Satisfaction of members of interdisciplinary rehabilitation teams with goal planning meetings.

OBJECTIVE
To study how satisfied members of interdisciplinary rehabilitation teams are with goal planning meetings.


DESIGN
Survey.


SETTING
A regional rehabilitation center for people with acute nonprogressive brain injuries in the United Kingdom.


PARTICIPANTS
Forty-four rehabilitation professionals who participated in 31 goal-planning meetings held between January 1, 2001, and March 30, 2001.


INTERVENTIONS
Not applicable.


MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES
Responses to a questionnaire about staff satisfaction with rehabilitation team meetings.


RESULTS
Forty-four of 46 members of 21 different rehabilitation teams completed the questionnaires. They included 12 occupational therapists, 7 physiotherapists, 7 physicians, 6 nurses, 5 clinical psychologists, 5 speech pathologists, and 2 social workers. Median scores of different domains were as follows: participation, 13; behavior, 20; outcome, 14; and process, 16. Correlations between the participation and outcome domains (rho=.731, P=.01) and the process and outcome domains (rho=.384, P=.05) were significant. None of the domain scores correlated with features of the meetings. Scores given by chairpersons for participation (P=.001) and outcome (P=.047) were significantly higher than those given by other participants.


CONCLUSIONS
Professionals were satisfied with the behavior of other participants and the process of goal-planning meetings. Satisfaction with outcome was related to satisfaction with the participation in and the process of the meetings. Chairpersons were more satisfied with the participation domain.
