AB Background: Haemophilia is a haematological disease, although most haemorrhagesoccur in the locomotor system. Patients are physically disabled from an early age andhave a poorer perception of quality of life. In the day-to-day lives of patients and theirfamilies, psychosocial well-being, the disease’s physical, personal, and social impact, aswell as work-related problems are the most complicated aspects of the disease thatneed to be addressed.Objective: To identify the role of occupational therapy in managing patients withhaemophilia and to analyse the therapeutic potential of occupational therapy intreating these patients.Methods: A scoping review was conducted to identify the role of occupational therapyin managing patients with haemophilia and to analyse the therapeutic potential ofoccupational therapy in treating these patients. The review was registered in the internationalregistry PROSPERO (Id: CRD42022319637). The databases consulted wereSCOPUS, PubMed, PsycINFO,Web of Science and Science Direct, including all studiespublished until 14 August 2023.Results: No single study was found that specifically developed an occupational therapyintervention for patients with haemophilia. Measurement instruments have beenidentified, specific for patients with haemophilia and generic, that can be useful for thefunctional evaluation of these patients in the occupational therapy approach.Differentstudies showed the importance of multidisciplinary treatment, including occupationaltherapy.Conclusions: The use of occupational therapy could be effective in improving autonomyand quality of life in haemophilia patients. Therefore, it is of paramountimportance to conduct research studies within the field of occupational therapy.
