RTRU has recently received a new funding grant from the Royal Society Te Ap\u0101rangi<\/a>\u00a0to support a brand new research collaboration between occupational therapy researchers from Japan and M\u0101ori, Pacific, and P\u0101keh\u0101 researchers in New Zealand.\u00a0 Lead by yours truly (William Levack), this project involves the development and testing of a) an English-language version and b) a M\u0101ori\/Pacific version of a Japanese iPad application called the \u201cAid for Decision-Making in Occupational Choice\u201d (ADOC).<\/p>\n

ADOC is designed to help health professionals engage with patients (adults and children) and their family\/wh\u0101nau in collaborative goal setting for rehabilitation (e.g. for people with stroke, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, or dementia). Despite the importance of goal setting in rehabilitation, past research has demonstrated that involving patients in goal setting can be difficult, with health professionals tending to dominate discussions around the selection of goals, and issues such as communication and cognitive impairments creating obstacles to robust patient involvement. This project will provide the ground work required for future research investigating the use of digital technology as a tool to support rehabilitation professionals to be more culturally responsive and person-centred in their clinical practice \u2013 improving the quality of their service delivery and increasing opportunities for more meaningful health outcomes for their patients.<\/p>\n

My research collaborators for this project are Bernadette Jones (Ng\u0101ti Apa Ng\u0101 Wairiki), Dr Tristram Ingram (Ng\u0101ti Kahungunu ki Heretaunga, Ng\u0101ti Porou), Dr Dianne Sika-Paotonu, A\/Prof Rebecca Grainger (from University of Otago), A\/Prof Kounosuke Tomori and Dr Tatsunori Sawade (from Tokyo University of Technology), and A\/Prof Kayoko Takahashi (from Kitasato University).\u00a0 Funding from the Royal Society Te Ap\u0101rangi will support travel between New Zealand and Japan to help us successfully complete this work.\u00a0 Additional funding support for our various collaborative projects over the next two years has also be provided by the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science<\/a>\u00a0and by a University of Otago Research Grant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
