals are satisfied with the use of the tool.
