ABSTRACT:
INTRODUCTION: Patients with functional and cognitive sequelae after ICU discharge frequently return home without adequate guidance on continuity of care. This lack of information compromises access to multidisciplinary rehabilitation and favors complications and chronicity of disabilities. In response to this gap, an educational booklet was developed to guide patients and families about the services offered by Specialized Rehabilitation Centers (CERs) in Rondônia. OBJECTIVE: To report the application of a booklet aimed at guiding patients and families on post-ICU discharge care and access to public rehabilitation services in the state. METHOD: This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. The material, developed by physiotherapy residents of the Adult Intensive Care Program, contained information about the Functional Rehabilitation Centers and the Orthopedic Workshop in the state, the services offered, and the materials provided by the SUS (Brazilian Unified Health System). The application took place in July 2025, in the wards of the João Paulo II Hospital and Emergency Room and in the Intensive Medical Assistance (AMI), totaling 60 booklets. Patients who were oriented and/or their respective companions were included, provided they were present at the time of the intervention and had verbal comprehension skills. Disoriented and unaccompanied patients, or those who refused to participate, were excluded. Feedback was collected through a digital form (Google Forms) and verbal responses gathered at the time of the intervention. RESULTS: The feedback from patients and companions, collected verbally and through a digital form, was very positive, with the material being described as "clear" and "necessary." The responses reinforced the practical usefulness of the booklet, which proved fundamental, as most participants were unaware of rehabilitation services before receiving it. A difficulty in application was the lack of material adapted to diverse audiences, such as illiterate individuals or those with reading difficulties, which would have made the project more accessible and comprehensive. Overall, the material was well received and of great value to the public. ETHICAL ASPECTS: Submission to the Research Ethics Committee was not required, complying with current national standards for research with human beings, guaranteeing confidentiality, voluntariness, and anonymity. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: The booklet can enhance the effectiveness in reducing barriers to access to information, regarding points of care in the Rondônia territory, by disseminating information about services previously little known to participants. The experience highlighted the need for accessible materials, such as explanatory videos, recommending their expansion as a strategy for inclusion, health equity, and strengthening care practices.
