- Abstract
Objective: to summarize the information produced about limitations and disabilities in post-treatment for leprosy. Method: integrative review conducted in May and June 2015 in CINAHL, LILACS, PubMed and Scopus databases, using the indexed descriptors: Leprosy, Patient Discharge and People with Disabilities and their counterparts in English and Spanish, together with the Boolean and operator. Results: we selected 15 studies, of which 26.6% are focused on evaluating the limitation of activities and social participation of the individual in post-treatment for leprosy and another 26.6% for the assessment of physical disabilities. Three categories were identified through thematic analysis: Profile of users in post-treatment for leprosy; Social impact; and post-treatment therapeutic possibilities and followup. Conclusion: studies have shown predominance of multibacillary cases with physical disabilities, limitations in activities and of social participation among users in post-treatment for leprosy, suggesting the need for the continuity of care after release from medication.
