这项研究的目的是从接受过下肢截肢的人的角度，确定在适应截肢和佩戴假肢方面被认为是重要的因素。因此，焦点小组方法被用来作为在接受下肢截肢的年轻人群体中获得观点的一种手段。初步专题分析表明，自我形象、社会、身体和实际关切、截肢和支助的意义以及接受截肢和支助等因素在调整过程中很重要。这些发现对指导未来的研究具有重要意义。
The purpose of this study was to identify factors considered to be important in the adjustment to amputation and the wearing of a prosthetic limb from the perspective of the person who has had a lower limb amputation. Hence, focus group methodology was employed as a means of acquiring perspectives within a population of young adults who had a lower limb amputation. Preliminary thematic analysis revealed that factors such as self-image, social, physical and practical concerns, the meaning attributed to and the acceptance of the amputation and support among others were important in the adjustment process. These findings have substantial implications for directing future research.
