Abstract:
Introduction:Therapeutic education and the strategies derived from it are encompassed within the person-centered care model.
Mead & Bower described this model as encompassing 5 conceptual dimensions:
1) the biobehavioral perspective;
2) the patient as a person;
3) sharing power and responsibility;
4) the therapeutic alliance; and
5) the clinician as a person.
The focus of therapeutic education strategies is to achieve active patient participation that increases patient commitment and responsibility for treatment. The promotion and prescribing of active exercise or physical activity is a fundamental aspect of the recovery process. Neurological patients are a group of individuals with brain damage where exercise is a key aspect of their recovery. Educational processes can help and enhance the maintenance of physical activity and exercise levels by increasing motivation and willingness to exercise.
Purpose:
The main aim of the present article was to carry out an umbrella review of the available scientific evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the effectiveness of behavior change techniques (BCTs) to improve the effect of and engagement with therapeutic exercise in neurological patients (patients with hemorrhagic stroke, ischemic stroke, and brain damage secondary to oncological process).
Methods:
An umbrella review was conducted using a systematic search in several databases such as Medline (PubMed), Embase, PEDro and Google Scholar.
Results:
The reported data show the important effects of BCTs on the process of increasing exercise or physical activity levels and improving adherence levels in neurological patients.
Conclusions:
Active educational strategies could be used in neurological patients with motor impairment to improve their physical activity levels and to maintain their motivation to improve adherence to treatment. However, further research is needed to provide answers to some questions still present in the current scientific literature.
