AbstractThis is the second article in a series of two about occupational therapy and primary care. The first article (see PH&RD….) described the position of the profession in primary care across Europe and the scope of the profession. In this article the broad scope of the profession is illustrated with various examples of occupational therapy interventions. The interventions are identified by means of a literature search. A questionnaire (the questionnaire is available by mailing the author) was sent out to experts across Europe which resulted in both relevant literature and evidence-based examples. The evidence level of these examples differs from expert opinion (5), case series (4), case–controlled studies (3), cohort studies (2) and randomized-control trial (1). The article ends with recommendations in four areas how to develop, establish or strengthen the profession in primary care.

Home is a significant environment for any child with or without special needs and one of the important environments where occupational therapy is aimed to bring improvement if necessary in terms of quality of life. The current descriptive qualitative study was designed to find out parental perceptions about occupational therapies provided in their own environments with their children with special needs. The participants of the study were five parents whose children with different special needs were getting private in-house occupational therapy services provided by the researcher at the moment of the study. The data for this study was collected through semi-structured interviews. Interviews were designed to understand how parents perceive in-house Occupational Therapy Services.    The findings of the study suggest significant improvements in the quality of life of their children with special needs, thus no one could specifically differ occupational therapy interventions in-home and in other professional settings. It is obvious because of the lack of settings in Armenia with Occupational Therapies and lack of information about the profession in general. Future research is recommended to be conducted between two different groups with Occupational Therapies in-home and other settings, with a larger group and more specific issues. Findings revealed that in-home services are convenient in many different aspects for parents of children with special needs and it should be considered for future practices.

Background. As symptoms of COVID-19 infection are varying in severity and type, the long-term disability is yet to be established due to a short time-window since the pandemic started. Most survivors will have persistent pulmonary symptoms even after the infection, which raises the awareness of the importance of pulmonary rehabilitation in these patients, as they are mostly young, with severely diminished quality of life as they are unable to perform their basic activities of daily living as before. Occupational therapy is a form of rehabilitation treatment aimed at maximizing functionality and independence in performing activities of daily living, improvement of the patient’s autonomy and prevention of further functional decline. Objective. The purpose of the current work is to review the most important occupational therapy interventions applicable during a pulmonary rehabilitation program for chronic pulmonary pathologies, that can also be applied in COVID-19 survivors with persistent respiratory symptoms. Discussion. The main objectives of occupational therapy in pulmonary rehabilitation are training using breathing techniques at rest and during task performance, upper limbs training to increase exercise tolerance, programming and simplifying daily activities, informing patients of the importance of asking for help, planning the day/week, organizing the environment, educating the patient. All these objectives can be achieved in a simple way and at low-cost. Conclusions. Occupational therapy intervention during comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation must be promoted to specifically evaluate and solve problems related to respiratory disability. Occupational tasks should be related to symptoms occurring during specific activities. Standardized protocols and definition of outcomes during occupational therapy intervention are lacking. Keywords: occupational therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, COVID-19, activities of daily living, quality of life,
