Community Participation and Occupational Therapy

Abstract

In recent years, the concept of participation has become a central concept in occupational therapy, rehabilitation and health services. Participation is the ultimate goal and result of occupational therapy interventions. Occupational therapists work in collaboration with individuals, groups or communities to increase participation through occupations. The individual's abilities, the characteristics of the activities, the context and the environment, can play a role in supporting or restricting participation. Occupational therapy practices are carried out in a wide variety of social areas such as home, school, workplaces, health centers, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, hospitals and forensic settings for all individuals who have impaired body structure and function due to their health condition, have limited participation, or are excluded because they are in social or cultural minority groups. Occupational therapy, community and participation concepts, participation from the World Health Organization's perspective, occupational therapy's role and responsibilities in community participation and participation in children, adults and older people with disabilities are discussed in this review.

Toplumsal Katılım ve Ergoterapi

Abstract

Katılım kavramı, son yıllarda ergoterapi, rehabilitasyon ve sağlık hizmetlerinde merkezi bir kavram haline gelmiştir. Katılım, ergoterapi müdahalelerinin nihai hedefi ve sonucudur. Ergoterapistler bireyler, gruplar veya topluluklarla işbirliği içerisinde çalışarak, aktiviteler yoluyla katılımı artırmayı hedeflerler. Bireyin yetenekleri, aktivitelerin özellikleri, bağlam ve çevrenin, katılımı destekleyici ya da kısıtlayıcı rol oynayabilir. Ergoterapi uygulamaları, sağlık durumu nedeniyle vücut yapı ve fonksiyonlarında bozukluğu olan, katılım kısıtlılığı yaşayan ya da sosyal veya kültürel azınlık gruplarda olduğu için dışlanan tüm bireylere yönelik olarak, ev, okul, iş yerleri, sağlık merkezleri, huzurevleri, rehabilitasyon merkezleri, hastaneler ve adli merkezler gibi çok çeşitli toplumsal alanlarda gerçekleştirilir. Bu derlemede, ergoterapi, toplum ve katılım kavramları, Dünya Sağlık Örgütü’nün katılıma bakışı, toplumsal katılımda ergoterapistlerin rol ve sorumlulukları, çocuk, yetişkin ve yaşlı engelli bireylerde toplumsal katılım konularına yer verilmiştir.
