Vinculándose con la telemedicina: Experiencias de Terapia Ocupacional en un Servicio de Neuropsiquiatría Infantojuvenil

Abstract

Under the context of confinement and physical distancing, it has been possible to witness in the literature that the use of information and communication technologies have influenced occupational therapy processes, and remote intervention may be a facilitator. This article describes how the bonds of attachment between girls, boys and adolescents with difficulties in the field of mental health and the occupational therapy team of the San Borja Arriaran Clinical Hospital are affected. The following are highlighted as difficulties in the therapeutic process: the need for constant parental support, a context of privacy to be able to optimize the processes and make them meaningful, as well as the difficulties of access to technologies, connectivity and the occupational imbalance of the vulnerable families. The human rights approach is considered as a central aspect as a pillar that crosses and surrounds the daily life of the social fabric, a right that is sometimes violated when we are faced with important vulnerability situations that prevent or hinder the carrying out of an intervention and therapeutic bond of quality today, with the subject and his family.
