Abstract

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a critical condition that significantly impacts both the physical and psychological well-being of patients, often leading to extended hospital stays and increased healthcare costs. This review explores the role of Occupational Therapy (OT) in managing AKI patients, particularly in enhancing functional outcomes and psychological health. The review synthesizes findings from 21 peer-reviewed studies published between 2019 and 2024, focusing on OT interventions for adult AKI patients. Results indicate that OT improves functional independence, as measured by ADL assessments, and enhances psychosocial outcomes by reducing anxiety and boosting self-management skills. Additionally, OT's role in interdisciplinary team approaches is highlighted, improving communication and individualized care. Despite the promising findings, the review also identifies limitations, such as small sample sizes and varying intervention methods. The paper concludes by advocating for more large-scale studies to establish evidence-based protocols for OT in AKI rehabilitation.

Abstract

Childhood obesity is a rapidly growing medical problem worldwide, increasing the risk of long-term illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and psychological problems. Despite the many interventions available, physical activity remains crucial in the treatment of childhood obesity. This study explores the experiences of obese children who participate in treadmill-based interventions. This qualitative study, based on in-depth interviews with children and their parents, aims to reveal the benefits, difficulties, and psychological impact of treadmill training in obesity management programs. Themes that emerged included motivation, parental involvement, and the emotional and physical challenges faced by children. The results show that parental support and maintaining long-term motivation are key to the success of this intervention.
