ICF Flashcards
what does the ICF stand for
international classification of functioning, disability and health
who developed the ICF
WHO
what is the ICF
designed to create a new perspective or framework for conceptualizing describing and organizing information of functioning and disability related to the health of persons with disabilities
definition and measurement of health and disability
what does the ICF emphasize
functional health; can still be healthy even if you live with a chronic disease
what are the aims of ICF
provide a scientific basis for understanding and studying health and health related states outcomes determinants and changes in health status and functioning
establish a common language
permit comparison of data
provide a systematic coding scheme for health information systems
what is the history of the ICF
there was a disjointed approach with treating individuals with health conditions so in 2001 the WHO adopted the ICF
ICF-CY (children/youth) was made in 2007
70 countries adopted ICF
what are the three evolution of disability models
medical model- pathology emphasis
social model - social and environmental barriers create the disability
biopsychosocial model - both; the ICF model
think about how the ICF is different or the same as the medical model
ICF is more broad
ICF sees disability as barriers and not just health
ect
what are the four underlying principles of the ICF
universality- applicable to all people irrespective of health conditions and in all physical social and cultural contexts; acknowledges anyone can have a disability
not to label people with disabilities as a separate group of people
parity and aetiological- not an explicit or implicit distinction between different health conditions whether mental or physical; all health conditions on equal footing
neutrality - neutral language, so it can be used to classify both positive or negative aspects of functioning and disability
environmental influence - the ICF includes environmental factors in recognition of the important role of environment in peoples functioning
disability is an umbrella term…
impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions
disability is not just a health problem
it is complex reflecting on the interaction between features of a persons body and features of the society
functioning is an umbrella term…
the body function, body structures, activities and participation
define body functions
the physiological functions of body systems
define body structures
anatomical parts of the body such as organs limbs and their components
define impairments
problems in a body function and structure such as significant deviation or loss
define activity
the execution of task or action by an individual
define participation
involvement in a life situation
define activity limitations
difficulties an individual may have in executing activities
define participation restrictions
problems an individual may experience in involvement in life situations
define environmental factors
the physical social and attitudinal environment in which people live and conduct their lives. barriers
define health condition
the term health condition is the framework heading of the diagnosed condition or disease relevant to the person
define personal factors
the domain of personal factors has yet to be coded by the WHO as a result of the great number of possibilities for personal attributes to be considered within this area
note that the personal factors are apart of the interactive model but not the
ICF
what is the components of the ICF hierarchically arranged domains
sets of related physiological functions anatomical structures actions tasks areas of life and external influences
the ICF is a framework and classification system on which
tools for measuring or assessing individual functioning may be based and to which they can be mapped
define qualifiers
are codes used to record the extent of functioning or disability in a domain or category or the extent to which an environmental factor is a facilitator or barrier
a uniform or generic qualifier is
provided to record the extent of the problem in relation to impairment activity limitation and participation restriction
what is the environmental factors qualifier
uses both a positive and negative scale to indicate the extent to which an environmental factor acts as either a facilitator or barrier to functioning
two constructs are _ and_ can be used in operationalising the qualifier scale for the activities and participation domains
performance and capacity
these constructs provide a way of indicating how the environment impacts on a persons activities and participation and how environmental change may improve a persons functioning
define capacity
relates to what an individual can do in a standardized environment. this often involve some kind of clinical assessment
define performance
related to what the person actually does in his or her current (usual) environment
the gap between capacity and performance reflects the
difference between the impacts of current and uniform environments and thus provides a useful guide as to what can be done to the environment of the individual to improve performance
the ICF is a strong fit for recreational therapy due to the use of
environmental and personal contextual domains as facilitators or barriers to participation in community life
provides a clear clinical structure for the recreational therapist to both improve the activity and functioning domains while also mitigating barriers and capitalizing on strengths within contextual domains to improve overall participation in society
what are the principals for ICF that translate to RT
provides the care provider with more then a medical diagnosis
the focus is on the functional capacity and the provision of optimal life experiences for the individual. it is strength-based
reconceptualization of chronic illness and disability into the continuum of health and function help to remove the stigma and isolation seen in the past
how has the RT embraced the ICF
a family education and community reintegration program
a community based program for people with disabilities
within a program for veterans with disabilities
with youth with hearing impairments attending a camp
