Abstract:

A successful rehabilitation process requires communication among professionals and services. The objective of this cross sectional study was to create the patients’ profile and understand their demands for seeking public rehabilitation services from Belo Horizonte. Data were analyzed from 516 patients who gained entry into the health care system by means of the Protocol for Identification of Problems for Rehabilitation (PLPR). It allows for gathering information related to one’s health and the social context, including a brief functional description (BFD) with 25 items. Most patients were females, mean age of 57 years, 54% declared to be responsible for the family income. Severe or complete difficulty in at least one item from the BDF was reported by 87%. Pain and Mobility domains showed greater disability. The patient’s demand for services referred them mostly to physical therapy (89%), and psychology (14%); 77% were referred to basic care (BC), 21% to specialized care (SC). Those that started rehabilitation in SC were younger, and had increased number of high ratings in item’s qualifiers, indicating increased functional limitation/restriction. It is intended that the PLPR may contribute to the organization of patients’ flow and the planning of actions in the public rehabilitation network.
