Full textAbstract:
This study is to describe the role of parents in promoting the physical activity of adolescents with disabilities and to describe their perceptions of participation. This study used a qualitative descriptive design. Sample procedure using convenience sampling. A total of 28 parents of youth with disabilities aged twelve - sixteen years. Data analysis used content analysis, with the development of inductive categories using Nvivo 11 software. For eight weeks, data were collected from January to February 2020. All samples explained how many challenges involved participating in physical activities of adolescents with disabilities. After all, parents would like to see their children participating in more physical activity, but consider the promotion of physical activity to be a very demanding task that is difficult to handle alone. The finding is that the promotion of physical activity habits among adolescents with disabilities needs to be prioritized, that the support provided needs to be tailored to the needs of adolescents and their families as well as collaborative efforts and support from all partiesKeywords: adolescent, physical activity, parents, persons with disabilities

Full textAbstract:
Self-disclosure is an important aspect of adolescent social development, but for adolescents with physical disabilities, the dynamics influencing self-disclosure may differ from those of typically developing adolescents. The research question in this study is how the dynamics of self-disclosure manifest in adolescents with physical disabilities living in the YPAC Surakarta dormitory. The aim of this study is to understand the dynamics that influence self-disclosure in adolescents with physical disabilities at the Yayasan Pembinaan Anak Cacat (YPAC) Surakarta. The study employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological framework, using semi-structured interviews as the data collection instrument. The study participants are adolescents aged 15 to 18 who have physical disabilities and have lived in the YPAC Surakarta dormitory for more than 6 months. The findings indicate that self-disclosure among adolescents with physical disabilities is influenced by several dynamics, including trust, emotional closeness, conversational context relevance, and personality. Trust is the primary dynamic that enables adolescents to share personal information, while emotional closeness and the relevance of the conversation context further facilitate self-disclosure. Introverted personalities tend to maintain privacy. In conclusion, self-disclosure among adolescents with physical disabilities is significantly influenced by the interaction between internal and external dynamics, and understanding these dynamics is crucial in creating a social environment that supports communication and their psychological well-being.

Full textAbstract:
Sexual and physical abuse can have chronic and debilitating effects on adolescents. Very little is known about the prevalence and frequency of sexual and physical abuse among adolescents with behavioral disorders, yet this information would seem to be critical if appropriate educational programs for these adolescents are to be developed. The Student Questionnaire was sent to 82 adolescents with behavioral disorders and 70 adolescents without disabilities to solicit information on the prevalence, frequency, and conditions associated with sexual and physical abuse among these adolescents. There were significant differences between the adolescents with behavioral disorders and the adolescents without disabilities in the prevalence, frequency, and conditions of sexual and physical abuse. The prevalence of sexual abuse was highest among the adolescent females with behavioral disorders. While the adolescents with behavioral disorders reported higher frequencies of sexual and physical abuse than the adolescents without disabilities, the latter group also indicated problems in both of these areas. As a result of the study, educational recommendations are generated which address the needs demonstrated by the adolescents who have been sexually or physically abused.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses the significance of adolescent depression and anxiety issues and their threat to global public health. With the development of society, the age of onset for mental health disorders in adolescents has become younger. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 20% of adolescents worldwide are affected by mental disorders, including depression and anxiety. These disorders not only limit adolescents' participation in social activities but also hinder their physical and mental health growth. Therefore, this article focuses on several approaches to addressing adolescent mental health issues, including antidepressant medications, AI-assisted wearable devices, animal-assisted therapy, and prevention programs. The article emphasizes the importance of addressing these issues during adolescence to prevent future diseases and disabilities, and presents a variety of solutions aimed at improving adolescent mental health through comprehensive treatment methods and preventive measures.

