Abstract

The following study aimed to identify how the neurological patient, who is receiving care in the occupational herapy (O.T.) sector, realizes on this service’s influence in their global health. The study was developed in a Specialized Center for Rehabilitation II (CER II), located in a medium-sized town in the interior of São Paulo, which has an Occupational Therapy in Adult and Elderly Outpatient Neurology Service. The instrument used for data collection was a semi-structured questionnaire, applied as an interview. Topics for characterizing the participants and recording their perceptions were addressed. The highlighted topics covered: how the user feels about the treatment; what feelings stand out in this process; changes perceived in the course of activities; and degree of satisfaction with the service. Data analysis was performed qualitatively based on the information from the interviews. There was a prevalence of males (n = 10) aged over 18 and under 60 (n = 8), with a higher incidence of stroke (n = 6). In the open questions it was possible to identify positive feelings prevalence, the user’s perception of the positive contribution of O.T. regarding gaining independence and quality of life and that all participants would recommend the service offered by O.T. The study provided feedback on the intervention given and showed that the intervention meaning fulfills the complexity of holistic basis of treatment.
