Our research has identified resolvable factors that influence quality of life namely inaccessible environments, attitudes of health\u2010care professionals and societal attitudes. Polio survivors have tried alternative therapies, chiefly acupuncture and massage, and found them to be effective in enhancing their quality of life.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>It is suggested that health\u2010care professionals should consider factors which influence happiness and implement a person\u2010centred approach with the views of the polio survivor being listened to. The three factors that influenced quality of life could be resolved by health\u2010care professionals and by society. With regard to strategies used, we suggest that polio survivors should have access to the treatments that they perceive as important, although further research is required to design optimal interventions for this client group.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/hex.12152","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,20]],"date-time":"2014-01-20T06:32:28Z","timestamp":1390199548000},"page":"715-726","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Polio survivors' perceptions of the meaning of quality of life and strategies used to promote participation in everyday activities"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Anita","family":"Atwal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Occupational Therapy School of Health Sciences and Social Care Brunel University Uxbridge UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Georgia","family":"Spiliotopoulou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Occupational Therapy School of Health Sciences and Social Care Brunel University Uxbridge UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caron","family":"Coleman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Occupational Therapy School of Health Sciences and Social Care Brunel University Uxbridge UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kate","family":"Harding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Occupational Therapy School of Health Sciences and Social Care Brunel University Uxbridge UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caroline","family":"Quirke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Occupational Therapy School of Health Sciences and Social Care Brunel University Uxbridge UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicole","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Occupational Therapy School of Health Sciences and Social Care Brunel University Uxbridge UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zeina","family":"Osseiran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Occupational Therapy School of Health Sciences and Social Care Brunel University Uxbridge UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicola","family":"Plastow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Occupational Therapy School of Health Sciences and Social Care Brunel University Uxbridge UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lesley","family":"Wilson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Occupational Therapy School of Health Sciences and Social Care Brunel University Uxbridge UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","unstructured":"World Health Organisation.The Global Polio Eradication Initiative 2010.