The purpose of this exploratory study was to inquire about the childhood and adolescent social and recreational experiences of adult males having congenital orthopedic disabilities, those having acquired orthopedic disabilities, and those who were able-bodied. An interview method using a prepared questionnaire was employed to collect data from 173 men, of whom 53 had congenital disabilities, 60 had acquired disabilities, and 60 were able-bodied. They ranged in age from 20 to 40 years. The analyses, using the chi-square statistic at p = .001, revealed that men with congenital disabilities differed from each of the other two groups with respect to memories of childhood social and recreational opportunities. They recalled having had more or about the same number of childhood opportunities to play with friends, be involved in active games and in outdoor activities, and play at friends’ homes. Subjects with congenital disabilities, in contrast to the others, also recalled as adolescents having had more or about the same number of opportunities to participate in active games and go to friends’ homes.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Subjective well-being is vital for individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities to possess because it affects their future life development. Adolescents with physical disabilities are one of the groups considered to have low levels of Subjective Well Being. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 139 female adolescents with disability in Indonesia. The data were collected by directly interviewing the students based on the questionnaire guide and reviewing the participant information through secondary data. The data collection instruments cover the socio-demographic data questionnaire and Satisfaction with Life Scale. Results: The majority of the female adolescent with disability satisfy with their life (70.5%). Their satisfaction was associated with their family type and their age (p < 0.05), but not associated with age, parent occupation and their grade (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Students from nuclear family seems to have better support to the disabled adolescent, so that they have better lafe satisfaction compared to their peer living in an extended family.

The purpose was to examine predictors of social physique anxiety (SPA) in adolescent swimmers with physical disabilities. Participants were 57 swimmers (27 females, 30 males, ages 16-19, M = 16.2) with various physical disabilities. A three-way ANOVA revealed significant differences in SPA between countries and among disabilities but not gender. Stepwise multiple regression results indicated that self-esteem and the self-identity subscale of the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS) were the best predictors of SPA but that gender, country, and type of disability were not significant.

Full textAbstract:
Evidence suggests that adolescent males take part in more moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) than females, and that adolescents with disabilities participate in even less. Public health data are typically based on the international physical activity (PA) recommendations of at least 60 minutes of MVPA daily. However, it appears that data are lost because a person who reports MVPA 0–6 days a week is grouped together and is considered as ‘inactive’. Therefore, the purposes of this study were to report differences among adolescents with and without disabilities who were ‘active’ and ‘inactive’ and to explore differences by sex. A complete enumeration study (2017 School Health Promotion Survey; n = 128,803) of Finnish adolescents aged between 14–19 years old was conducted. The single item self-report MVPA was used with items from the Washington Group on Disability Statistics. Data were grouped into physiological and cognitive disabilities and were split into active and inactive adolescents based on the PA recommendations; subsequently, binary logistic regression analyses were performed. Data from the inactive participants were analyzed with multivariate analysis of covariance and effect sizes were reported. Approximately 10% of males and 17% of females reported disabilities. There were fewer adolescents with disabilities who took part in daily PA (OR = 0.90, CI = 0.85–0.94), especially among those with cognitive disabilities (OR = 0.86, CI = 0.82–0.91). There were more active male than female adolescents (OR = 1.48, CI = 1.43–1.52). Of the inactive adolescents, females reported similar MVPA to males, with and without disabilities after controlling for age, school type, and family financial situation. Inactive adolescents with walking difficulties reported the least amount of MVPA (males; mean = 2.24, CI = 2.03–2.44, females; mean = 2.18, CI = 1.99–2.37). The difference in means with adolescents without disabilities according to Cohen’s d effect size was medium for males (0.56) and females (0.58). The effect sizes from all other groups of disabilities were small. The difference in PA between males and females has diminished among the inactive groups, yet there is still a need to improve the gap between males and females, especially for those who meet the PA recommendations. More strategies are needed to improve MVPA among adolescents with disabilities, especially those with cognitive disabilities.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the associations between minor women’ (girls’) disability status and victimization via minor sex trafficking. Design/methodology/approach This investigation used data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, a large, nationally-representative sample of in-school adolescents in the USA that began in 1994. The analysis included bivariate associations between physical disability status or low cognitive ability and minor sex trafficking among female survey respondents (n = 5,430). Findings Girls with any disability had a higher prevalence of minor sex trafficking than their peers without disabilities. Odds of minor sex trafficking were significantly higher for those with severe physical disabilities (5.83) and for those with low cognitive abilities (4.86) compared to the odds of their peers without their respective disabilities. Results for girls with mild or moderate physical disabilities were not statistically significant compared to peers without disabilities. Social implications These nationally-representative survey data reinforce the trends present in smaller populations and case study research: female adolescents with disabilities are at a heightened risk for sex trafficking. On both a national and global scale, the human rights gaps in policy and practice must be addressed to adequately reach, intervene and protect this vulnerable population. Originality/value Research about minor sex trafficking typically relies on small-scale surveys and/or convenience samples. This study used a nationally-representative survey to demonstrate the link between disability status and women’s experiences with minor sex trafficking.

