Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to analyze the influence of the labor integration policies and strategies for people with disabilities on the organization and the employees, starting from the perspective of the Psychology of Work and Organizations. To do so, we start from the conceptualization of the organizational behavior model Human System Audit- HSA (Quijano, 2006), since it takes into account the connection between policies, management systems and results in people, and it also provides validated measurement instruments (Quijano, Navarro, Yepes, Berger, & Romeo, 2008). The main elements that this thesis provides as a differential value from previous studies are based on the analysis, at an organizational and individual level, of the impact of labor integration policies for people with disabilities on management systems, human resources and results, both in the context of the ordinary company and the special employment center. Moreover, and in detail, it provides to the research area knowledge and empirical support on the variables contributing to the labor integration of this group.

This research is subject to performance of professional human resources front of the selection of persons with disabilities within corporations within the sociohistorical psychology. His questioning lies in how the selection process, guided by techniques that consist of policies, ie, policies and procedures set by the organization that determine the future of the worker, will suit the peculiarities of the shortcomings? Justified this research to the extent that the figures released by research institutes presenting significant advances, regarding the inclusion of the disabled in the workplace, have not yet managed to achieve decent work provided by law, indicating that the quality of social inclusion that the legislation has guaranteed to persons with disabilities, needs to be debated and researched. The objectives are: to analyze the feelings, ideas and dilemmas that mobilize the HR professional; meet the selection practices; and reflect on the obstacles to the effectiveness of the quota law in the company. Thus, the results indicate that apparently occurs a related mystification concern not to discriminate thus refuses to disability and diluted the difference. Instead of contemplating the different needs, they are denied and homogenized. Not contemplate the uniqueness
A presente pesquisa tem por tema a atuação do profissional de recursos humanos frente à seleção de pessoas com deficiência dentro das corporações, no âmbito da psicologia sócio-histórica. Sua problematização se situa em como os processos seletivos, orientados por técnicas que são compostas por políticas, ou seja, normas e procedimentos definidos pela organização que determinam o futuro do trabalhador, vão se adequar às singularidades das deficiências? Justifica-se a presente investigação na medida em que os números divulgados pelos institutos de pesquisa apresentarem avanços significativos, no que tange à inclusão do deficiente no mundo do trabalho, ainda não se conseguiu atingir o trabalho decente previsto em lei, indicando que a qualidade da inclusão social que a legislação vem garantindo às pessoas com deficiência, precisa ser debatida e pesquisada. Os objetivos são: analisar os sentimentos, ideias e dilemas que mobilizam o profissional de RH; conhecer as práticas de seleção; e refletir sobre os obstáculos à efetivação da lei de cotas na empresa. Dessa forma, os resultados obtidos indicam que aparentemente ocorre uma mistificação relacionada a preocupação de não discriminar, assim, nega-se a deficiência e se dilui a diferença. Ao invés de contemplar as necessidades diferentes, elas são negadas e homogeneizadas. Não se contempla a singularidade

Full textAcessibility is a concept that can be defined in several diferent ways, including a definition that can be linked to the physical environment. The purpose of the essay is to describe how managers in gym in southern Sweden define the word accessibility, describe how professionals in gym in southern Sweden experience their gym accessibility for members with physical disabilities and, what managers in gym in southern Sweden feel that they do to improve accessbility for members with physical disabilities. The study has a qualitative approach where four different managers for four different gyms have been interviewd. To understand the results, the theories of the social model and the crypt theory have been used. The results show that the informants had other associations to the concept avaliability than just connected to the physical enviornment. Furthermore, the results of the interviews show that the managers feel that there are many shortcomings in the gym`s physical environment from an accesibility perspective and that most of the managers work to improve accessibility. The conclusion of te essay highlights that the gym is not an arena that can be said to be accessible to all individuals.

