Abstract:

The topic "Integration in the community of elderly people with mental disabilities" is an important topic forsocial assistance because at present there are relatively few opportunities for integration or social reintegration of people with mental health problems. If mental illness is treated in specialized institutions - clinics, hospitals and psychiatric wards - where patients receive specialized treatment and counseling, the same cannot be said about the actions of integration or social reintegration of those mentally affected at discharge from these units

Abstract:

People with disabilities have the same rights and obligations as citizens, but in everyday life, people with disabilities still experience discrimination. This is evidenced in statistical data on the education of children with disabilities, as many as 13.5 percent of people with disabilities have never been to school and 9.58 percent have stopped going to school. One of the factors that cause children to drop out of school is discriminatory behavior from their friends and online education which affects the mental health of the child. Therefore, researchers conducted a study on the mental health of children with disabilities at Al-Kaustar School, East Jakarta. This research with a qualitative approach aims to describe the efforts of teachers in maintaining the mental health of children with disabilities in order to increase their interest in learning, especially during a pandemic like today. The research methods that will be used include literature studies and interviews with teachers at the Al-Kaustar School. The results of the study implement that although there are special schools for people with disabilities and teachers who have high knowledge, it is still the mental health of children with disabilities that is the main key to their interest in learning. Penyandang disabilitas memiliki hak dan kewajiban yang sama dengan warga negara, tetapi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, penyandang disabilitas masih mengalami diskriminasi. Hal ini dibuktikan dalam data statistik pendidikan anak penyandang disabilitas, sebanyak 13,5 persen penyandang disabilitas belum pernah sekolah dan 9,58 persen berhenti sekolah. Salah satu faktor yang menyebabkan anak-anak putus sekolah adalah perilaku diskriminasi dari teman-teman sekitarnya dan pendidikan secara online yang memengaruhi kesehatan mental anak tersebut. Oleh karena itu, peneliti melakukan penelitian mengenai penanganan kesehatan mental anak penyandang disabilitas di Sekolah Al-Kaustar, Jakarta Timur. Penelitian dengan pendekatan kualitatif ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan upaya guru dalam menjaga kesehatan mental anak penyandang disabilitas guna meningkatkan minat belajar mereka, terutama di saat pandemi seperti saat ini. Metode penelitian yang akan digunakan meliputi studi literatur dan wawancara terhadap guru di Sekolah Al-Kaustar. Hasil kajian mengimplementasikan bahwa meskipun sudah ada sekolah khusus untuk penyandang disabilitas dan guru yang memiliki ilmu yang tinggi, tetap saja kesehatan mental anak penyandang disabilitas yang menjadi kunci utama minat mereka untuk belajar.

Abstract:

Orang dengan disabilitas adalah orang yang memiliki kemampuan berbeda baik fisik, mental, intelektual atau sensorik dalam jangka waktu lama. Orang dengan disabilitas secara sosial seringkali mengalami keterbatasan dalam memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya sebagai akibat dari persepsi dan sikap lingkungan sosial yang tidak tepat dalam berinteraksi dengan mereka. Sehingga peran serta orang dengan disabilitas seringkali diabaikan. Jumlah orang dengan disabilitas pada 9 provinsi di Indonesia sebanyak 299.203 jiwa, dan sekitar 67,33% disabilitas dewasa tidak memiliki keterampilan dan pekerjaan. Perusahaan melalui program corporate social responsibility dapat berperan dalam membantu meningkatkan aksesibilitas orang dengan disabilitas melalui peningkatan keterampilan kerja dan akses terhadap sumber-sumber penghidupan mereka. Lembaga Sinergi Foundation merupakan salah satu organisasi yang berupaya membantu memberdayakan orang dengan disabilitas (ODD). Tujuan dari program CSR dari Sinergi Foundation adalah agar ODD mampu memenuhid kebutuhan hidup secara mandiri, sehigga taraf hidup mereka meningkat secara sosial dan ekonomi. People with disabilities are people who have different abilities whether physical, mental, intellectual or sensory in the long term. People with social disabilities often experience limitations in meeting their needs as a result of perceptions and attitudes of social environment that are not appropriate in interacting with them. So the participation of people with disabilities is often ignored. The number of people with disabilities in 9 provinces in Indonesia is 299,203 people, and about 67.33% of adults with disabilities do not have skills and jobs. Companies through corporate social responsibility programs can play a role in helping to increase the accessibility of people with disabilities through improving work skills and access to their livelihoods. The Sinergi Foundation is an organization that seeks to help empower people with disabilities (ODD). The aim of the CSR program of the Sinergi Foundation is that ODD are able to fulfill their needs independently, so that their standard of living increases socially and economically.

