Relationship between performance patterns and occupational behavior in overweight schoolchildren at the Guaimaral Technical Institute in Cúcuta

Abstract

The overall objective of this research is to determine the impact of performance patterns on occupational behaviors in the population at risk of obesity at the Guaimaral Technical Institute, Cúcuta. The methodology employed is quantitative and descriptive, using data collection techniques such as the sociodemographic form, the Occupational Performance Historical Interview (OPHI-II), and the MOHOST assessment instrument. The target population includes overweight high school students selected through random, non-probability sampling. The instruments used include the sociodemographic form to characterize the population, the OPHI-II to assess performance patterns, and the MOHOST to assess occupational behavior. This study seeks to provide an understanding of how habits, routines, and roles affect overweight and offer a solid basis for designing occupational therapy interventions.