Full textObjectives: Aging process may include both physical and mental challenges for the individual. Body and life go through changes and limit the opportunities to participate in social networks in same extent as before. Many elderly experience loneliness, which in previous studies has been shown to have consequences for well-being as for physical and mental health. The objective of this study was to examine some of the factors associated with living conditions in old age (+70); social activity, social support, economy as well as mobility problems and how these can be associated with experiences of loneliness among the elderly. Examined in present ten year comparison is: (a) how the extent of social activities, social support, economy and mobility change over time, (b) how the experience of loneliness in old age change over time and (c) how changes in social activity, social support, economy and mobility during this ten year period affects the experience of loneliness. Material: Data from the 2004 and 2014 waves of the nationally representative Swedish Panel Study of Living Conditions of the Oldest Old (SWEOLD), a longitudinal study and database based on the sample of the Swedish level of living survey (LNU) was used (n = 466). Methods: Correlation between 2004 and 2014 loneliness and social activity, social support, economy and mobility was investigated in bivariate analyses and logistic regressions. Relation between loneliness 2014 and changes during 2004-2014 in social activity, social support, economy and mobility were investigated in logistic regression. Results: Social activity, social support and mobility problems were associated with feelings of loneliness in both 2004 and 2014. Social support and mobility were associated with loneliness 2004 but only social support remained significant associated with loneliness when adjusting for gender, age and living alone. Social activity, social support and mobility were significantly associated with loneliness 2014 even when adjusting for gender, age and living alone. Social activity and mobility decreased during the ten year period but only decrease in mobility was significantly associated with loneliness. The results were analyzed in the light of the capability theory. Conclusions: Supportive relationships, participation in social activity and not be hampered by physical disabilities are important aspects to avoid loneliness. The study stresses the importance of the social work and society's responsibility to meet up with capabilities when the individual's own capabilities are declining to provide opportunities to live a dignified and valuable life.

"La question du juste soin dans la prise en charge bucco-dentaire des patients présentant des limitations durables de leurs capacités de décision : des tensions éthiques aux perspectives d’évolution."

Full textIn France, under the impulse of the Law of 4 March 2002 on patients' rights and the quality of the health system, deep changes have been undertaken in the care relationship for a more active participation of patients. This imposes a repositioning of each individual involved in the relationship. The law specifies that the involvement of patients in decision-making should be sought even when they present limitations of their decision-making abilities. The affirmation of these rights is consistent with the recognition of patients' decision-making abilities and the development of a shared decision. Nevertheless, when the limits of these abilities are reached, it leads to practical difficulties in the consent of patients and/or legal guardians and caregivers. It is now recognized that the oral health needs of patients with enduring limitations of their decision-making abilities are not satisfied, and are increased compared to those of the general population. These health inequities result from many barriers in access to care and prevention, but also during care, and yet the principle of equal access to care for all citizens is recognized as a national legal principle. This situation constitutes a loss of opportunity for these people - especially as, beyond its local impacts, impaired oral health may have impacts on their overall health and particularly on their quality of life and social integration. These limitations, which accumulate day after day, may lead to symptomatic therapies being favoured without concerted thinking on a global functional rehabilitation. Yet it is recognized that the fight against health inequalities requires the development of comprehensive overall health care. This means that, relying on the participation of the different stakeholders including patients in decision-making, the barriers separating areas concerning health, social and educational care have to be abolished for a continuum by priority. The aim of this work is to explore, by qualitative and participatory research, the reasons for the limitations of the therapeutic response from each member of the care relationship - patients, caregivers and dentists. Once these reasons have been better understood, the different representations are considered face to face and the ethical tensions that emerge are discussed. Then, ways in which the management of oral health can be improved and, beyond this evolution, ways in which society could change are proposed with the ultimate hope of reducing health inequalities

Full textPeople with disabilities are an exposed group who are less healthy and more likely to suffer from illness than the rest of the population. In Sweden, there is a clear connection between people with disabilities and an unhealthy lifestyle. This health issue can be prevented though. Community health nurses are responsible to promote health for people with disabilities living in residence with special services in group housing. The intention with this study is to learn about the experiences community health nurses have while promoting health in group housing. 10 semi-structured interviews have been conducted with community health nurses working with disabled persons living in group housing. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyze the interviews. The result showed that all nurses experienced their health promoting work as complexed and challenging. They were frustrated with the inadequacy of support from their employer and lack of time to set aside for these tasks. The nurses described the staff working in group housing as essential for health promoting. The staff was described as a positive influence when they were engaged and competent in their field but could also work as an obstacle when they lacked those capacities. The result showed that the nurses experienced the lack of communication abilities and understanding in a healthy lifestyle of the persons with disabilities as the biggest obstacle in their work. Lastly, the results show deficiency in the health promoting work at the residences with special services in group housing led by the nurses. Further research is needed, both regarding the way health promoting work can be conducted by the community health nurse and how the work conditions best could be adapted.

