COVID 19 DÖNEMİNDE ENGELLİ BİREYLERDE, BAKIM VEREN YÜKÜ VE ERGOTERAPİ MÜDAHALESİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Öz

Amaç: COVİD 19 dönemlerinde öğrenme güçlüğü olan bireylerde ergoterapi eğitimi ve ebeveynlerin bakım yükünü etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırmanın örneklemini Ankara'da özel bir eğitim kurumunda öğrenim gören yaş ortalaması 23,27±311,77 yıl olan bireyler oluşturdu. Ebeveynlerin bakım yükü Zarit Caregiver Scale (ZCS) ile değerlendirildi. Bireylerin aktivite performans ve memnuniyet düzeyleri Kanada Aktivite Performans Ölçümü (KAPÖ) ile değerlendirildi. Müdahale 12 hafta boyunca uygulandı. Bulgular: Bakım verenlerin % 44,4'ünün bakım yükünün orta düzeyde olduğu belirlendi. Ebeveynlerin COVID-19 öncesi ve sonrası ZCS karşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel olarak önemli bir fark elde edildi (p=0,008). COVID 19 döneminde aktivite sayısında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı azalma bulundu (p<0,000, t=4,89). Sonuçlar: Ergoterapi müdahalesi, bireylerin aktivite performansında iyileşmeye neden oldu. Ergoterapi alanında aktivite performansı ve memnuniyet alanlarında değerlendirme ve müdahale yaklaşımlarını içeren daha fazla çalışma planlanması gerekmektedir.

INVESTIGATION OF CAREGIVER BURDEN AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY INTERVENTION IN DISABLED INDIVIDUALS IN COVID 19 TERM

Abstract

Objective It was conducted to determine the factors affecting the occupational therapy training and the care burden of parents in individuals who were to learn in the Covid 19. Methods: The study sample consisted of individuals whose average age was 23.27 ±311.77 years in a private education institution in Ankara. Caregiver burden of parents was evaluated with Zarit Caregiver Scale (ZCS). Activity performance and satisfaction levels of the individuals were evaluated with the Canadian Activity Performance Measurement (COPM). The intervention was applied for 12 weeks. Results It was determined that 44.4 % of the caregivers had a moderate care burden. A statistically significant difference was obtained when comparing the ZCB before and after COVID-19 (p=0.006). A statistically significant decrease was found in the number of activities during the COVID 19 period (p=0.000, t=4.89). Conclusions: Occupational therapy intervention resulted in improvement in the activity performance of individuals. It is necessary to plan more studies that include evaluation and intervention approaches in the fields of activity performance and satisfaction in the field of occupational therapy.