Abstract:

Services for people with learning disabilities have been transformed since the late 1960s by the move from institutional to community care. (Learning disabilities is the term currently used in the UK in preference to mental retardation, developmental disabilities and mental handicap.) Important changes include the progress towards integration, participation, inclusion and choice for people with learning disabilities, which have occurred in the context of the broader civil and human rights movements. It is time to examine the services delivered to people with learning disabilities and comorbid psychiatric disorders (mental illness, personality disorders, behavioural problems with aggression) and the evidence for their effectiveness.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is threefold: to document the relationship between intellectual disability (ID) and psychopathology; to raise awareness of the ongoing lag in professional training for psychologists in the area of mental health treatment for people with intellectual disabilities; and, to provide recommendations for advancing professional education and, ultimately, adequate mental health treatment availability for people with intellectual disabilities. Design/methodology/approach – The paper reviews the literature on prevalence of mental health problems in people with intellectual disabilities. At the same time, the paper reviews the training of psychologists relative to the burgeoning growth in awareness of the mental health needs of people with intellectual disabilities. Findings – The paper concludes that ID is a significant risk factor for psychopathology. In addition, the paper concludes that the education of psychologists regarding the mental health needs of people with intellectual disabilities is insufficient. The authors document the need for incorporating research and treatment advances related to intellectual disabilities and mental health into to the professional training of psychologists. The paper also describe the potential this training holds for improving both the lives of people with intellectual disabilities and the overall competence of psychologists. Practical implications – This paper provides a literature-based rationale for the need to include education in the mental health needs of people with intellectual disabilities into the general training of mental health professionals. In addition, it provides specific recommendations for how such training can be incorporated into graduate psychology programs. Originality/value – This paper provides mental health professionals with a review of the growth in understanding of the enormous, unmet mental health needs of people intellectual disabilities, and of the critical role of ID in development of mental health problems. Moreover, this paper builds the case for an important revision in the training of psychologists to include competence in understanding and treating mental health problems across the full spectrum of intellectual functioning.

Abstract:

Women with disabilities are at increased risk of interpersonal violence compared to women without disabilities. Little is known, however, about women with disabilities’ experience accessing and participating in counseling and other mental health services during and following their victimization, particularly when living in a rural setting. This study involved qualitative interviews with 33 women with diverse disabilities who experienced interpersonal violence in rural communities. Researchers used thematic content analysis to identify three key themes from the findings: (a) experiences learning about mental health service options, (b) challenges to finding an appropriate “fit” and therapy approach, and (c) access barriers to mental health services. Participants emphasized the need for provider training specific to disability, the inclusion of people with disabilities more prominently in the mental health workforce, and the importance of advancements in accessible telemental health. We discuss implications for improving mental health services.

Abstract:

The article discusses the idea that children with movement disorders have great potential for motor and mental development. The experiment consists of two stages. In the first stage of the experiment, the characteristics of disability in children and adolescents (between age 12 and 16) with Infantile Cerebral Palsy are determined. During this stage, two diagnostic methods, bodily “Me” and “The Color-A-Person Body Dissatisfaction Test,” are used.In the second phase of the research program, social pedagogical aids for people with disabilities have been developed. On the basis of the experimental work, the obtained social pedagogical insights have been successfully implemented in the social adaption of disabled children.It is determined that this method is promising to help adults and children with mobility impairment to enhance their mental well-being, attain a positive body image, express their feelings freely, interact socially using a motor component, and above all—enjoy the movements. This method can ensure the effectiveness of social adaptation of persons with disabilities.

