Mapping intervention practices in social occupational therapy in Brazil.

BACKGROUND: Social occupational therapy developed in Brazil in the late 1970s and early 1980s as a practice approach to the social issues experienced by vulnerable populations. AIM: The aim of this study was to analyse the theoretical-methodological framework which has supported social occupational therapy practices and interventions in Brazil. METHOD: In a scoping review following PRISMA- ScR, the following databases were searched for publications reporting the practices and interventions of social occupational therapy: Scopus, Web of Science, Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS) and The Cochrane Library. RESULTS: Twenty-six publications met the inclusion criteria. The interventions were aimed at socially vulnerable children and young people at risk of violations of their rights. The studies employed active/participatory pedagogical methodologies which make the participant groups' protagonism central to their learning and intervention process. These approaches are supported by social and human science epistemologies. CONCLUSIONS: Social occupational therapy has inaugurated a paradigm shift by prioritising working with populations in situations of vulnerability arising from socioeconomic, cultural, political and identity issues. This perspective is anchored in theoretical approaches which are strongly linked to collective social actions which arose from the conditions of Brazil's period of military dictatorship. SIGNIFICANCE: At a time when there has been increasing emphasis on addressing marginal groups and widening health inequalities social occupational therapy practice in community development contexts around a focus on vulnerability has been of increasing interest in the wider knowledge sphere of the profession. This article presents a scoping review for anglophone readers.

Equipe de teleatendimento da terapia ocupacional (E-TO): Reflexões sobre a prática remota na infância e adolescência / Occupational therapy tele-service team (E-OT): reflections about remote practice in childhood and adolescence / Equipo de tele-servicio de terapia ocupacional (e-to): Reflexiones sobre la pratica remota en la infancia y la adolescencia

Contextualização: Diante da pandemia COVID-19, declarada em março de 2020, a Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais se adaptou aos desafios da telessaúde para o estágio supervisionado em Terapia Ocupacional, na saúde da criança e adolescente, respaldada pela resolução no 516 do Conselho Federal de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional. Processo de Intervenção/acompanhamento: Este trabalho relata a criação do serviço remoto de Terapia Ocupacional, descrevendo seu processo organizacional, coordenado para assistir 16 famílias de crianças com transtornos do desenvolvimento. Análise crítica da prática: As metas funcionais das crianças de nove das famílias foram alcançadas totalmente e 85,7% responderam positivamente, evidenciando a eficácia do modelo remoto. No entanto, observou-se dilatação da carga horária do estágio, devido à intensificação das atividades assíncronas para elaboração de materiais personalizados, aumentando a percepção de sobrecarga da equipe. Síntese das considerações: Para manter resultados funcionais positivos, evitando a sobrecarga, faz-se necessário reavaliar a carga horária destinada às atividades assíncronas.

Contextualization: Faced with the COVID-19 pandemic declared in March 2020, the Federal University of Minas Gerais adapted to the challenges of telehealth for the supervised internship in Occupational Therapy, in child and adolescent health, supported by Resolution No. 516 of the Federal Council of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy. Intervention process/accompaniment: The present work reports the creation of the remote Occupational Therapy service describing its coordinated organizational process to assist 16 families of children with developmental disorders. Critical analysis of the practice: The functional goals of the children of nine of the families were fully achieved and 85.7% responded positively, evidencing the effectiveness of the remote model. However, there was an increase in the workload of the internship, due to the intensification of asynchronous activities for the development of personalized materials, increasing the perception of the team's overload. Summary of considerations: To maintain positive functional results, avoiding overload, it is necessary to reassess the workload allocated to asynchronous activities.

Contextualización: Ante la pandemia COVID-19 declarada en marzo de 2020, la Universidad Federal de Minas Gerais se adaptó a los desafíos de la telesalud para la pasantía supervisada en Terapia Ocupacional, en salud infantil y adolescente, respaldada por la Resolución No. 516 del Consejo Federal. de Fisioterapia y Terapia Ocupacional. Proceso de intervención: El presente trabajo reporta la creación del servicio de Terapia Ocupacional a distancia describiendo su proceso organizativo coordinado para asistir a 16 familias de niños con trastornos del desarrollo. Análisis crítico de la práctica: Las metas funcionales de los hijos de nueve de las familias se cumplieron en su totalidad y el 85,7% respondió positivamente, evidenciando la efectividad del modelo remoto. Sin embargo, hubo un aumento en la carga de trabajo de la pasantía, debido a la intensificación de actividades asincrónicas para el desarrollo de materiales personalizados, aumentando la percepción de sobrecarga del equipo. Resumen de consideraciones: Para mantener resultados funcionales positivos, evitando la sobrecarga, es necesario reevaluar la carga de trabajo asignada a las actividades assincrônicas.
