Abstract

Uvod: Multipla skleroza (MS) je kronično nevrološko in avtoimunsko obolenje, ki se najpogosteje pojavi med 20. in 40. letom starosti. Glede na potek MS ločimo štiri vrste bolezni: recidivno-remitentno MS, sekundarno-progresivno MS, primarno-progresivno MS in progresivno-recidivno. Podporna tehnologija (PT) je splošno opredeljena kot izdelek, naprava, pripomoček, oprema ali sistem, ki vpliva na premagovanje ovir in doseganja napredka v samostojnosti na različnih področjih človekovega delovanja. PT lahko doprinese h kakovosti življenja osebe z MS. Poleg PT, ki omogoča osebam z MS samostojnejše izvajanje dnevnih aktivnosti ter izboljšuje njihovo mobilnost in dostop do informacij, imata pomembno vlogo pri funkcioniranju tudi domače okolje in delovni terapevt. Domače okolje, ki ni prilagojeno potrebam osebe z MS, lahko vpliva na njeno zmožnost izvajanja okupacij, poveča se lahko možnost padcev in dodatnih poškodb. Namen: Namen je bil raziskati, kaj je do sedaj znanega o uporabi PT pri osebah z MS v domačem okolju. Metode dela: Izveden je bil pregled literature. Iskanje je potekalo v iskalnih bazah PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science in OTseeker. Članke smo ocenili po relevantnosti in ravni dokazov. Rezultati: V končno analizo smo vključili osem raziskav. V vse raziskave so bile vključene odrasle osebe z MS. Dve raziskavi sta bili kvantitativni, v treh sta bili integrirani kvalitativna in kvantitativna metoda, pri ostalih treh pa je šlo za sistematični pregled literature. Raziskave so bile objavljene v razponu od leta 2001 do 2022. Na podlagi pregleda literature smo oblikovali tri teme. Razprava in zaključek: Delovni terapevti imajo pomembno vlogo pri obravnavi oseb z MS v rabi PT, ki znatno izboljšuje kakovost življenja. Najpogosteje uporabljena PT se navezuje na mobilnost. Med osebami z MS je pogosto posluževanje telerehabilitacije in adaptacije domačega okolja. Pomembno je zavedanje o pozitivnih in negativnih posledicah PT na osebe z MS ter upoštevanje kontekstualnih dejavnikov okolja pri izbiranju pripomočkov.

Secondary title: Assistive technology for people with multiple sclerosis in the home environment
Secondary abstract: Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological and autoimmune disease that most commonly occurs between the ages of 20 and 40. There are four types of MS: relapsing-remitting MS, secondary-progressive MS, primary-progressive MS and progressive-relapsing MS. Assistive technology (AT) is generally defined as a product, device, aid, equipment or system that helps to overcome barriers and achieve progress in independence in various areas of human functioning. AT can contribute to the quality of life of a person with MS. In addition to the assistive devices that enable people with MS to perform their daily activities more independently and that improve their mobility and access to information, the home environment and the occupational therapist play an important role in their ability to function. A home environment that is not adapted to the needs of the person with MS may impair their ability or inability to perform activities and increase the likelihood of falls and further injury. Purpose: The purpose of this review was to examine what is currently known about the use of AT by people with MS in the home environment. Methods: A literature search was conducted. The search was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science and OTseeker. Articles were screened for relevance and level of evidence. Results: All studies involved adults with MS. Two studies were quantitative, three combined qualitative and quantitative methods, and the remaining three were systematic literature reviews. The studies were published between 2001 and 2022. Based on the literature review, we developed three themes. Discussion and conclusion: Occupational therapists play an important role in the treatment of people with MS through the use of assistive devices that significantly improve quality of life. The most commonly used assistive devices relate to mobility. Tele-rehabilitation and home environment adaptations are frequently used by people with MS. It is important to be aware of the positive and negative effects of assistive devices on people with MS and to consider contextual environmental factors when selecting assistive devices.
