127 The conceptualization of a Challenging Rehabilitation Environment The research group discussed the five clusters and labelled them as follows: (1) goals (how are the goals for the rehabilitation formulated and how do they guide the rehabilitation process), (2) rehabilitant and informal caregiver (factors concerning the coping process, resilience and the involvement of the rehabilitant and informal caregiver in the rehabilitation process), (3) staff aspects (focusing on interdisciplinary collaboration in the rehabilitation team and all team members being focused on rehabilitation during daily activities), (4) environmental aspects (the design of the rehabilitation ward should stimulate and challenge rehabilitants), and (5) exercise and peer support (how do rehabilitants exercise during their rehabilitation and factors concerning peer support). The five clusters and their statements are described in Table 2. Table 2. Cluster description and their statements.
