Summary

A previous study that involved the intervention of the occupational therapist (OT) on complex patients both in hospital and at home showed the effectiveness of OT during hospitalization. The effectiveness was not demonstrated in the post-discharge phase. Now, the investigators presented a RCT to compare the levels of social reintegration between the intervention group and control group. The hypothesis is that the intervention group obtains a higher and clinically relevant level of social reintegration compared to the group treated with the usual care.
