Study Findings from Herston Update Knowledge in Occupational Therapy (Co-design of an outcome measure for hand burn injuries).

A recent study conducted in Herston, Australia focused on the development of an outcome measure for severe hand burn injuries in occupational therapy. The research emphasized the importance of incorporating patients' perspectives into clinical care and healthcare decisions. The study utilized Participatory Action Research to co-design the outcome measure with input from allied health professionals, individuals with hand burn injuries, and researchers. Further testing is needed to determine the psychometric properties of the newly developed outcome measure. [Extracted from the article]
