Abstract(s)
O uso de próteses mnésicas é uma das formas mais eficazes de reabilitação cognitiva,
tendo um impacto positivo ao nível do funcionamento da memória em indivíduos que
apresentam défices. Destacam-se, ainda, as suas potencialidades como ferramentas de
intervenção de reabilitação cognitiva à distância. Este estudo tem como principal objetivo
avaliar os níveis de conhecimento e de utilização de próteses mnésicas, pelos profissionais
de saúde e utilização das mesmas em intervenções de reabilitação cognitiva à distância.
Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, descritivo e transversal, no qual participaram 120
profissionais de saúde que trabalham com pessoas com défices cognitivos. Os
participantes têm idades compreendidas entre os 22 e os 65 anos (M = 36.99; DP = 10.85)
sendo a maioria dos participantes Psicólogos/as (n = 56) e Terapeutas Ocupacionais (n =
22). Foi contruído um questionário para avaliação de conhecimentos e expectativas de
utilização de próteses mnésicas pelos profissionais de saúde.
Os resultados indicam que o nível de conhecimento global das próteses mnésicas
específicas é superior ao grau de utilização das mesmas. O mesmo se constata quanto ao
grau de aceitação de cada uma das próteses mnésicas específicas, pelos utentes, segundo
os profissionais de saúde, que é superior à probabilidade de os profissionais usarem as
próteses mnésicas específicas com os utentes. A maioria destes profissionais mencionou
que o uso de próteses mnésicas facilita as intervenções à distância e consideram necessária
a existência de mais próteses mnésicas, em intervenções à distância.
O estudo sugere que o grau de utilização das próteses mnésicas por parte dos profissionais
inquiridos é baixo. Em estudos futuros é pertinente avaliar o motivo pelo qual os
profissionais de saúde não utilizam as próteses mnésicas, assim como a perspetiva dos
utentes acerca destes dispositivos, para se poder otimizar a utilização dos mesmos.
The use of memory prosthetics is one of the most effective tools for cognitive rehabilitation, having a positive impact on memory functioning of individuals with cognitive deficits. We should, also, highlight their potential as tools for distance cognitive rehabilitation interventions. This study has as the main objective to evaluate the knowledge levels and usability of memory prosthetics by health professionals and their application in distance cognitive rehabilitation interventions. This is a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study, where they took part 120 health professionals who work with individuals with cognitive deficits. The participants were aged between 22 and 65 years (M = 36.99; SD = 10.85) with most participants being Psychologists (n = 56) and Occupational Therapists (n = 22). It was built a questionnaire to assess knowledge and expectations regarding the use of memory prosthetics by health professionals. The results indicate that the level of global knowledge of specific memory prosthetics is higher than the degree of their use. The same is true for the degree of acceptance of each of the specific memory prosthetics by its users, according to health professionals, which is greater than the chances of professionals using these memory prosthetics with them. Most of these professionals mentioned that the use of memory prosthetics facilitates distance interventions and they consider it necessary to have access to memory prosthetics to use it in this context. This study suggests that the degree of use of memory prosthetics by the professionals surveyed is low. In future studies, it is relevant to evaluate the reason why health professionals do not use memory prosthetics, as well as the to measure the users' perspective on these devices, in order to be able to optimize their widely utilization.
