Texto completoThe final measure included 40 items and included two parts, the impact on family life and the impact on social life for siblings. The issues identified through the development of the Perceived Effect of Disability measure were then used to develop a pilot intervention that aimed to assist the positive adjustment of teenage siblings. The result was a 6-week program, consisting of 90-minute groups covering Sharing My Story, Exploring Differences and Disabilities, Exploring and Communicating Feelings, Coping Skills I, Coping Skills II and Finding Meaning. The impact of the program was piloted with two groups, consisting of 16 teenage siblings (aged 12-17 years). A matched comparison sample was also used to determine if the intervention resulted in improved perceptions of the effect of disability on siblings using the Perceived Effect of Disability (PED) subscales. There was no significant interaction between time and group on any of the PED subscales. A main effect was found for time on the Lack of Time With Others subscale only. The non-significant time x group interaction, however, indicates that the main effect of time on Lack of Time With Others scores applied to both groups. There was no significant change in family functioning or self-esteem from pre to post-test for the intervention group. However, extensive qualitative data provided strong support for the importance of such an intervention for this unique group of individuals in our community.

Texto completoThis study utilized a quality of life framework of psychosocial adaptation to explore relationships among college stress, functional limitations, coping strategies, and perceived social suport in adjustment to college among first-year and second-year undergraduate students with disabilities, based on specific hypothesized relations. College adjustment outcomes included: life satisfaction, academic performance, and psychosocial-emotional adjustment to college.
A nonprobability sample of 103 first-year and second-year undergraduate college students with disabilities participated in the study. Respondents were registered with an office of support services for students with disabilities at a public, four-year university, located in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Respondents were recruited by responding to an e-mail requesting participation in an online, web-based survey.
Eight self-report measures included: (a) Participant Survey (developed by the researcher to collect socio-demographic information, (b) College Stress Inventory (CSI; Solberg, Hale, Villarreal, & Kavanagh, 1993), (c) Disability Functional Limitations Scale (DFLS) (developed by the researcher), (d) Brief COPE; Carver, 1997, (e) Social Support Appraisals-Revised (SSA-R) scale; Vaux et al., 1986), (f) Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS; Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985), (g) Grade Point Average-Scale (GPA-S; adapted by the researcher from a self-reported grading scale), and (h) Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (SACQ; Baker & Siryk, 1999).
Data were analyzed using descriptive and correlational procedures. Bivariate analysis suggested that all predictor variables (i.e., college stress, functional limitations, engagement coping, and perceived social support) were significantly associated with student adjustment to college. Hierarchical multiple regression suggested mostly direct (i.e., main) effects for engagement coping and perceived social support. No interacting role for either engagement-type coping or perceived social support was suggested, except for the following: Engagement-type coping moderated the relationship between disability-related functional limitations (as measured by increased restrictions in the ability to perform daily routines, activites, and life roles) and adaptation to college, as measured by life satisfaction. Analyses of socio-demographic variables revealed significant associations between chronological age, gender, hours employed, and adjustment to college. Lastly, hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed disengagment coping accounting for as much as 53% of the variance in adjustment scores. This result suggested disengagement coping adding significant predictive utility for adaptation-associated college adjustment.
In light of these findings, counseling professionals may wish to consider the beneficial role of engagement coping in promoting optimal adjustment to college for lower-division undergraduate students with disabilities.

