Summary
This study operationalized supports for the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) to improve quality of life (QOL) outcomes. An international expert panel achieved consensus on 85 support strategies for CRPD implementation.
Area of Science:
- Disability Studies
- Public Health Policy
- Quality of Life Research
Background:
- Quality of Life (QOL) frameworks are crucial for evaluating policy impacts, including the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).
- Implementing the CRPD requires operational definitions of supports to achieve desired QOL outcomes for persons with disabilities.
- Existing frameworks may lack specific, contextually sensitive strategies for CRPD implementation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an operational definition of supports for implementing the CRPD, focusing on achieving QOL outcomes.
- To identify and define specific support strategies linked to each item of the CRPD.
- To assess the exportability of these support strategies across different contexts for people with disabilities.
Main Methods:
- A participative process was employed to define supports for CRPD implementation.
- An international Delphi study involving 93 experts from 17 countries was conducted.
- A multi-round consensus-building process was used to pair CRPD items with specific support strategies.
Main Results:
- Consensus was reached on 85 pairings of CRPD items with elements of supports and related strategies.
- A 75% agreement threshold was met for the identified support strategies.
- The study operationalized the CRPD through the development of assessment instruments and suggested strategies.
Conclusions:
- The developed operational definition provides a framework for implementing the CRPD to enhance QOL outcomes.
- The identified support strategies offer practical guidance for policy and practice.
- This work exemplifies the application of a QOL framework for effective policy implementation and evaluation.

Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome
2.6K
When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

1.7K
Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time...

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