Full textAbstract:
Background/Aims Problems related to sexual health can have adverse effects on the overall health of adolescent girls, including those living with a physical disability. Improving sexual and reproductive health knowledge among this population can enable them to make informed decisions in relation to their sexual health. However, the sociodemographic characteristics that influence knowledge in this population have not been explored. This study investigated the influence of sociodemographic characteristics on the sexual and reproductive health knowledge of adolescent girls living with physical disabilities in Kiambu County, Kenya. Methods A cross-sectional mixed method study was conducted among 144 purposively selected adolescent girls aged 10–19 years old living with physical disabilities. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to gather data on participants' sociodemographic characteristics and their sexual and reproductive health knowledge. Odds ratios and logistic regression was used to analyse the data. Results One in five (20.8%) of the participants had already had a sexual experience, and only 24.3% of participants had good sexual and reproductive health knowledge. The majority of the participants (54.9%) had low socioeconomic status, which was the only factor significantly associated with level of knowledge (odds ratio=4.91, P=0.021). Conclusions Socioeconomic status is a major determinant of sexual and reproductive health knowledge among adolescent girls living with disabilities. Measures must be put in place to economically empower the families of these girls, to facilitate improved knowledge and thus ensure their sexual health and wellbeing. Implications for practice Education interventions are needed that are tailored to adolescent girls living with disabilities to promote reproductive health in this population.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the validity and reliability of the Short-Term Assessment of Risk and Treatability: Adolescent Version (START:AV) to determine if it has predictive accuracy in relation to physical aggression, severe verbal aggression, property damage and self-harm, in a medium secure setting. In addition, the authors hoped to provide some of the first descriptive data available for the START:AV among a UK adolescent population in a medium secure adolescent unit. Design/methodology/approach The sample consisted of 90 female and male adolescents, with and without developmental disabilities. It was important to explore the measure’s predictive accuracy across specific population groups, such as between males and females, as well as those with developmental disabilities, and those without. Findings Some significant relationships were found between the START:AV and adverse outcomes. For instance, total strength and vulnerability scores were predictive for verbal and physical aggression. Differences in predictive validity were evident when comparisons were made between males and females, with relationships being evident amongst the male population only. When splitting the male sample into developmental disability and non-developmental disability groups, significant relationships were found between strength and vulnerability scores and verbal and physical aggression. Practical implications A number of practical implications are considered, such as the START:AV is relevant for use with adolescents in hospital settings and the significant inverse relationship between strength scores and negative outcomes supports the importance of considering protective/strength factors when working with at risk youths. Originality/value There is currently limited validation data for the START:AV in the UK or elsewhere.

This initial, exploratory study examined the role of racial bias in the use of physical restraint with adolescents with behavioral disabilities. Thirteen months of critical incident data from a residential, rehabilitation counseling agency serving adolescent males was examined to compare the number of physical restraints involving black and white clients and black and white staff. Results indicated the presence of racial bias in that black clients were restrained significantly more often than white clients. Implications for rehabilitation counselors and directions for future research are discussed.

Adolescents with physical disabilities also undergo a transitional period during adolescence, requiring assistance to achieve emotional maturity appropriate for their age. This necessitates support from the immediate environment, which can be obtained through parents. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between parental attachment and emotional maturity in adolescents with physical disabilities. The participants in this study were 56 adolescents with physical disabilities in the city of Salatiga, aged between 11 and 20 years. The sampling technique used in this study was snowball sampling. Data collection utilized the Inventory of Parent Attachment, consisting of sections on attachment to the mother and attachment to the father, and the second scale employed the Emotional Maturity Scale (EMS). The results of this study indicate a significant positive relationship between attachment to parents and emotional maturity, with a correlation of r = 0.452 and significance of 0.000 (p<0.05). This means that the higher the level of secure attachment to parents, the higher the emotional maturity in adolescents with physical disabilities. The findings of this study can be used to develop interventions for specialized educational institutions for individuals with disabilities and serve as a reference for readers.

