Abstract

Introduction: Occupational therapist intervenes at the problems in the daily occupational performance of the person or the community, seeking social participation. Aim: This study identified and analyzed the Bioethics in the formation of the occupational therapist in Brazil, its importance in the development of competences and abilities in the areas of health, social assistance, education and culture, in the face of the bioethical dilemmas that arise in the professional relationships. Method: The Universal Declaration of Bioethics and Human Rights of UNESCO (DUBDH) was used as reference for this analysis with the Code of Ethics and Deontology of Occupational Therapy (CEDTO) in Brazil. Therefore, the following principles were studied: 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 18th, and 28th. Results: A comparative and exploratory study was obtained between the principles of the DUBDH, described in its articles, and the articles of the CEDTO with the construction of the Demonstrative Data Table that represent this correlation. Conclusion: The discussion analyzed the correlation of the articles in the documents, hoping that it contributes to the increase of the Bioethics in the formation of the occupational therapist, leading to attitudinal changes.
