Assertiveness Roll-playing
Psycho-educational Activity
Population:
Spinal cord injuries
Age:
18-65 years old
Group Size:
2-8
Setting Considerations:
- Weather
o Dry
o moderate temperature
- Wheelchair accessible trail
o Area along the trail that allows for the group to gather for discussion
Purpose:
The purpose of this intervention is to allow patients to experience a wheelchair accessible
hike while addressing social and communication skills. Individuals in this group will practice
assertiveness skills, and learn how these skills benefit them while in IMRU and post discharge.
While experiencing the freedom of being in nature they will practice assertiveness in different
scenarios, develop strategies for assertiveness, and group problem-solving. This will allow
patients to experience feelings associated with community engagement and provide opportunities
to come up with strategies to overcome anxieties.
Goals:
- Knowledge of leisure/recreation resources and opportunities available to them in their
community
- Increased engagement in the community
- Increased communication skills
o Increased assertiveness skills
- Increased wheelchair mobility and use of adaptive equipment to move around in different
settings
- Increased self-efficacy in their abilities to participate and engage in/with the community.
- Increased abilities and coping skills necessary to adapt and/or problem solve in an
unfamiliar/uncomfortable situation and environment
Supplies Needed:
- Role-playing scenarios that require assertiveness appropriate for the group
15
o (These assertive scenario cards are located in the RT cabinet in the red index card
holder labeled: Assertiveness)
Example (manual wheelchair): Youre on your way back out to your car
and there is a slight uphill slope, nothing you havent done before and
someone runs up to you shouting Here let me help and starts pushing
you.
Example: Upon returning to work after discharge you find that your job
tasks are very different than the ones you had before. When you talked to
your boss about you returning to work you assured him that you were
capable of accomplishing all the responsibilities you had before your
accident. You even had your OT come into your office with you to make
sure everything was accessible and set up your adaptive equipment to use
the computer so you could start working on the agreed date.
- Sunscreen
- Water bottles (per participant)
o Straws (if needed)
- Each patient should have their own wheelchair and adaptive equipment for mobility
- If a patient needs reading glasses ask them to bring them along
Intervention Description:
Pre-group Work:
- Patients are pre-approved by doctors and nursing staff to leave IMRU
- Patients are able to transfer with modified help or independently
- Patients will have read over a packet given to them the day before on safety concerns,
how they should be loading in/out of the van, and how the straps to anchor their
wheelchairs need to be applied (packet is on the H:drive under SCI_outingsafety)
*A spouse, partner or friend can accompany the individual on this outing but may need to take
their own transportation to the trail head. They will also need to be in comfortable clothing,
shoes and bring their own water.
Opening:
- Group will meet for 30 minutes in the day room before leaving
- Patients will be told where the group will be going:
o Silver Lake Boardwalk Trail
A beautiful loop trail up Big Cottonwood Canyon which circles a
picturesque lake that is surrounded by mountain views. It is a popular
short trail that is easy for those in a wheelchair to enjoy. The parking is
also right next to the boardwalk, and there are some viewpoint areas that
can be used to gather as a group
- The TR will then discuss assertiveness
o Today we will learn to recognize habits or behaviors that will empower you to
stand up for your rights and the rights of those around you, Assertive behavior is
neither aggressive or passive, but it is concerned with clear, honest, direct
communication (Austin, 2013). Its an important skill to have to become more
assertive in social relationships and in community settings especially when you
may rely on others to do tasks for you
16
o On our drive over to the trail, and on our stroll around the lake I want you all to be
thinking about what you think being assertive is, and how you could be more
assertive in different scenarios. Along the trail we will be role playing scenario
cards I have using I messages, which encourages everyone to practice taking
responsibility for their own feelings and actions rather than passing on the blame
to others.
Body:
- The rehabilitation vans will be used for transportation and can fit 4 wheelchairs in each
van
- Patients will be asked to verbally direct staff on how the staff should safely assist them
in/out of the vans and anchored into the vans
- Arriving to the board walk the TR will remind the group to focus on assertiveness
- At a viewpoint about halfway around the lake the therapist and staff will gather the group
for discussion
o Im going to give each of you a scenario card that you will read to the group. You
will then be asked how you would react to this situation, and why its important
that you be assertive in this scenario
For individuals with poor fine motor the card may need to be held by staff
for them to read
For individuals who have poor eye sight the card may be read allowed for
them.
o TR should open scenarios up to the group for different ideas and allow for the
group to work toward a solution or alternative solutions
o After everyone in the group has had a turn to contribute the TR will talk about
how practicing these skills will reduce their anxiety of asserting themselves in
varying social and community settings.
o TR should let everyone enjoy the view point in silence a minute longer before
directing them back to the van. TR will present the group with the following
thought to ponder individually on the way back to the van:
On the path back to the van take a moment to look around, and think about
how open and non-restrictive this outdoor environment is. How does this
relate to having the ability to express yourself and be assertive in the
different situations youll encounter in the future?
Closing:
- Returning to the hospital patients will meet in the day room to discuss the outing, and
processing
o See discussion questions
Staff need to also ensure that each patient is pressure releasing every 15-20 minutes to avoid
pressure ulcers.
Modification or Adaptations:
- CTRS and staff assisting patients will know the modifications needed and be competent
in assisting these patients in each of these areas knowing that each patient will need
different adaptations depending on LOI:
o Wheelchair mobility
o Transfers
o Pressure release

o Torso control
o Bowel and Bladder Control

they may have with past patients
Closing
- After guests leave the group will gather inside the day room for processing
o See discussion questions
Staff need to also ensure that each patient is pressure releasing every 15-20 minutes to avoid
pressure ulcers.
Modification or Adaptations:
- CTRS and staff assisting patients will know the modifications needed and be competent
in assisting these patients in each of these areas knowing that each patient will need
