Abstract

[...]the promotion of social participation has been present in debates and interventions in the health care; daily transformation; promotion of autonomy, well-being and independence; exercise of citizenship; access to social rights; enjoyment of goods and services; defense of deinstitutionalization processes and rupture or fragility of supportive social relationships (BARROS; LOPES; GALHEIGO, 2007). For the authors in this review, social participation is the involvement of individuals in social groups and/or in public and community spaces, transforming the daily life and living conditions involving illness, violence, mental and/or psychological suffering, social and occupational injustice, inequality, prejudice, exclusion, and oppression. [...]different perspectives may be worked by occupational therapy to attribute other meanings to social participation. [...]through systematic review, this article aimed to investigate how Brazilian occupational therapy researchers conceptualize social participation, considering the theoretical references used or produced in the area to discuss this concept and contrast the different definitions of social participation found, including those presented by the authors of this study. Making a commitment to foster social participation or discussing it is a beginning to be a profession that transforms itself and the existing social order (GALHEIGO et al., 2012). [...]there is a need for ethical and theoretical-conceptual professional commitment to building practices and a specific and interdisciplinary field of knowledge (CORDOBA, 2011).
