Abstract

The present article has as aim to identify and describe the participation of young persons in the instrumental activities of the daily life (IADL). To describe the occupational participation of young people in the instrumental activities of the daily life it became ne- cessary not only to investigate the participation, but to analyze the occupational forms and functions that cross them. We worked with a mixed cuali-quantitative methodology, with an exploratory design of descriptive the type. The sample was com- posed by 34 young persons. Varied forms of participation and functions that crossed each activity were identified and described. The results revealed that all young people’s take part in instrumental activities of the daily life, nevertheless none of them takes part in all the activities that are included in the IADL. In the discussion, it is thought over the place that the IADL occupy in relation to the classification, to the development, and to the aims. And the paper shares some of the difficulties that we experiment on during the development of the investigation related to the construction of the, instrument of compilation of information, report of information, classification and categorization.
