A influência do engajamento na reabilitação pediátrica: revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

Introduction: Several factors interfere with the results achieved within pediatric rehabilitation, one of them is engagement, which can be from the client (patient and/or family) and the therapist. This involvement is considered fundamental for the interventions to be successful, however, it is a complex process that involves several variables. Therefore, it is necessary to understand and know the importance of engagement in responses to treatment in pediatric rehabilitation. Objective: To identify the influence of child, family, and therapist engagement in achieving goals in pediatric rehabilitation. Methodology: This is a Narrative Bibliographic Review, classified as basic, with descriptive and explanatory purposes. The search for articles was carried out in the electronic databases Lilacs, Medline, Scielo, PEDro, using the keywords Engagement and Rehabilitation, in English and Portuguese. Results: 37 articles were selected for abstract reading, of which 4 met the inclusion and exclusion criteria to be included in this study. Conclusion: Evidence shows that engagement is seen as a motivational state and this can be influenced by internal and external factors, where positive attitudes about change, greater adequacy of the intervention received and greater collaboration in tasks and treatment plans affect the outcome, making it closer to desirable.