Abstract:

Disabilitas menjadi topik permasalahan yang serius periode belakangan ini, hal tersebut dikarenakan penyandang disabilitas rawan akan berbagai tindakan diskriminasi secara fisik maupun mental, bahkan difabel rentan menjadi korban pelecehan seksual dalam ruang lingkup keluarga ataupun non difabel. Para disabilitas menghadapi berbagai problematika dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Penyandang disabilitas seringkali di tolak dengan alasan keterbatasan mereka, bahkan ada beberapa yang menjadikan sehat jasmani dan rohani sebagai syarat utama untuk bisa mangakses bidang-bidang tertentu. Bahkan pelanggaran Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM) terhadap penyandang disabilitas masih dijumpai di lokasi sekitar. Kesenjangan yang diterima oleh penyandang disabilitas menjadi tekanan tersendiri bagi para difabel untuk memenuhi segala aspek kebutuhannya. Pemenuhan hak-hak disabilitas masih kurang diperhatikan, baik dalam sarana bangunan atau infastruktur, maupun fasilitas-fasilitas di tempat umum. Ketidaksetaraan juga terjadi dalam sektor pendidikan, lapangan pekerjaan, politik, dan aksesibilitas terhadap transportasi. Hal tersebut menunjukkan adanya perlakuan yang berbeda yang diterima oleh penyandang disabilitas terhadap layanan publik yang ramah bagi penyandang disabilitas.Disability has become a serious problem topic in recent times, this is because people with disabilities are prone to various acts of discrimination physically and mentally, even people with disabilities are vulnerable to being victims of sexual harassment within the family or non-disabled spheres. People with disabilities face various problems in their daily life. Persons with disabilities are often rejected on the grounds of their limitations, there are even some who make physically and mentally healthy as the main requirement to be able to access certain fields. Even human rights violations against persons with disabilities are still found in nearby locations. The gap that is accepted by people with disabilities is a separate pressure for people with disabilities to meet all aspects of their needs. Fulfillment of disability rights is still lacking in attention, both in building facilities or infrastructure, as well as facilities in public places. Inequality also exists in the sectors of education, employment, politics, and accessibility to transportation. This shows that there is a different treatment received by persons with disabilities towards public services that are friendly to persons with disabilities.

Abstract:

The existence of Persons with Disabilities with Diversity of Deafness and Mental Limitations is still often regarded as weak, helpless, unable to work and can even be said to be troublesome for others. With this assumption, a negative assessment emerges which causes some people with disabilities to feel inferior and lack self-confidence. When in fact they have skills that if developed will have a positive impact on them, for example to meet their needs. One of the efforts to improve the economic welfare of persons with disabilities is empowerment through community development of Batik Percik KSM. With this KSM, it will help people with disabilities to meet their daily needs. Persons with disabilities at this KSM will be given special training to create a product, namely batik percik. In the batik training, people with disabilities will be guided by the assistants at the Harapan Makmur KSM. Abstrak Keberadaan Penyandang Disabilitas dengan Ragam Tuna Rungu dan Keterbatasan mental ini masih sering dianggap sebagai kaum yang lemah, tidak berdaya, tidak bisa bekerja bahkan bisa hanya dikatakan menyusahkan orang lain. Dengan adanya anggapan tersebut muncul penilaian negatif yang mengakibatkan sebagian penyandang disabilitas ini merasa minder dan kurang percaya diri. Padahal sebenarnya mereka mempunyai keterampilan yang jika dikembangkan akan memberikan dampak yang positif bagi mereka misalnya untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya. Salah satu upaya untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan ekonomi penyandang disabilitas ini adalah pemberdayaan melalui community development KSM batik percik. Dengan adanya KSM ini akan sedikit membantu penyandang disabilitas tersebut untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya. Penyandang disabilitas pada KSM ini akan diberikan pelatihan secara khusus untuk menciptakan sebuah produk yakni batik percik. Dalam pelatihan membatik penyandang disabilitas akan dibimbing oleh para pendamping di KSM Harapan Makmur tersebut.

