Abstract

This research project aims to recognize occupational adaptation and occupational competence in post-COVID 19 patients between the ages of 30 and 50 who, due to the severity of the symptoms of this disease, have required attention in hospitalization services and / or a unit of intensive care, recognizing that the disease and recovery process has generated alterations in the forms of occupational participation in said population. Within the methodology, it is highlighted that it is a qualitative, descriptive exploratory and cross-sectional study. The instruments used were a sociodemographic record, the volitional questionnaire (VQ) and the historical occupational performance interview (OPHI-II). The results obtained show that there are certain dysfunctions in occupational adaptation where identity and it’s are those who have been most severely affected due to the processes of isolation, illness, treatment and rehabilitation that they have experienced. Therefore, the importance of occupational therapy actively addressing the post-COVID19 patient population is established from its holistic perception of the person in search of them participating again in their meaningful and satisfactory activities.
