“…The focus of these articles appears to be one of convincing others in these fields of the utility of the ICF for that discipline. Kearney and Pryor (2004) reviewed the ICF's relevance as a conceptual framework for nursing, concluding that it has the potential to expand nurses' thinking and practice by increasing awareness of the social, political, and cultural dimensions of disability. These authors held that nursing conceptualizes disability from largely medical and individual perspectives that do not consider its social dimensions and recognized that people with disabilities are critical of this paradigm and its impact on their health care.…”

This article reviews the literature from the 3 years since the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health's (ICF's) endorsement, focusing on those articles that discuss (a) what the ICF means and how it can be used; (b) the general utility of the ICF for specific fields, such as nursing, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and audiology; (c) examples of applications for classification in particular disorders, such as chronic health conditions, neuromusculoskeletal conditions, cognitive disorders, mental disorders, sensory disorders, and primary and secondary conditions in children; (d) uses of the ICF to recode prior work across multiple surveys and across country coding schemes on disability-related national survey items; and (e) governmental uses of the ICF in the United States and selected countries abroad. Future directions needed to effectively implement the ICF across rehabilitation policy, research, and practice are discussed.This article reviews the literature in psychology and health and human services, and rehabilitation more generally, from the 3 years since the endorsement of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). For this review, we narrowed our searches to articles focused on clinical research or specific implementations of the Bruyère , VanLooy, & Peterson The ICF: Contemporary Literature Overview ICF. Most available articles on the ICF discuss its utility for specific groups or particular research areas. The overview of current literature presented here is not exhaustive but rather illustrative of current applications of the ICF to research and practice.Our review suggests that the actual application of the ICF is as yet somewhat limited because the World Health Organization (WHO) endorsement is so recent; the earliest references using the ICF correspond with the WHO's 2001 endorsement. Standardized application of the ICF in North America has yet to be realized in anticipation of the release of the clinical implementation manual (see Reed et al., 2005); thus, it is not surprising to find limited research on clinical implementation of the ICF. From our review of the literature and of unpublished reports, it seems clear that the ICF is being used in a preliminary fashion to inform conceptual frameworks in research and for recoding data from other health classifications. Recently completed and ongoing research has undoubtedly not yet been published.In this review, we cluster articles by the following areas: (a) what the ICF means and how it can be used; (b) general utility of the ICF for specific fields, such as nursing, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and audiology; (c) examples of applications for classification in particular disorders, such as chronic health conditions, neuromusculoskeletal conditions, cognitive disorders, mental disorders, sensory disorders, and primary and secondary conditions in children; (d) uses of the ICF to recode prior work across multiple surveys and across country coding...

“…Da mesma forma, estudos demonstram o destacável papel da CIF na determinação do diagnóstico de enfermagem e respectivos desdobramentos da assistência no âmbito da reabilitação [10][11] . Os conceitos apresentados na CIF introduzem um novo paradigma para pensar e trabalhar a deficiência e a incapacidade: elas não são apenas uma consequência das condições de saúde/doença, mas são determinadas também pelo contexto do meio ambiente físico e social, pelas diferentes percepções culturais e atitudes em relação à deficiência, pela disponibilidade de serviços e de legislação.…”

RESUMOTrata-se de estudo experimental com objetivo de identificar estratégias para reduzir o nível de dependência da pessoa com sequela de lesão traumática cerebral de grande porte, para ajuda no desempenho de atividades cotidianas e autocuidado. Único sujeito, que, ao longo de 13 anos, 4.745 dias, 113.880 horas, com deficiência física grave e acentuado quadro de espasticidade, necessita de ajuda do cuidador para realização de transferências da cadeira de rodas para a cama. Elaborou-se protótipo pautado na tecnologia assistiva para auxiliar na mobilização e respectivas transferências, com resultados satisfatórios, porém restritos à dinâmica de projetar-se de uma superfície para outra com respectivo alinhamento do corpo. Concluindo, recomendase a instalação do protótipo nos laboratórios de pesquisa do cuidado dos programas de graduação e pós-graduação em enfermagem, para que pesquisadores e estudantes invistam na identificação das potencialidades das pessoas com deficiência para maior independência e habilidades para o autocuidado. Abstract ResumenIt is an experimental study with the the the the the objective of identifying strategies to reduce level of the person's dependence with brain traumatic lesion sequel on a large scale on a large scale on a large scale on a large scale on a large scale, for help in the acting of daily activities and self care. Only subject that, along 13 years, 4.745 days, 113.880 hours, with severe physical disability and accentuated espasticity history, needs the caregivers´ help for accomplishment of transfers of the wheelchairs for the bed. Prototype was elaborated based on the assistive technology to aid in the mobilization and respective transfers, with satisfactory, even so restricted results to the dynamics of being projected of one surface for another with respective alignment of the body. Concluding this study, the installation of the prototype is recommended in the research' laboratories of care, under care, under care, under care, under care, under g g g g gr r r r radua adua adua adua aduation tion tion tion tion and masters of nursing programs, so that researchers and students invest in the identification of the disabled persons' potentialities for larger independence and abilities for self care.

“…The conceptual model of the ICF [5,6] could fit well into Hummelvolls and Severinsson's [67] description of the ideological perspective of nurses, as the ICF includes several aspects of health and was not designed solely for people with disabilities. The present findings would seem to indicate that the ICF could be used as an aid to merge nurses' ideological foundation with their everyday practice [69,70] . In that sense, the DLDA could even been used as an aid in improving psychiatric care.…”

The implementation of evidence-based methods in hospital settings is difficult and complex. The aim of the present study was to highlight the implementation process concerning a new working method, i.e. a new assessment tool, based on the International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF), among psychiatric nursing staff on five participating wards at a Swedish county hospital. Descriptive, qualitative data were collected through focus group interviews pre-and post-implementation. Data were analysed using directed content analysis, guided by Normalization Process Theory (NPT). The results revealed that just one of the five participating wards met the criteria for a successful implementation process. The results confirm previous studies showing the difficulty of implementation. Although participants agreed with the intention of the model, they were reluctant to apply it in practice. The implementation process seemed to be influenced by factors such as: time pressure; heavy workload; stress; lack of routines in using the tool; lack of nursing staff; as well as cultural characteristics and resistance to change.
