Effectiveness of the Model of Human Occupation for His Return to the Workplace in a Community-Based Rehabilitation

Abstract

The objective of this study was to reconsider Occupational Therapy (OT) service in a community-based rehabilitation and to explore the effectiveness of the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO) for carrier support. MOHO was chosen in order to practice International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) which aims at focusing on individuals and their environments to use current abilities. From the analysis of the data, it revealed the participant's real intention, influence of the measures his workplace took and the lack of constructive network of relevant facilities. Those findings allowed us to understand the maladjusted client and to have an integrated point of view for carrier support. From the results, it was confirmed the effectiveness of MOHO for his return to the workplace, the necessity of integration of biopsychosocial approach and an initiative role to organize service systems effectively for OT intervention based on a community service.
