Abstract

Objective: to analyze which evaluations are used by occupational therapists, speechlanguage pathologists and physiotherapists on individuals presented with aphasia and what these evaluations address.

Methods: the study conducted a national and international documental analysis of evaluations used by professionals working on the neurological rehabilitation of adults and/or elderly individuals with aphasia, published in the last ten years (January 2008/ June 2018). This analysis was performed by an integrative review of databases LILACS, SciELO and PubMed, using the descriptors: Health Assessment or Testing, or Protocols, or Psychometrics, or Questionnaires and Rehabilitation, combined with the descriptors: Aphasia, Occupational Therapy, Speech-language Pathology and Physiotherapy.

Results: 26 studies were included, most of which were scored as level VI of scientific evidence; the years of 2013 and 2016 presented publication peaks. The studies used 54 evaluation tools, among which 13 were recurrent in the studies, mostly analyzing aspects of communication/language. It is assumed that these data are related to the fact that speech-language pathologists provide care for individuals with aphasia; however, these individuals may present other needs beyond communication, such as those related to human occupation, requiring multiprofessional and integral health care. Among the protocols, the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) was considered the most complete, since it addresses communication, linguistic, human occupation and psycho-affective aspects.

Conclusion: this study identified the use of few instruments dedicated to individuals with aphasia related to all aspects that involve life, with predominance of protocols and evaluations that only address disabilities, highlighting the importance of assessments that address subjectivity, evaluating individuals with aphasia in all dimensions of their lives.

Resumo

Objetivo: analisar quais e o que abordam as avaliações utilizadas com sujeitos com afasia pelos terapeutas ocupacionais, fonoaudiólogos e fisioterapeutas.

Métodos: o estudo realizou uma análise documental, nacional e internacional, das avaliações utilizadas pelos profissionais dedicados à reabilitação neurológica de sujeitos adultos e/ou idosos com afasia publicadas nos últimos dez anos (janeiro 2008/junho2018). Por meio de uma revisão integrativa nas bases de dados: LILACS, SciELO e PubMed, utilizando os descritores: Avaliação em Saúde ou Realização de Testes, ou Protocolos, ou Psicometria, ou Questionários e Reabilitação, combinados com os descritores: Afasia, Terapia Ocupacional, Fonoaudiologia e Fisioterapia.

Resultados: foram incluídos 26 estudos, a maior parte classificada em nível VI de evidência científica; os anos de 2013 e 2016 apresentaram picos de publicações. Os estudos utilizaram 54 instrumentos de avaliação, 13 recorrentes, os quais analisam, em sua maioria, aspectos da comunicação/linguísticos. Infere-se que tal dado esteja relacionado com o fato de fonoaudiólogos prestarem cuidados aos sujeitos com afasia; porém tais sujeitos podem apresentar necessidades para além da comunicação, como, por exemplo, as relacionadas à ocupação humana, sendo necessário, um cuidado multiprofissional e integral em saúde. O protocolo de avaliação Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) foi considerado, dentre os instrumentos, o mais completo, por abordar aspectos da comunicação/linguísticos, da ocupação humana e psicoafetivos.

Conclusão: este estudo identificou a utilização de poucos instrumentos dedicados a sujeitos com afasia relativos a todos os aspectos que envolvem a vida, com predominância dos protocolos e avaliações que direcionam apenas para as incapacidades, destacando a importância de avaliações que tratem da subjetividade, que avaliem o sujeito com afasia em todas as dimensões da sua vida.
