AB OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the occupational therapeutic process by through
activities performed by AIDS seropositive patients, relating them to
their individual evolution process on the disease. METHODS: Ambulatorial
therapeutic attendance of seropositive patients, classified by age, sex,
exposition category, CDC classification; monthly, biweekly and weekly
periods, from 1988 to 1993. The activities were chosen by the patients,
with some guidance on material selection. Five phases were defined as
patient behavior, called expression phases (crisis, reorganization,
revolt, hope and death). Analysis and evaluation of their expressive
process through the activities types. RESULTS: 172 patients were
attended, on 1491 sessions. Age from 04 to 60 years old, both sex.
Exposition category: blood and sexual. CDC classification: II, III, IV.
266 activities were developed during the sessions. They were divided in
25 types. The expression phases were materialized on the products of the
therapeutic activities. CONCLUSION: The expression phases are
materialized on the activities which are determined by the individual
evolution process of the disease.. This study permitted a better
guidance on the material selection of the activities, but not a
therapeutic procedure on the selection of the activities.
