Occupational Therapy Interventions In Post-War Rehabilitation: Specific Features In The Case Of Upper Limb Injuries

Abstract

This work aims to study the specific features of occupational therapy interventions in cases of upper limb injuries among military servicemen.

To conduct the research, the qualitative methodology has been applied. For data collection, we relied on documentary analysis, particularly on data gathered during the 2020 war. Alongside this, interviews were conducted with three occupational therapists who worked directly with servicemen who sustained upper limb injuries during the war.

The study revealed that occupational therapy interventions in cases of upper limb injuries not only contribute to physical rehabilitation but also play a significant role in improving quality of life, enhancing independence, and supporting social integration. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that occupational therapy interventions not only demonstrate effective outcomes in working with injured servicemen but also make an essential contribution to the overall rehabilitation process