Resumo: Foram investigadas relações entre senso de ajustamento psicológico, perspectiva de velhice e satisfação com a vida em adultos e idosos com deficiência física. Materiais e Método: Participaram 90 pessoas, de ambos os sexos, com idade entre 25 e 84 anos (M = 42,49 anos + 12,27), que responderam aos instrumentos: Questionários sociodemografico, sobre a deficiência física, o grau de incapacidade e as estratégias de manejo; Inventário Sheppard de Atitudes em Relação à Velhice Pessoal; escalas de satisfação global referenciada a domínios e a critérios temporais e de comparação social; Escala de Desenvolvimento Pessoal (ajustamento psicológico). Resultados: A maioria relatou incapacidade moderada para o desempenho de atividades cotidianas, necessidade de ajuda, principalmente de familiares, e uso de estratégias compensatórias. As mulheres apresentaram mais dificuldades para realizar atividades cotidianas e mais necessidade de ajuda. Os idosos apresentaram mais dificuldades para tarefas domésticas. Os índices de ajustamento pessoal foram de moderados a altos, mas as mulheres pontuaram mais baixo. Para toda a amostra, quanto maior o senso de ajustamento, mais positiva a perspectiva de velhice pessoal. Os escores de satisfação foram altos na presença de todos os critérios. Os mais novos, mais independentes e mais ajustados eram os mais satisfeitos. Os com deficiência congênita e os mais ajustados psicologicamente mostraram perspectivas mais positivas de velhice pessoal. Conclusão: Envelhecer com uma deficiência física é um processo que exige competência adaptativa e resiliência frente aos eventos de vida e aos desafios acarretados pela deficiência
Abstract: We carried out an investigation to analyze the relationships between perceived psychological adjustment, perspective of personal aging and life satisfaction in adult and aged people with physical disability. Materials and Method: 90 participants, both genders, aged 25 to 84 (M = 42,49 + 12,27), answered questionnaires asking for information on socio demographic characteristics, impairment, degree of disability and behavioral efforts to manage disability; the Sheppard Inventory of attitudes toward own aging; measures of global life satisfaction and satisfaction with physical and mental health, physical and mental ability and social involvement, all them referenced to temporal and social comparison criteria, and a scale assessing perceived psychological adjustment. Results: The majority of the participants reported moderate disability affecting their independence and determining necessity of help, usually from the family. The majority reported the adoption of compensatory strategies. The women reported more difficulty to accomplish daily activities, as well as the oldest to perform domestic tasks, and both reported more demand for help. The indexes of personal adjustment were moderate and high. The women had the lowest scores. There were observed positive correlations between positive psychological adjustment and positive attitudes toward own aging. The satisfaction scores were high in the presence of all of the criteria. The youngest and the more independent were the ones who reported more life satisfaction. Those that had congenital disability and reported higher psychological adjustment showed more positive perspectives of personal aging. Conclusion: Aging with physical disability is a complex process that demands adaptive competence, and resilience to cope with life events and the personal, social and environmental challenges produced by disability

Texto completoThe overall purpose of this study is to illuminate the changeover process experienced by individuals who as adults acquired a traumatic brain injury (TBI), to increase the knowledge and the understanding of this process, and describe the meaning of support in every day life.
Persons who acquired a TBI as adults were administered a semi-structured interview covering six areas: consequences of TBI, family and social networks, working life and occupation, life-changes, support from society and everyday life. The interviews were qualitative and in-depth. A total of 15 informants participated, aged between 19-53 years when injured. Data were structured and underwent two phases of analysis. In the first phase, data underwent latent content analysis, underpinned by a hermeneutic approach, and in the subsequent phase, reanalysed within a framework derived from the theory of social recognition.
Findings from the first phase of inductive analysis elicited key themes: (i) the meaning of care, a question of formal and/or informal support; (ii) the meaning of action, a question of activity versus inactivity; (iii) autonomy, a question of dependence versus independence; (iv) social interaction, a question of encounter and/or treatment; (v) the theme of changes, a question of process versus stagnation; and (vi) emotions, an oscillation between hope versus hopelessness. After the construction of the six themes each of them were, through a discursive analysis, connected with theories, earlier studies in the field of brain injuries and important interview quotations from the empirical material. During this phase, an interest developed to study the material from a new theoretical point of view. The second phase of analysis therefore involved the development of a framework derived from Honneth’s (1995) theory of social recognition. The central construct of ‘recognition’ was analysed from three different dimensions proposed by Honneth: the individual dimension, the legal dimension, the value dimension. Using this framework, the data were reanalysed. The scientific term for this process of re-contextualisation and re-description of data is abduction inference.
Reported consequences were negative as well as positive. Significant others (e.g. next of kin) had an important function as a driving force for training and preparation for life-situation after injury. A majority of the informants were satisfied with support from society, such as hospital-care, rehabilitation and community support. Such support, initially, proceeded without problems but as time passed, the responsibility shifted to the person with TBI to take the initiative in arranging longer-term services. Long-term support which addresses physical, cognitive as well as psychosocial consequences of the TBI is important for outcomes. The majority of the informants had difficulties in returning to working life after the injury. The outcomes and recovery seemed to be a prolonged process, probably never ending, but which gradually over time becomes integrated as a part of life. The informants gave varying accounts of the extent to which they experienced social recognition.

