Abstract

SUMMARY

Objective: To understand the perception of users of a physical rehabilitation program about their experiences in facing barriers to accessibility and urban mobility to attend consultations at a Specialized Rehabilitation Center. Method: Descriptive study, qualitative approach, carried out in 2019, in the Metropolitan Region I of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Data collected through semi-structured interviews, analyzed in the light of content analysis, thematic approach. Results: From the analysis, four categories emerged that showed repeated challenging experiences in the course of their residences for scheduling in the rehabilitation program, facing urban mobility environments unsuitable for the circulation of people with some type of disability or reduced mobility. Final Considerations: Participants experience embarrassing situations that make them feel powerless, unmotivated, frustrated and with low self-esteem, requiring rehabilitation teams to adopt welcoming strategies for care so that they do not compromise the achievement of goals planned in the rehabilitation program.
