Resumo: | Introduction: A significant part of the professional activity of physiotherapists and occupational therapists who assist people with motor disabilities is the prescription and sometimes the construction of adapted seats for wheelchairs. This is a complex task that involves practice, continued education, and material and technical resources. These work together to provide the patient's access to the adapted product. Objective: To understand how the prescription and adaptation of wheelchair seats occur in practice in a public institution. Method: This study had a qualitative approach, applied nature, and exploratory objective. We utilized the case study strategy, conducted through semi-structured interviews, with seven professionals from a public state institution. The data obtained and analyzed were professionals’ practical experiences on seat adaptation for their patients. Results: We found divergences between practice and theory in the institution. The context in which the professionals operate, issues related to the institution, the production capacity of the adaptations, financial and time limitations, custom, lack of protocols and training in the area, and social and patient pressure are some of the causes of these divergencies. Conclusion: on the basis, we drew an overview of the prescription and construction of adapted seats by the institution and described the main elements that influence this practice. We believe that the training and updating of professionals, providing more resources, and a better process planning can reduce the divergences between practice and theory. |

Essa é uma tarefa complexa que envolve prática, formação continuada e recursos materiais e técnicos que atuam em conjunto para proporcionar o acesso do produto adaptado para o paciente. Objetivo: Compreender como o processo de prescrição e adaptação de assentos para cadeiras de rodas se dá na prática em uma instituição pública. Método: Esta pesquisa tem abordagem qualitativa, natureza aplicada e objetivo exploratório. Utilizou-se a estratégia de estudo de caso, realizado através de entrevistas semiestruturadas, com sete profissionais de uma instituição pública estadual. Os dados obtidos e analisados foram resultados de experiências práticas dos profissionais acerca de adaptações de assentos que fizeram para seus pacientes. Resultados: Encontrou-se na instituição divergências entre a prática e a teoria. Essas são causadas pelo contexto em que operam os profissionais, por questões relacionadas com a instituição, capacidade produtiva das adaptações, limitações financeiras e temporais, costume, falta de protocolos e formação na área e pressão social e do paciente. Conclusão: Com a pesquisa foi possível traçar um panorama da prescrição e desenvolvimento de assentos adaptados realizados pela instituição, bem como descrever os principais elementos que influenciam nesta prática. Acredita-se que o treinamento e atualização dos profissionais, disponibilização de mais recursos e melhor planejamento do processo podem ser soluções para a diminuição das divergências entre a prática e teoria.Editora PUCPRESS2021-01-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisio/article/view/2825710.1590/fm.2021.34115Fisioterapia em Movimento (Physical Therapy in Movement); Vol. 34 (2021): n. cont.Fisioterapia em Movimento; v. 34 (2021): n. cont.1980-5918reponame:Fisioterapia em Movimentoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (PUC-PR)instacron:PUC_PRengporhttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisio/article/view/28257/pdfhttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisio/article/view/28257/pdf_1Copyright (c) 2022 PUCPRESSinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSierra, Isabella de SouzaOkimoto, Maria Lúcia Leite Ribeiro2022-03-07T19:02:55Zoai:ojs.periodicos.pucpr.br:article/28257Revistahttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisioPRIhttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisio/oairubia.farias@pucpr.br||revista.fisioterapia@pucpr.br1980-59180103-5150opendoar:2022-03-07T19:02:55Fisioterapia em Movimento - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (PUC-PR)false |
