Objetivo: Identificar as ações de intervenção e estratégias utilizadas em terapia ocupacional para prevenção de quedas da pessoa idosa no domicílio. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura, que rastreou as produções científicas nas bases de dados Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL e Embase, de janeiro de 2017 a julho de 2022. Resultados: As 19 publicações que compuseram o corpus desta pesquisa foram categorizadas para análise com base nas avaliações utilizadas pelo terapeuta ocupacional e suas ações para a prevenção de quedas, incluindo: treinamentos funcionais integrados às AVD, intervenções de adequação ambiental domiciliar, ações educativas e utilização de tecnologias e dispositivos assistivos. Conclusão: O domicílio é o local mais propenso para a ocorrência de quedas em pessoas idosas. Por isso, as ações de terapeutas ocupacionais são significativamente importantes para a prevenção de quedas e manutenção da segurança da pessoa idosa nesse contexto. Além disso, notou-se a incipiência de estudos nacionais da terapia ocupacional sobre o tema, o que mostra a necessidade de ampliar as publicações da profissão nesse âmbito de atuação.Brazilian Journal of Occupational TherapyCuadernos Brasilenos de Terapia OcupacionalCadernos Brasileiros de Terapia Ocupacional2023-12-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://www.cadernosdeterapiaocupacional.ufscar.br/index.php/cadernos/article/view/352610.1590/2526-8910.ctoAR270335261Brazilian Journal of Occupational Therapy; Vol. 31 (2023); e3526Cuadernos Brasilenos de Terapia Ocupacional; Vol. 31 (2023); e3526Cadernos Brasileiros de Terapia Ocupacional; v. 31 (2023); e35262526-8910reponame:Cadernos Brasileiros de Terapia Ocupacionalinstname:Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCAR-DTO)instacron:UFSCARporenghttps://www.cadernosdeterapiaocupacional.ufscar.br/index.php/cadernos/article/view/3526/3927https://www.cadernosdeterapiaocupacional.ufscar.br/index.php/cadernos/article/view/3526/3928Copyright (c) 2023 Cadernos Brasileiros de Terapia Ocupacionalhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSchuartz, PatriciaFerreira, Ana Laura Andrade Bernardo, Lilian DiasRaymundo, Taiuani MarquinePalm, Rosibeth del Carmen Muñoz2023-09-11T13:48:55Zoai:ojs.www.cadernosdeterapiaocupacional.ufscar.br:article/3526Revistahttp://www.cadernosdeterapiaocupacional.ufscar.br/index.php/cadernos/indexPUBhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phpcadto@ufscar.br||cadto@ufscar.br2526-89102526-8910opendoar:2023-09-11T13:48:55Cadernos Brasileiros de Terapia Ocupacional - Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCAR-DTO)false |
