Contributo para a classificação da funcionalidade dos utentes da Rede Nacional de Cuidados Continuados Integrados segundo a Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade

Abstract

PurposeIdentify the categories of the “International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health” (CIF) for the classification of functionality to users of the Rede Nacional de Cuidados Continuados Integrados (RNCCI). ObjectiveIdentify ICF categories to classify the population with the characteristics of RNCCI users. MethodologyResearch was conducted at EBSCO through CINAHL Plus with Full Text and MEDLINE with Full Text. Scientific articles published in Full Text (March 2012) between 01/01/2000 and 03/31/2012 were selected, using the PI [C]O method. Were selected 15 items of 23 matches. Results248 categories were identified which characterize the functionality of the population with the features of RNCCI users. It was found that from these, 86 have a frequency description of less than 50% and are divided by four ICF components. ConclusionsThe identified categories are distributed as follows: 26 categories of the component Body Functions (32.56%) in 15 articles, 5 categories of the component Body Structures (5.81%) in 13 articles, 35 categories of the component Activities and Participation (40.70%) in 15 articles, 18 categories of the component Environmental Factors (20.93%) in 14 articles. This systematic review can begin the process of characterizing the functionality of users RNCCI according to ICF.
