Standardization of terms of sensory responses

Thais Caroline Pereira and Claudia Maria Cabral Moro Barra

Abstract: 

There is evidence that autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder, is associated with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), which involves atypical behaviors that are often narrated in the patient's medical records in a non-standardized way and are difficult to identify. To help with this, the aim of this article was to draw up a list to help extract information from medical records. The research was carried out in three phases: in the first, developed by means of a systematic review, there was a definition of the sensory responses that identify SPT; in the second, the identification of these responses in the narratives of medical records; and in the third, the association of the main sensory responses that identify SPT with those identified in the narratives of clinical records. As a result, three lists were obtained: referring to the main sensory responses related to SPT; to the sensory responses identified in medical records; and, associating the main sensory responses related to SPT with those identified in medical record narratives clinicians.It was observed that the list drawn up with the main sensory responses related to SPD helps to extract information, showing that it is possible to use medical records to identify this disorder.
