Theoretical Proposal

The present proposal aims to unify certain criteria used in the speech therapy planning process in the voice area, considering the CIF model promoted by the World Health Organization. A framework is offered that considers the organization of therapeutic contents under an adequate hierarchical criterion in accordance with the therapeutic orientations that the speech therapist determines, as well as guidelines around the formulation of objectives and characteristics that they must have of respect the SMART format suggested by the literature. In addition, the importance of the contextual factors of the user is indicated in the establishment of activities of generalization / transfer of clinical achievements as a binding stage between the levels of "Function / Structure" and "Participation / Activity". It is expected that this proposal will generate a professional discussion that tends to establish adequate parameters of therapeutic organization both for academic purposes and for clinical practice.

Significant Shortage

The world is in a critical period of time in relation to human resources for health. One of the most significant obstacles for achieving health system effectiveness is the availability of a skilled health workforce, particularly nurses. The World Health Organization estimates that there is a significant shortage of nurses all over the world. Nurses are the main professional component of the ‘front line’ staff in the majority of health systems and their contribution is recognised as essential to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and delivering safe, accessible and effective care. A shortage in the nursing workforce will lead to a failure to maintain or improve health care (Buchan & Aiken, 2008).

Health Field

The World Association for Psychosocial Rehabilitation (WAPR) could be considered as a newcomer among scientific societies in the mental health field, because it was established in 1986 in France, when about 100 professionals from 35 countries met at its founding congress. That congress was preceded by an extensive international planning process, which began with the First World Congress on Rehabilitation for the Mentally Ill in Helsinki, in 1970. Subsequent meetings of key professionals and agency representatives from various countries, mainly supported by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Labour Office, resulted in the formation, in 1980, of a promoting group which planned, through its international secretariat, the foundation of the WAPR. Therefore, close links with the mental health programme of the WHO have been maintained by the WAPR since its beginnings.

Around the end of December 2019, a new beta-coronavirus from Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China began to spread rapidly. The new virus, called SARS-CoV-2, which could be transmitted through respiratory droplets, had a range of mild to severe symptoms, from simple cold in some cases to death in others. The disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 was named COVID-19 by WHO and has so far killed more people than SARS and MERS. Following the widespread global outbreak of COVID-19, with more than 132758 confirmed cases and 4955 deaths worldwide, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic disease in January 2020. Earlier studies on viral pneumonia epidemics has shown that pregnant women are at greater risk than others. During pregnancy, the pregnant woman is more prone to infectious diseases. Research on both SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, which are pathologically similar to SARS-CoV-2, has shown that being infected with these viruses during pregnancy increases the risk of maternal death, stillbirth, intrauterine growth retardation and, preterm delivery. With the exponential increase in cases of COVID-19 throughout the world, there is a need to understand the effects of SARS-CoV-2 on the health of pregnant women, through extrapolation of earlier studies that have been conducted on pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV. There is an urgent need to understand the chance of vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from mother to fetus and the possibility of the virus crossing the placental barrier. Additionally, since some viral diseases and antiviral drugs may have a negative impact on the mother and fetus, in which case, pregnant women need special attention for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of COVID-19.