Due to a rising interest for degrees in higher education, more students with disabilities have enrolled in the university system. Still, accessibility issues on campuses suggest institutions are not meeting the needs of students in the classroom or through curricula. This study examines current academic adjustments and the lived experiences of students with disabilities in order to understand the ableist Othering phenomenon in higher education. Qualitative research methods have been commonly used to investigate the “disabled voice”; however, triangulation of such methodologies has been criticized for reinforcing Otherness. This study used a phenomenological design implementing rhetorical agency for disabled students to answer open-ended questions in semi-structured interviews about their lived experiences. Consequently, such interviews created a platform for social change. The author also reflects on his own lived experiences as a deaf student in higher education. Findings include major themes such as a percolation of institutional hegemony, a re-appropriation of stigma through “voice,” and a call for inclusive strategies. Results indicate disabled students experience discrimination likely due to organizational tension in their university institution. Further, this study elaborates on proposed policy changes to college classrooms on large university campuses. Contributions of this study lie in implications for the future of qualitative inquiry, including how current research practices could undergo methodological reinvention to examine the ableist Othering phenomenon.

Texto completoSomewhat unexpectedly, the quantitative results suggest that increased common coping might be associated with greater anxiety in individuals with albinism. To explain this finding, several hypotheses were proposed regarding the transmission of parental values, attitudes and ableist norms, as well as the perception both partners in the dyad have of albinism: to what extent is it perceived as a disease?This thesis represents one of the first comprehensive accounts of the lived experience of albinism in France, based on extensive data collection, albeit constrained by the sample size. These findings underscore the importance of adopting a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to ensure that individuals with albinism and their families receive support tailored to their needs

The purposes of this study are to investigate the work performance, work adjustment, social skills, communication skills, and dilemma of intellectual disabilities in hospitality industry. In addition, present research found some difficulties and external supports while intellectual disabilities work in hospitality industry. The present study utilized in-depth interviews and non-participant observation as the research methodology. The sample of present study is twofold both from the intellectual disability, colleague and their supervisor. On the other hand, to check the accuracy and the validity present study also wrote down the diary while doing the non-participant observation. The results of present research found some interesting phenomenon. First of all, we found that the intellectual disabilities have basic level of understanding in work knowledge, familiarity while dealing with customer expectation, maintaining the customer satisfaction, try to accept any suggestion, and willing to obey with the working rules. Secondly, they had a high work performance, responsible with their work, be able to afford any difficulties that happened in the working place, and had the enthusiasm for serving the customer. Beside some positive behavior that discussed above, there are some difficulties was found, includes self-mood management question, lack of self-confidence, insufficient, can't afford all the work load. Also, they had problem with work speed, weighs of self-ability, time management, those problem will influence the work efficiency and security problem in the workplace. But, through the internal and external support it will motivate the intellectual disability that work in hospitality industry to increase their potential. Finally, based on the results of this research, present study intend to give some specific suggestions to future research direction. Also, this study can be the reference for future research which related with this issue.

The purpose of this study was to delve into the employment process of individuals with learning disability. The study aimed at finding out what predicaments those people faced in the work adjustment process, and how they resolved them. This study adopted case study and applied purposive sampling method based on people who had performance characteristics of learning disabilities. The researcher invited 3 adults with learning disability from northern, central and southern regions of Taiwan. All of the participants were employed, and had at least 2-year work seniority. Because of the need for the saturation of data collection, the researcher also interviewed the significant others of the participants, such as their parents, lovers, or working partners. Data were mainly collected from face to face interviews and supplemented by telephone interviews, file records, observation, retrospective diaries and/or other ways. The major findings of this study comprised of two parts- “the employment process of individuals with learning disability “and “the work adjustment of individuals with learning disability “. First, the personal characteristics of participants and the environmental support affected their learning speed and work adjustment. When the participants chose their careers, they took their strength/weakness, interest and significant others’ advise into account. Second, the participants’ learning constraints also played a critical role in their work adjustment difficulties. For example, the participants had to tackle the dilemmas brought by their Dyslexia or Dysgraphia. Lastly, the participants adopted diverse resolution strategies according to individual needs and the environment support. They chose one or multiple tactics from the following resolution strategies: (a) reducing opportunities for contact; (b) practicing a lot; (c) seeking help; and (d) developing substitute strategies. Based on this study, the researcher make recommendations for individuals with learning disability, their families, and the counselors. The recommendations included (a) finding out the characteristics and the strength of individuals with learning disability as soon as possible; (b) training the individuals for problem-solving ability; (c) offering individuals with learning disability sufficient support. Moreover, the researcher make recommendations for future research directions.

