**1. Introduction**

The occupational therapy (OT) treatment is a "client-centred" rehabilitation approach based on the occupational needs of the person as a unique individual. People identify with their occupations [1]; the loss of these occupations causes a decline in the perception of self-efficacy and depression.

During the acute phase of the illness, the medical team's main focus is on the person's state of health in its organic and physical components. Occupational therapy, in this early phase, brings the focus back to the individual's entire being and his or her position at the centre of the rehabilitation intervention. It has been shown that focusing rehabilitation on occupations that are meaningful to the person can improve their quality of life [1].
