“…Maximino and Tedesco 76 recognized the dialectic of everyday life that, while materializing what oppresses us, also makes micro-resistance present, resulting in “subtle shifts in the borders of domination.” When confronted with the fact that nearly 60% of respondents use marijuana on a daily basis, to the detriment of prohibition, we are made aware of the potential harm caused by consumption while facing an act of resistance to prohibitionism. We then recover well-being within the scope of occupational therapy, as a goal of interventions and as a state that can be determined by occupations, 34 , 35 when the research begins with a non-stigmatizing approach to drug use to highlight the dynamic interaction between the highlighted predictors, which can then provide the desired well-being and/or exposure to higher risk situations related to use.…”

“…33 Since the origins of occupational therapy, the concept of well-being has been present, whether as an objective of professional practice, through participation in significant occupations and meaningful activities that aim to restore or promote healthy conditions (occupational well-being), or as a state that can be determined by occupations. 34,35 Occupational therapy is a client-centered health profession focused on promoting health and well-being through occupation, as shown in almost all definitions of the profession worldwide. 36 The term "occupation" not only refers to work but also to all activities that individuals wish to do, have to do, and are expected to do, including self-care, productivity, and leisure.…”

“…Well-being is an important pillar of the Democratic State, which, according to the Brazilian Federal Constitution, “aimed at ensuring the exercise of social and individual rights, freedom, security, well-being, development, equality, and justice as supreme values of a fraternal, pluralistic, and unprejudiced society, founded on social and committed harmony, in the domestic and international order, with the peaceful settlement of disputes.” 33 Since the origins of occupational therapy, the concept of well-being has been present, whether as an objective of professional practice, through participation in significant occupations and meaningful activities that aim to restore or promote healthy conditions (occupational well-being), or as a state that can be determined by occupations. 34 , 35 Occupational therapy is a client-centered health profession focused on promoting health and well-being through occupation, as shown in almost all definitions of the profession worldwide. 36 The term “occupation” not only refers to work but also to all activities that individuals wish to do, have to do, and are expected to do, including self-care, productivity, and leisure.…”

Use of Marijuana to Promote Well-Being: Effects of Use and Prohibition in the Daily Lives of Brazilian Adults

2023

Background: Marijuana is the most widely used illicit drug worldwide. From an occupational perspective, its use is paradoxical in that although it can be harmful to health and has criminal consequences, it can also promote well-being. This study examined predictors of well-being to determine the effects of marijuana use and its prohibition on the daily lives of Brazilian adults. Methods: This cross-sectional study used an anonymous online questionnaire with a final sample of 2637 respondents. Utilizing logistic regression, variables were selected pertaining to use and prohibition risks, benefits of use, and harm reduction associated with the socioeconomic characteristics of the respondents. Results: Using marijuana for fun was most likely among those self-identified as male, trans/non-binary people, college graduates, and those with higher incomes. Living with family members and using less frequently proved to be protective against the adverse effect of “getting high.” Indigenous peoples and youth were more likely to report trouble with the police due to marijuana use; individuals with higher education and longer use of marijuana reported more frequent use of harm reduction strategies; people who identified their color as yellow were more likely to report daily use compared to people who identified their color as white; women and people with higher income were less likely to report daily use. Conclusions: Social class, race, gender, and generation were predictors of well-being associated with marijuana use and its prohibition, indicating an interaction between different dimensions involving the use of illicit substances. Identifying the effects of the use and prohibition of marijuana in promoting well-being, from the conception of drug use as a non-sanctioned occupation, can broaden the understanding of this complex human phenomenon, with health and criminal repercussions, subsidizing the development of approaches more equitable and adequate into occupational therapy to reduce personal and social harm.

Depois de finalizadas as intervenções, o participante foi reavaliado e relatou a pontuação, novamente de 0 a 10, referente ao seu desempenho e satisfação das atividades destacadas na avaliação (Miki & Kawabata, 2020).…”

“…Visto desde la perspectiva de los problemas de salud, hay preocupación por la salud mental, la calidad de vida y el bienestar (Álamo, 2019;Miki y Kawabata, 2020;Pereira y Reinoso, 2019), así como por el uso de tecnología asistida (Fischl et al, 2020;Meyer et al, 2020). Más recientemente, se abordan temas de sexualidad en la vejez (Lopes et al, 2019) o la apropiación de actividades puntuales que adquieren significado en áreas de ocio y tiempo libre (Castillón y Xifré, 2019;Dos Santos y Reinoso, 2021;Nadolnya et al, 2020).…”

El artículo aborda el trabajo remunerado en la vejez como fenómeno complejo, para enriquecer la discusión de la Terapia Ocupacional y los estudios sobre la ocupación acerca del tema. Se detiene en la relevancia del trabajo como ocupación y reflexiona sobre las desigualdades que se construyen en torno al trabajo de las personas mayores. Al proponer un diálogo interdisciplinario con la perspectiva del curso de la vida, destaca la relación entre las trayectorias laborales y los contextos históricos en los que estas se insertan. El texto resalta la importancia del tema para la Terapia Ocupacional, la necesidad de comprender el trabajo en la vejez y de cuestionar la mirada individualizadora que tienden a usar los estudios disciplinares sobre el asunto. Esto implica dinamizar las teorías clásicas de la Terapia Ocupacional, de manera que trasciendan los enfoques clínicos centrados en la prevención y el tratamiento de las enfermedades de las personas mayores, y se interroguen por los sistemas políticos, económicos y sociales en los que se enmarca el trabajo de esta población.
