We developed a cognitive rehabilitation capacity-building program (CogCap) to address this need. Aims: The aims of this study were to pilot the CogCap program with a multidisciplinary group of cognitive rehabilitation providers; to evaluate whether it improved participants' self-ratings of knowledge, skills, and confidence in cognitive rehabilitation; and to explore their perceptions and experiences of the program. Methods: CogCap was evaluated in a pilot study with 12 cognitive rehabilitation providers, who included occupational therapists, speech pathologists, and psychologists working in brain injury rehabilitation. CogCap components included online self-paced learning modules, workshops, and expert masterclasses completed over a 3-month period. Measures included degree of participation in CogCap components; pre- and post-self-ratings of knowledge, skills, and confidence; and qualitative interviews of CogCap participants about their experience. Results: There were high levels of engagement with the workshops and significant improvements, with large effect sizes in perceived knowledge (d = 0.81, p < 0.05), skills (d = 0.65, p < 0.05), and confidence (d = 1.30, p < 0.01). Four themes were derived from the qualitative interview data: (1) learning through the program, (2) engaging in the program, (3) enhancing practice, and (4) supporting future change. Conclusions: The pilot evaluation provides preliminary evidence of CogCap's effectiveness and acceptability to cognitive rehabilitation providers. Larger scale implementation and evaluation is recommended. http://links.lww.com/IJEBH/A334 pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
