No malificiencia

Occupational therapy professionals must adhere to the principle of nonmaleficence, which emphasizes abstaining from actions that could cause harm to patients. This principle is rooted in Hippocratic Medicine, stressing the importance of not causing physical or psychological harm, including avoiding actions that induce suffering, pain, or deprive individuals of pleasure.

PROFESIONAL SITUATION: A 10 year old child with a disability is placed at the service of occupational therapy, the mother indicates that when she is at home she does not have adequate personal hygiene, because she does not like to get up and therefore prefers to urinate in bed; the therapist says that the child has no interest in being part of the intervention, since he does not see any meaning in the proposed activities given by the therapist. The therapist should never treat a patient abruptly and violently so that he can perform the proposed tasks. If the problem is not solved, the therapist should think and make new ideas and options so that the child feels more comfortable and can participate in the intervention, since the therapist always focused on the needs of the patient, so that the child adapt to the space you are in and secure in the activities you do in the session and in your daily life.
