A atuação da terapia ocupacional na reabilitação psicossocial de pessoas com esquizofrenia: uma revisão integrativa da literatura

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this work is to describe the work of Occupational Therapy with people with schizophrenia. Methodology: The Integrative Literature Review analyzes works related to the topic, corroborating the scientific process. Within a time frame of 27 years, a large number of useful articles were used for study, with Scielo and PubMed as the main databases. Results: The studies point to therapeutic groups as the main strategy of Occupational Therapy professionals in CAPS, revealing agreement regarding the effectiveness of the approach for the social reintegration of patients with schizophrenia and support for family members and caregivers. However, it is noted that few articles use a rigorous systematic approach to the results of these interventions, which points to a possible methodological flaw. Final Considerations: Although the results show a favorable approach to Occupational Therapy with patients with schizophrenia, there is still room for study, improving methodological rigor for more concise and precise results.
