L2 ICF Flashcards
what does ICF stand for
International classification of Functioning, disability and health (WHO, 2001)
medical model of disability
- Views disability as a feature if the person, directly caused by a disease or health condition
- It requires medical care, treatment or intervention
problem with medical model of disability
sees disability as a problem to fix, and therefore views disabled people as less than for having their disability
social model of disability
- Views disability as a socially created problem and not at all an attribute of an individual
- Demands a political response as the problem is created by an unaccommodating physical environment, or brought about by attitudes and other features of a social environment
problem with social model of disability
doesn’t recognise the broad spectrum of disability eg. a condition that causes severe chronic pain is a real physical problem
biopsychosocial model of disability
- Integrates the best parts of the medical and social models without making the mistakes that they each make
- Doesn’t reduce the complex notion of disability to one of its aspects
- Validly measuring disability involves reviewing all aspects of the complexity
three different perspectives of health that ICF takes into consideration
biological, individual and social
biological factors impacting disability
age, gender, genetics, physiologic reactions, tissue health
psychological factors affecting disability
mental health, emotional health, beliefs and expectations
sociological affects of disability
interpersonal relationships, social support dynamics and socioeconomics
three things domains of the ICF help us describe changes in
- body structure and function
- capacity
- performance
capacity
what a person with a health environment can do in a standard environment
performance
what a person with a health condition actually does in their usual environment
three ways domains in the ICF are classified
- body structures and function perspective
- activity and participation perspective
- personal and environmental perspective
body functions
physiological functions of body systems
body structures
anatomical parts of the body such as organs or limbs and their components
impairments
problems in body function or structure such as a significant deviation or loss
activity
he execution of a task or action by an individual
activity limitations
difficulties an individual may have in executing activities
participation
involvement in a life situation
participations restrictions
problems an individual may experience in involvement in life situations
Environmental factors
the physical, social, and attitudinal environment in which people live and conduct their lives
- Has + facilitators
- Has - barriers
four potential uses of the ICF
- Service provision - assessment, diagnosis, and intervention evaluation
- Research - international collaboration
- Policy development
- Economic Analyses
three parts of ICF codes
- Code - what we are talking about - ie a component such as body function or environment eg. structures involved in voice and speech
- Domain: what domain of the component are we referencing eg. tongue
- Qualifier - what are we saying about it - presence ans severity of a problem in functioning at body, person and societal levels eg. moderate/partial absence
