Abstract(s)
A afasia é uma perturbação da linguagem adquirida, causada por uma lesão cerebral nas estruturas responsáveis pelo processamento da linguagem. Esta pode ocorrer de forma isolada ou associada a mudanças neurológicas ou neuropsicológicas, responsáveis pelo aumento de incapacidade do indivíduo. Ao refletir sobre a intervenção dos Terapeutas da Fala em pessoas com afasia destacam-se duas abordagens que orientam a prática do clínico: a abordagem orientada para a linguagem e a abordagem orientada para a comunicação. Para ultrapassar as barreiras impostas pela perturbação desenvolveram-se as estratégias de comunicação ou compensatórias, que podem ser usadas pela pessoa com afasia e/ou parceiro comunicativo. Em particular, a estratégia escrita insere-se principalmente na terapia orientada para a comunicação.
Este projeto de investigação tem como objetivo geral caracterizar a utilização da estratégia escrita pelos Terapeutas da Fala em pessoas com afasia. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo com carácter descritivo, no qual a amostra é constituída por 58 Terapeutas da Fala com experiência na área da afasia. Os participantes foram obtidos através de um método de amostragem não-probabilístico por conveniência e por redes. Para a recolha de dados foi utilizado um questionário composto por duas partes: (1) caracterização socioprofissional e (2) utilização da estratégia escrita pelos Terapeutas da Fala em pessoas com afasia. O instrumento era de autoadministração e de preenchimento online.
Nesta amostra, verificou-se que a maioria dos participantes utiliza “muitas vezes” a estratégia escrita durante a intervenção. Ao longo da análise dos resultados constatou-se que as respostas diferem conforme o subtipo da afasia, os défices linguísticos, as características gerais da pessoa, as situações para aplicação da estratégia, as estratégias escritas específicas e o material de suporte. Os resultados obtidos permitiram a realização de poucas correlações estatisticamente significativas entre as respostas ao questionário e as variáveis idade, experiência profissional e escolaridade. Além disso, averiguou-se as correlações entre a utilização da estratégia escrita em função do diagnóstico e as respetivas características linguísticas.
Aphasia is an acquired language disorder, caused by a brain injury in the structures responsible for language processing. It may occur in isolation or associated with neurological or neuropsychological changes, which are responsible for the individual's increased disability. When reflecting on Speech and Language Therapists intervention in people with aphasia, two approaches that guide clinician practice are highlighted: a language-oriented approach and a communication-oriented approach. In order to overcome the barriers imposed by the disorder, communication or compensatory strategies have been developed, which can be used by the person with aphasia and/or communication partner. In particular, writing as a strategy which is part of the communication-oriented therapy. This research aims to characterize the use of writing as a strategy by Speech and Language Therapists in people with aphasia. This is a descriptive quantitative study, in which the sample consists of 58 Speech Language Therapists with experience in the area of aphasia. It follows a non-probabilistic sampling method for convenience and networks. To collect data, a questionnaire consisting of two parts was used: (1) socio-professional characterization and (2) use of writing as a strategy by Speech Language Therapists in people with aphasia. The instrument was self-administered and completed online. In this sample, it was found that the majority of participants used writing as a strategy “often” during the intervention. Throughout the analysis of the results, it was verified that the answers differ according to the subtype of aphasia, the linguistic deficits, the general characteristics of the person, the situations for the application of the strategy, the specific written strategies and the support material. The results obtained allowed the accomplishment of few statistically significant correlations between the answers to the questionnaire and the variables age, professional experience and schooling. In addition, correlations between the use of the writing as a strategy in relation to the diagnosis and the respective linguistic characteristics were investigared.
