Abstract

The pandemic caused by COVID-19, a disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, has challenged the delivery of quality healthcare worldwide, highlighting the stress capacity of healthcare systems. People who have required admission to Intensive Care Units (ICU) have presented specific rehabilitation needs that require an interdisciplinary and evidence-based approach. As a result of this situation, a reflection from the occupational therapy profession is proposed in order to analyse our role and the functions performed in ICUs during the pandemic, trying to glimpse if the interventions offered from the ICU respond to the use of occupation as the basis of treatment, promoting occupational justice and the promotion of human and occupational rights. It concludes by reflecting on the importance of providing the health system with the necessary resources, including the figure of the occupational therapist, in order to help meet the functional and psychosocial needs of the population, ensuring equity of care and helping the health system to cope with the pressure of care.
