ABSTRACT

El objetivo principal del estudio es demostrar que el área de desempeño del trabajo tiene una influencia determinante en el quehacer funcional de las personas. Por otra parte es importante poder evaluar y objetivar los logros de los programas de acción dirigidos hacia personas discapacitadas. Para ello se propone el siguiente instrumento de evaluación: la Pauta de Independencia Funcional (PIF) Este instrumento fue aplicado a una población de 14 pacientes que han sufrido un accidente de trabajo y/o trayecto y cuya condición actual es de institucionalización, De estos el 80 por ciento secuelados de TEC y 20 por ciento lesionados medulares que asisten al Taller Laboral Protegido durante un período de 2 años, rango de edad entre 29 y 74 años (promedio 56 años y tiempo de institucionalización de 8 años promedio). La evaluación PIF consideró 5 áreas en su desempeño y habilidades: motora, social, cognitiva, actividades de la vida diaria y laboral. En todas ellas se observaron logros, principalmente en el área social y laboral, siendo facilitadas también las otras áreas. Los pacientes muestran altos niveles de satisfacción personal y beneficios directos en relaciones interpersonales, ánimo. Es importante destacar el sentido de pertenencia al grupo, mayor identidad en roles sociales y un discreto cambio en la expresión verbal y no verbal que manifiesta indicadores volicionales inherentes al ser humano como persona, estos factores se reflejan en la pauta PIF.


The main goal of this study is to demonstrate that maintaining an active work life has a determining impact on people’s functional tasks. We also considered important to objectively assess the benefits of programs developed for disabled adults. We propose the use of the Functional Independence Assessment (FIA) to fulfil these goals. This instrument was administered to 14 inpatients, 80 percent of which had suffered disabling traumatic brain injury, and 20 percent with spinal cord injury, all of whom have had attended the sheltered workshop of Clínica Los Coihues during a two year period. Their ages ranged between 29 and 74 years old, with an average of 56 years, and their average time of hospitalisation was of 8 years. The FIA considers five performance areas and abilities: motor, social, cognitive, activities of daily living, and work. We observed achievements in all of these areas, specially in the social and work aspects, although all areas were facilitated. Patients demonstrated high levels of personal satisfaction as well as direct benefits in their interpersonal relationships and mood. It is important to emphasize a sense of belonging to a group, a greater identity in social roles, and an increase in significant verbal and non verbal expression, which represent volitional indicators that are inherent to the human being as a person. These factors are demonstrated in the FIA.