Abstract:

Constitutional Court of Indonesia in 2015 established Constitutional Court's DecisionNumber 135 / PUU-XIII / 2015 that revoked the provisions of Article 57 paragraph 3letter a of Indonesian Law Number 8 of 2015 concerning Amendment of Law Number 1concerning the Stipulation of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 1 of 2014which the substance prohibited person with disabilities for voting in election. Then, LawNumber 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections, which exclusively gave political rightsfor people with disabilities to implement their political rights.Qualifications for people with mental disabilities in elections of The ConstitutionalCourt decides that the phrase "mental disorders/ memory impairment" must beinterpreted as "experiencing mental illness and/ or permanent memory impairmentwhich according to mental health professionals, has abolished one's ability to vote inelections". It means that sufferers with mental disorders and/ or impermanent memoryimpairment must still be registered as voters and they have the opportunity to use theirvoting rights in elections.Equality of political rights for people with mental disorders (Orang Dengan GangguanJiwa (ODGJ)) in elections is very important because general election gives opportunity to increase participation and change public perception for the ability of people with disabilities. As the result, people with disabilities can have stronger political voice andthey are recognized more as equal citizens. Moreover, this research was in category ofnormative research with normative juridical approach. In conclusion, the equality ofpolitical rights for people with mental disorders (orang dengan gangguan jiwa(ODGJ)) in elections is very important because general election gives opportunity toincrease participation and change public perception for the ability of people withdisabilities. As the result, people with disabilities can have stronger political voice andthey are recognized more as equal citizens.

Abstract:

Normatively, the right to vote for persons with mental disabilities in elections was not fully recognized in Article 57 paragraph (3) of Law no. 8 of 2015. This law stipulates that one of the conditions for voters in elections is "not having mental/memory problems". This phrase interpreted broadly that all persons with mental disabilities are not entitled to the right to vote. This phrase was then tested by the Constitutional Court, whereupon the Constitutional Court issued Decision No. 135/PUU-VIII-2015 which substantially invalidates the phraselet's talkand granting the right to vote in general elections for persons with mental disabilities. This decision is considered a progressive leap taken by the Constitutional Court to ensure fair elections, because people with mental disabilities are not the same as people with schizophrenia, with a more humane approach and adequate medicine, people with mental disabilities are the same as people without mental disabilities. Therefore, the author is interested in seeing more deeply how this Constitutional Court Decision can fulfill the right to vote for persons with disabilities. This research is a type of non-doctrinal research that uses both primary and secondary data. The areas that are used as research objects are the provinces of Bali and DIY. The results of the study show that from a quantitative aspect there has been an increase in the participation of voters with mental disabilities. However, the implementation of the Constitutional Court's decision by the election organizers is also still encountering various obstacles, both administration, infrastructure, and services

Abstract:

AbstractAround the world, people with mental disabilities are subject to many types of behavioral therapies against their will, including medications and restraints. This is especially true of people who are institutionalized. These intrusions are in violation of fundamental international human rights principles. People with mental disabilities are often stripped of many of their basic rights, including the right to determine what is done to their bodies. This article compares the prevailing law on the right to refuse treatment for people with mental disabilities in an institutional setting in three different nations on three continents, specifically in the United States, Kenya, and Brazil.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assess the effects of compassion-focussed therapy (CFT) on anxiety in a small sample of adults with intellectual disability. Design/methodology/approach A mixed-methods design was employed. Participants (n=3) completed questionnaire measures of anxiety and self-compassion on three occasions: pre-intervention, post-intervention and, at three months follow-up. Post-intervention, they also took part in recorded interviews that were analysed using interpretive phenomenological analysis. Findings were then synthesised to develop a comprehensive understanding of their overall experience. Findings Final data synthesis revealed five themes: participant anxiety decreased (reliable for all participants); the faulty self; improved positive compassionate attitudes; increased sense of common humanity; and mindful distraction techniques. Research limitations/implications This research paper offers in-depth analysis of three participants’ experiences rather than reporting in less detail about a larger number of participants. The self-compassion scale required considerable support and reasonable adaptation to be used with these clients. Originality/value Only two other studies have explored the use of CFT with people with intellectual disabilities.

Two large groups of problems are distinguished - external and internal: social problems that impede the ability of young people with severe mental disabilities to choose a profession, and problems associated with the organization of career guidance activities themselves. It is noted that new opportunities for career guidance are currently opening up, as specialists shift the focus from the limitations of young people to their advantages and opportunities.

