Abstract

Objective: To identify occupational patterns in adolescents deprived of liberty, understood as habits, roles, and occupational routines. Materials and method: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out, including a population of 61 adolescents of both sexes in a detention center for adolescents located in the municipality of Zinacantepec, State of Mexico. Occupational therapy evaluation instruments, role lists, interest lists, and habits and routines questionnaires were applied, with an occupational and habituation perspective from the model of human occupation (MOHO). Results: Prior to admission, the occupational roles of the adolescents were student (22%), worker (45%), being with their family (4%), and other roles (9%); likewise, 20% considered their occupation within antisocial behavior as part of their occupational identity. On the other hand, the perception of roles from the past versus roles of greater interest in the future yielded the following results: a desire to participate as a volunteer (78%), caregiver (72%), participate in activities within the home (60%); while 90 % of them are considering returning to their work activities and 49 % are considering returning to their educational activities. The statistics for the most frequent crimes among the adolescents evaluated were distributed as follows: robbery (12.2%), homicide (9.7%), and kidnapping (6.1%). Likewise, the average age for male adolescents in the crime of robbery is 15 years; for homicide and kidnapping, it is 17 years; while for female adolescents, it is 16 years for homicide and 17 years for kidnapping. Conclusion: The occupational patterns perceived by adolescents, according to their importance in their daily lives and related to the most frequent crimes at specific ages, allow us to know how their occupations are distributed in their daily lives, in what way their interests are part of their life, and how these occupational patterns are carried in the deprivation of liberty.
