Core set da CIF para queimados: instrumento proposto e utilizado na Universidade Federal de Uberlândia

Abstract

GOAL: Present an original instrument of the main set (core set) of ICF: International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for comprehensive and accurate diagnosis of burn patients, as well as creating prospects for their routine use in specialized services. METHOD: For the Body Functions domain (b), the qualifiers were developed by the burn depth classification, and graded by the complexity of the problem. The Body Structures (s) was based on a classification of the degree of extension and severity of burns. The second qualifier is defined by the nature and the third suggests the location of the lesion. For Activities and Participation (d) domain, qualifiers were based on the Capacity and Performance constructs. For Environmental Factors (e) contains qualifiers that incorporate features such as enablers (+), relating to the accessibility of a resource or barriers (.), measured by the frequency and level of difficulty of the factor that limits the patient, as well as the absence or presence of services necessary for the patient's integrity. RESULTS: From the collection, a flowchart was used to track 7 core sets from databases that used the ICF to classify burn patients, but results were not found. CONCLUSION: Presentation of a coreset for diagnosis of burn patients in an unprecedented way, developed in the context of the care of patients at the Burns Unit of the Hospital of Clinics of the Federal University of Uberlandia (UFU). This tool can be used in health services adapting to the local reality, being the basis for future improvements.