Abstract:

As more people with psychiatric disabilities seek postsecondary education opportunities to improve their employability and to eventually earn wages averaging higher than those without collegiate experience, institutions of higher education throughout the United States are seeing significant increases in the enrollments of this population. The State-Federal Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Services program continues to serve as a valuable resource for people with disabilities who attend colleges and universities across the nation. A hierarchical logistic regression analysis was used to determine the effectiveness of VR services for people with psychiatric disabilities who also received college and university training. The Rehabilitation Services Administration 911 database for fiscal year 2006 was used to identify nine services related to the successful closure of this group of consumers. Results are discussed in relation to their importance for rehabilitation counselors.

Abstract:

It is crucial that the process of reintegrating people with mental disabilities into the community following a hospital admission is effective to avoid repeated readmission. Importantly, comprehensive support in day-to-day and social life is required. Measures that have been implemented in this vain have led to an increase in the hospital discharge rate of people with mental disabilities. Sadly, though, there has not been a marked improvement in rates of inpatient numbers in mental health hospitals and, also, rates of readmission are on the rise. Dr Mayuko Yamashita is a researcher based at Jikei University School of Nursing in Japan whose work involves ensuring the complete integration of people with mental disabilities into society. 'To promote community transition and retention of people with mental disabilities, efforts are being implemented as national measures,' she clarifies. 'However, if the continuity of treatment and self-management is not ensured after remission because of the hospital treatment received, repeated admission and discharge due to acute exacerbation is inevitable and long-term improvement cannot be expected.

Abstract:

Purpose Services for people with intellectual disabilities in the UK have evolved over the years from hospital-based care to more community provision. There are multiple reasons for these changes, however, often it was due to changes in social policy or following a scandal in provision. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach Providing services to meet the health and social care needs of people with intellectual disabilities is well-established in the four countries of the UK with support from legislation. There are often specialist mental health and social care teams. Dedicated professionals work with people with intellectual disabilities who experience mental health problems with a focus on support in the community. A range of services for children and adults and for offenders exist across the UK that often vary in composition and structure. Findings The challenges in providing mental health services for children and adults with intellectual disabilities in the future include recruitment and training of the workforce with the remit of enhancing community support and reduced in-patient care. Practical implications This paper helps the reader to understand how ID mental health services are organised in the UK. Originality/value This paper gives a summary of the ID mental health services in the UK. Even though there are various papers looking at different aspects of mental health services for people with ID in the UK, this paper brings all that information together to help reader get a better understanding of the mental health services for people with ID.

Abstract:

ObjectivesTo investigate prevalence of mental health conditions, sensory impairments and physical disability in children, adults and older adults with co-occurring intellectual disabilities and autism, given its frequent co-occurrence, compared with the general population.DesignWhole country cohort study.SettingGeneral community.Participants5709 people with co-occurring intellectual disabilities and autism, compared with 5 289 694 other people.Outcome measuresRates and ORs with 95% CIs for mental health conditions, visual impairment, hearing impairment and physical disability in people with co-occurring intellectual disabilities and autism compared with other people, adjusted for age, sex and interaction between age and co-occurring intellectual disabilities and autism.ResultsAll four long-term conditions were markedly more common in children, adults and older adults with co-occurring intellectual disabilities and autism compared with other people. For mental health, OR=130.8 (95% CI 117.1 to 146.1); visual impairment OR=65.9 (95% CI 58.7 to 73.9); hearing impairment OR=22.0 (95% CI 19.2 to 25.2); and physical disability OR=157.5 (95% CI 144.6 to 171.7). These ratios are also greater than previously reported for people witheitherintellectual disabilitiesorautism rather than co-occurring intellectual disabilities and autism.ConclusionsWe have quantified the more than double disadvantage for people with co-occurring intellectual disabilities and autism, in terms of additional long-term health conditions. This may well impact on quality of life. It raises challenges for staff working with these people in view of additional complexity in assessments, diagnoses and interventions of additional health conditions, as sensory impairments and mental health conditions in particular, compound with the persons pre-existing communication and cognitive problems in this context. Planning is important, with staff being trained, equipped, resourced and prepared to address the challenge of working for people with these conditions.
