RESUMO
Introducción: En el estadio postinfección por SARS-CoV-2 la persona puede ver reducida su capacidad funcional, precisando el ingreso en unidades de rehabilitación. Objetivo: Describir un programa de terapia ocupacional para la mejora del nivel de autonomía en personas postinfección por SARS-CoV-2. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional longitudinal de 36 personas ingresadas en una unidad de hospitalización intermedia, entre abril y junio de 2020, para la recuperación funcional postinfección por SARS-CoV-2. Los participantes recibieron un programa de terapia ocupacional y se evaluó la autonomía en las actividades de la vida diaria al ingreso y alta. Resultados: Los pacientes mejoraron su autonomía en las actividades básicas (p<0,001) e instrumentales (p<0,001) de la vida diaria pero no retornaron a los niveles previos, especialmente en las actividades instrumentales. Conclusiones: Un programa de rehabilitación que incluya terapia ocupacional es efectivo para mejorar el nivel de autonomía en personas postinfección por SARS-CoV-2.(AU)
Introduction: In the post-infection stage by SARS-CoV-2, the functional capacity of the person may be reduced, requiring admission to rehabilitation units. Objective: To describe an occupational therapy program to improve the level of autonomy in the rehabilitation of individuals after the infection by SARS-CoV-2. Material and methods: Longitudinal observational study of 36 patients admitted between April and June 2020 to an intermediate care facility for functional rehabilitation after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Participants received an occupational therapy program and their autonomy in activities of daily living was evaluated at admission and discharge. Results: Patients improved their autonomy in basic (P<.001) and instrumental (P<.001) activities of daily living after the treatment. However, patients but did not return to their baseline levels, especially in instrumental activities. Conclusions: Rehabilitation programs that include occupational therapy are effective to improve the level of autonomy in individuals post-infection by SARS-CoV-2.(AU)