Employment adjustment is one of the major issues to assist people with psychiatric disability to work, yet was rarely studied in the literature. This study adopted document analysis and interviews with the employment service professionals and supervisor to analyze the demographic factors, placement characteristics, and employment adjustment of 98 individuals with psychiatric disabilities who received the Community Employment Service for the Handicapped programs funded by the Bureau of Employment and Vocational Training and the County Municipal Government and provided by four of the Friends of Mental Recovery Association and Mental Rehabilitation Associations in Southern Taiwan between 2004 and 2005. Most of the 98 individuals with psychiatric disabilities who received community employment services and included in this study were male, resided in young adulthood, and 79.6% were single. The average education was mostly high school level (62.2%). Schizophrenia was the most frequent diagnosis (77.6%), followed by major affective disorders (22.4%). Most of them (58.6%) reported to have had psychiatric illnesses between ten to twenty years, and 73.4% could visit doctor each month and take medication regularly. Supported employment was the major type of the placement of these individuals. Successful placement by one time accounted for 64.3%. Still, a small group of people needed 4-5 times to achieve successful placement. The job tenure became shorter if the number of times of placement increased. Most of their job tenure persisted less than 3 months. The work nature was mainly labor and simply duplicated jobs (janitors, operators, assistants). The average of working hours was 40-49 hours per week in majority. Among the 41 individuals who were still at work by the time of this study conducted, 65.8% had salary below $18,000 per month, and 33.8% below the Basic Wage by law requirement. The individuals with stable employment satisfied with their job. 90% of them expressed they love their job. 80% of them had basic etiquette and interpersonal interaction skill. They also obtained positive support and responses from employers and workmates. This study discovered the main reasons of leaving a job were temporary job in nature, lack of skills to meet the quantity and quality requirements set by employers, and problems of communication in workplace. The factors of employment stabilization could be classified into individual, family, work place, and social environment factors. This study also investigated the relationship between the basic characteristics and employment. According to statistical analysis result, there were two significant differences between those individuals with stable employment and those who were not: one was their medication adherence, and the other was duration of illness.

Employment adjustment is one of the major issues to assist people with psychiatric disability to work, yet was rarely studied in the literature. This study adopted document analysis and interviews with the employment service professionals and supervisor to analyze the demographic factors, placement characteristics, and employment adjustment of 98 individuals with psychiatric disabilities who received the Community Employment Service for the Handicapped programs funded by the Bureau of Employment and Vocational Training and the County Municipal Government and provided by four of the Friends of Mental Recovery Association and Mental Rehabilitation Associations in Southern Taiwan between 2004 and 2005. Most of the 98 individuals with psychiatric disabilities who received community employment services and included in this study were male, resided in young adulthood, and 79.6% were single. The average education was mostly high school level (62.2%). Schizophrenia was the most frequent diagnosis (77.6%), followed by major affective disorders (22.4%). Most of them (58.6%) reported to have had psychiatric illnesses between ten to twenty years, and 73.4% could visit doctor each month and take medication regularly. Supported employment was the major type of the placement of these individuals. Successful placement by one time accounted for 64.3%. Still, a small group of people needed 4-5 times to achieve successful placement. The job tenure became shorter if the number of times of placement increased. Most of their job tenure persisted less than 3 months. The work nature was mainly labor and simply duplicated jobs (janitors, operators, assistants). The average of working hours was 40-49 hours per week in majority. Among the 41 individuals who were still at work by the time of this study conducted, 65.8% had salary below $18,000 per month, and 33.8% below the Basic Wage by law requirement. The individuals with stable employment satisfied with their job. 90% of them expressed they love their job. 80% of them had basic etiquette and interpersonal interaction skill. They also obtained positive support and responses from employers and workmates. This study discovered the main reasons of leaving a job were temporary job in nature, lack of skills to meet the quantity and quality requirements set by employers, and problems of communication in workplace. The factors of employment stabilization could be classified into individual, family, work place, and social environment factors. This study also investigated the relationship between the basic characteristics and employment. According to statistical analysis result, there were two significant differences between those individuals with stable employment and those who were not: one was their medication adherence, and the other was duration of illness. Other variables yielded no significant difference between these two groups. . Finally, according to the study results, several recommendations are proposed to promote employment stability and future service for the people with psychiatric disabilities.
