I am an occupational therapy student at San Jose State University and have a group assignment on Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). In addition to presenting, we must find someone with GBS to interview. I would greatly appreciate if you could help me understand what you've been through. As a future OT I want to know how I can help my patients with GBS, in the best way possible. Below are some questions we are interested and hoping to learn more about:
How has GBS affected you personally and emotionally?
What limitations do you experience in your daily activities (such as self-care, mobility, community involvement, social participation, etc.)?
Are there any activities that you have difficulty with that you did not before?
What area of your life has GBS had the biggest impact on?
How do you find support on a daily basis?
How do you cope/deal with GBS?
How much assistance or help do you receive?
Do you use any adaptive devices?
If there was recovery, how long did it take?
What intervention/therapy have/did you receive? Specifically, did you receive any services from occupational therapy? If so, what interventions/therapy?
Feel free to share whatever information you feel comfortable with. Anything would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much.
