Comparison Of The Results

The article presents the possibility of applying the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) in assessing the rehabilitation process in the conditions of the regional center for the social rehabilitation of disabled people and disabled children. Step-by-step algorithm for evaluating the process of integrated rehabilitation is shown on the example of a single case of a disabled working age with consequences of acute cerebral circulation disorder: 1) assessment of the needs and problems of the client; 2) planning of rehabilitation interventions; 3) implementation of rehabilitation measures; and 4) evaluation of the effectiveness of rehabilitation measures. To assess the functioning of the client, standardized methods and scales were used with subsequent translation of the results into the ICF category. On the basis of quantitative data, the functional profile of the client was displayed, which showed the degree of impairment of the body's functions, activity limitations and the possibility of the client's participation in a certain time period. The functional profile was used as a basis for planning and conducting rehabilitation activities. The final evaluation of the effectiveness of rehabilitation was given on the basis of a comparison of the results achieved in the implementation of rehabilitation goals with the initial parameters according to the main categories of restrictions on the activity and participation of the client.

Social psychiatry has always suffered from an inappropriate diagnostic classification system. Social psychiatry is directed toward the integration of disabled persons into their family, profession and society in general. As such the exclusive assessment of symptoms is only of minor value for the objectives of social psychiatric approaches. It lies in the core of social psychiatry to assess patients’ problems with functioning. This has already been possible by using the International Classification of Impairment Disability and Handicap (ICIDH) which primarily focused on the deficits of affected persons. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health now allows to classify not only deficits of affected persons but also their resources. Disability is always defined as an interaction of deficits in functioning on one side and the environment on the other side. This is a much more dynamic approach to rehabilitation than previously conceptualized.A good example for a modern view on the deficits and resources of affected persons is their occupational functioning. Only lately professionals almost without exception agreed on the fact that it is impossible to reintegrate or rehabilitate affected persons in the first labour market. For that reasons disabled persons were excluded from the labour market and trained and employed mainly in sheltered workshops. Today using a more interactive approach to occupational rehabilitation, professionals are much more optimistic to integrate disabled persons in the first labour market. This development in occupational rehabilitation will be described shortly and related to the International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health.