Through the action research, this study explored how to establish a con-crete and feasible model and procedures for people with Visual Impairments and Additional Disabilities through Personal Futures Planning. From the model of Personal Futures Planning, the study also explored the difficulties and countermeasures when the organization implemented individual transi-tion plans, transition evaluations, and transition services. The researcher ini-tially selected a transferring-out client and a transferring-in client to partici-pate in the study at a Day Care Program in Taichung, and supervised each group participated and fulfilled the entire process of the action research. The core value of the Personal Futures Planning is the spirit of person-centered, which together with the six steps and two activities constitute the nine ele-ments of the Personal Futures Planning; these six steps are: 1. establish a transition team, 2. collect data, 3. develop an initial plan, 4. evaluations, 5. develop action plans, 6. Review and follow up; The two main activities are: convene meetings and create a personal portfolio. Eventually, based on the results of the study, the researcher provided in-formation to the individual, parents, service agencies, educational institutions, government agencies, and future research for future implementation.

Background: Osteoporosis can lead to various parts of the body fracture and thereby affecting the function of physical activities in daily life. It’s more likely to cause disability and even death. Although there are many discussions on osteoporosis risk factors in the past studies, few people attach importance to the correlation between intellectual disability people and osteoporosis. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to confer the demography, personal traits and patterns of daily life of people with intellectual disabilities above 18 years old and analyzing relevant factors between intellectual disabilities and osteoporosis. Methods: The study is by a cross-sectional investigation, according to the Health and Welfare Department of the Ministry of Social and Family Statistics, first through sampling disability organizations in Taiwan and doing self-questionnaire survey, and the main object of this study are all students in the organization over the age of 18. The questionnaire contains five parts: basic information intellectual disabilities, and eating behaviors, habits, physical condition and osteoporosis risk assessment scales and analyzed using SPSS 20.0. Results: Results show that the health condition of ID adults, 43.9% had chronic diseases and 62.7% were under long-term medication. For lifestyle, 23% with poor diet behaviors, 91.1% have regular workout 4.4 times a week. Each workout time is 15-30 minutes (63.0%). With a multiple logistic regression analysis, gender, age and eating behaviors were the main factors of ID people had osteoporosis. Man had lower risk of having osteoporosis (OR=0.327), and the risk of people aged 50 years or above was higher than age 18-29 years (OR=4.247). People with poor eating behaviors also got higher risk than other diet modules. (OR=13.363) Conclusions: The study highlights that gender, age and eating behaviors might cause higher risk of ID people having osteoporosis. Therefore, this study suggests that it is important to develop appropriate strategies for people with ID to prevent osteoporosis and ensure their life quality and personal health.

In order to live in the community independently, people with disabilities may choose to use home-based care (HC) services or hire a live-in migrant care worker (MC) in Taiwan. Since 2008, personal assistant (PA) services were just launched by an NPO, then, people with disabilities have another choice to apply for a PA in their daily life. Among these three services, which one for the users is more appreciated to support them to live independently? However, no research has focused on the comparison of these three services from the users’ own perspectives. This study aims to explore the users’ experiences and perceptions while they use these three services and also compare which service/s supports them to live in the community more independently. An in-depth interview was conducted and 6 users who have used at least two of these three services were invited and completed the interview between March to April, 2011. Findings suggest that the PA and MC were more welcomed by the users while comparing home-based care services. The MC could provide the longest hours of services, thus they became the essential assistants for the participants in their daily life. However, the ‘longest-working-hours’ was also the controversy for the live-in migrant care workers’ working conditions. The system of PA was designed to support people with disabilities. The PA provided the services from the wants of people with disabilities. The users felt they could control their own life with his/her PA’s support. However, the limited hours of services provided and resources also caused the users losing their autonomy. The users felt they were controlled while using the services provided by homecare workers; to what extent of the personal service programmes provided to them were determined by the professionals and the service providers. Additionally, due to the limit of hours of home care services provided, the family was still the primary support of daily life for people with disabilities. From the perspective of independent living for people with disabilities, these three services are all with strengths and limitations. However, for users, they just expect the service hours can meet their needs and the cost of services can be affordable. Furthermore, the users also look forward to being able to control their own life. How to reorganize these three service systems and provide more flexible and accountable services to the users, also, to build up a friendly working conditions for personal assistants, live-in migrant care workers and home care workers, it needs the efforts from state, service systems, service providers, and family of people with disabilities.
