Abstract
FELISBINO, Jonas et al. Rehabilitation in the day-to-day of people with post-covid-19 neurological sequelae: scoping review. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2024, vol.23, n.73, pp.541-592. Epub Feb 23, 2024. ISSN 1695-6141. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/eglobal.571721.
Objective:
To map available scientific evidence on rehabilitation in the daily lives of people with post-covid-19 neurological sequelae.
Methodology:
This is a scoping review according to the guidelines of the Joanna Briggs Institute. The included studies were based on the mnemonic strategy participants/ problem (adult people with neurological sequelae), concept (rehabilitation in everyday life) and context (covid-19 pandemic), with timeframe from 2020 to 2022, available in the seven selected databases, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, collected and analyzed according to PRISMA-ScR.
Results:
A total of 1,027 studies were recovered, and the sample consisted of 11 articles that presented rehabilitation programs for sequelae: fatigue, anosmia, cognitive and neuropsychological disorders. Among the main rehabilitation programs found, the following stand out: progression walking, breathing exercises; olfactory training using essential oils and cognitive approaches. From the findings, the rehabilitation process has been shown to be effective for the management of post-covid-19 neurological sequelae, and should be started early.
Conclusions:
Rehabilitation programs should involve a multidisciplinary team, since the disease presents persistent multisystemic symptoms, involving a holistic approach, which encompasses behavioral aspects related to self-care, physical rehabilitation, emotional support and health education, promoting recovery and improving the quality of life of individuals affected by the disease.
