Exploration of patient-perceived constraints and facilitators of autonomy.

Main Results:

A responsive health professional approach, adapting support over time, aids autonomy restoration.
Facilitatory patterns include gradual reduction of support and a shift from paternalism to shared decision-making.

Conclusions:

Tailoring rehabilitation interventions to patients' evolving autonomy is essential.
Stimulating active patient participation in rehabilitation and decision-making improves outcomes.
Better preparation for autonomous living post-discharge is facilitated by responsive care.
