Satisfactory performance in personally valued roles is known to be
important to a sense of purpose and well-being in everyday life,
yet there is little understanding of how the concept of role might
be used by the role performer. People recovering from stroke
frequently do not resume roles that they previously held and
valued, yet this problem is often not effectively addressed in
rehabilitation. This study used the conceptual framework of the
Occupational Performance Model (Australia) (Chapparo & Ranka,
1997) to examine how a group of men perceived their own
occupational role performance following a disabling stroke.
Inductive analysis of the data showed that participants used the
concept of role to organise their own occupational performance in
terms of meaning, personal abilities and time. This book uses the
information suggested by the data to discuss the nature of
occupational role performance in ways that develop and extend the
construct of occupational performance role as described by Chapparo
and Ranka and other occupational therapy researchers. It is
addressed to health professionals, health educators, and
researchers who are working with people with chronic disability.
