It became evident that students with low vision eye-sight made use of devices meant for bearers of blindness, such as applying the Braille system. A reduced number of low vision students making use of optical and non-optical devices applicable to their problems were observed, indicating a probable unawareness of their visual potential and the appropriate devices to improve efficiency.
Objective: To describe the characteristics of people with visual impairment who participated in the Visual Rehabilitation Groups, according to the ICD-10 and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Methods: Quantitative, cross-sectional survey, developed in a university rehabilitation research center between october and december 2012. The users from the Visual Rehabilitation Groups were invited; 13 of them agreed to participate. We performed an occupational therapy evaluation -with anamnesis, performance evaluation and functional vision assessment -an analysis of medical charts and patient description with the use of the ICF. Results: The major causes of visual impairment were diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, optical neuritis and keratoconus. Some functions and structures of the body, performance and capabilities in activities and participation, environmental factors facilitators or limiters were highlighted in this study, allowing the description of the characteristics of each participant through the functionality and the improvement of the therapeutic planning. Assistive technologies, optical and nonoptical aids used and their everyday benefits were presented. Conclusion: Visual loss, at any level, led to functional impairments, limiting and restricting the participation and performance in everyday activities, interfering with the individuals' independence, autonomy and quality of life. However, the use of optical aids, non-optical aids and environmental adaptations proved to be beneficial for increasing the functionality, showing the influence of external factors on the performance. Knowing and recognizing the existence of diversities within the visual impairment universe allows us to understand who the treated individual is, avoiding the generalization by the visual condition. The ICF showed to have a fundamental role in this context.
Resultados: Nota-se que a maioria dos cuidadores é do sexo feminino 82% (n=14), sendo 64% (n=11) mães, em relação à ocupação 65% (n=11) não trabalham e 59% (n=10) tem baixa escolaridade. Observa-se que todos os papéis ocupacionais apresentaram diminuição nas frequências de realizações do passado para o presente, ou seja, antes do cuidar, mais papéis ocupacionais eram realizados pelos sujeitos pesquisados do que após o início do cuidar. Dentre esses papéis ocupacionais, os que mais sofreram quedas foram os de trabalhador (65%/n=11), estudante (59%/n=10) e membro familiar (24%/n=4). Conclusão: O cuidar de uma pessoa com deficiência visual, neste estudo, mostrou consequências importantes como perdas ou mudanças de papéis ocupacionais, principalmente o de trabalhador, bem como alterações na rotina e sobrecarga. To describe the profile and understand the configuration of occupational roles of informal careers of people with visual impairments, treated at a university research center in a large city. Methods: Descriptive and correlational study, conducted using the "Role Checklist". Seventeen people participated in the study. Statistical analysis was performed based on frequency. Results: It is noted that most caregivers are female 82% (n = 14), with 64% (n = 11) being mothers. Regarding occupation, 65% (n = 11) did not work, and 59% (n = 10) have low education. We observed that all occupational roles had decreased comparing the past achievements of frequencies with the present, in other words, before care, more occupational roles were performed by researched subjects roles than after the start of care. Among these occupational roles, those which suffered the most declines were the worker (65%/n=11), student (59%/n=10) and family member (24%/n=4). Conclusion: caring for a person with visual impairment in this study has showed significant consequences such as losses or changes in occupational roles, especially for workers, as well as changes in routine and overload.
DESCRITORES:
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