: The physical, psychological, and social benefits of sports participation in adolescents have been well reported in the able-bodied population. However, those with physical disabilities encounter many barriers to participating in sports, which limits access to these benefits. Additionally, due to their disabilities, these individuals are often not viewed as athletes by the general population and therefore may not identify as one themselves. : Our study seeks to use qualitative research techniques to identify the themes influencing adolescents’ participation in sled hockey and determine their identity as athletes. : Cross-sectional qualitative interview. Our IRB approved study recruited athletes at sled hockey practices and tournaments where interviews were moderated and transcribed. Transcriptions were coded according to common themes mapped in Figure 1. : We surveyed 19 youth sled hockey players (range 10-24 years old, mean 15.3) with multiple physical disabilities, the most common diagnosis being spina bifida (14) (Table 1). Our qualitative analysis identified the most prevalent themes that influence participation in adaptive sports to be: social factors, intrapersonal factors, motivators to start sport, access, physical and mental health, and athletic identity (Figure 1). Initial motivators to start involvement included encouragement from parents, role models, adapted sports organizations, healthcare providers or personal interest in the sport itself. Despite the perceived medical and financial barriers, support from teammates and funding assistance in purchasing equipment facilitated continued involvement. Our population also reported many perceived benefits to continued participation in adaptive sports, each reporting “having fun” while playing a sport they “love”. Other benefits were connecting with friends of similar disabilities and capabilities, who encourage them, serve as role models, and make them feel included. Furthermore, the mentorship the coaches provide, pushing the athletes to achieve, creates an atmosphere of competitiveness and a feeling of physical and mental wellbeing. Ultimately, this competitive environment allows for formation of an athletic identity, reported by 18 out of the 19 interviewees. : Despite encountering barriers to participating in a team sport that requires expensive equipment and travel and negotiating the limitations of physical disabilities requiring frequent medical procedures and time away from sport, the overpowering benefits of participation allow majority of our adolescent population to thrive and to identify as athletes. Among the main facilitators to continued involvement are mentorship and support from coaches and parents, comradery and competition, all which lead to physical and mental wellbeing and feeling of inclusiveness and accomplishment.

Background: Adolescent disability conditions encompass a variety of physical, cognitive, or sensory impairments that affect individuals between ages 10 and 19 years. These conditions can significantly impact educational, social, and emotional development during a critical phase of life. Adequate support, accessibility, and awareness are essential to ensure that adolescents with disabilities can thrive and fulfill their potential. Objective: To assess the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) in adolescents with disabilities Methodology: A School-based cross-sectional descriptive study was done among adolescents with disabilities attending special schools in district Dehradun. Simple random sampling was used as sampling technique. The study measured Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) through Barthel Index. The data was entered in MS Excel and imported to SPSS software version 22 for analysis. Result: A total of 142 study participants were selected for the study, with a mean (standard deviation) age of 14.32 years (± 0.20). 93% of the study subjects had a disability since birth (congenital). 42.3% of study participants had a Moderate dependence level. Conclusion: In conclusion, in this study of 142 participants, the prevalence of congenital disabilities among adolescents was high, and a substantial number demonstrated a moderate level of dependence, emphasizing the importance of tailored interventions for this population.

In the victimization literature, a significant association has been consistently observed between disability and the victimization of children and adolescents. It is largely unknown, however, whether individuals with disabilities continue to suffer from a heightened risk of violent victimization when they reach young adulthood and adulthood. In addition, despite the close nexus between victimization and perpetration, prior studies have generally failed to control for violent acts perpetrated by individuals with disabilities. This study addresses these issues by drawing on the panel design nature of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. The results show that although physical disability is not linked to victimization risk, learning disability is significantly associated with an elevated risk of violent victimization.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined the existence and nature of dispositional goal orientations and perceived reasons for sport success among adolescent disabled athletes. Also, the interdependence between personal goals and views about the determinants of sport achievement was determined. Fifty-nine athletes with physical disabilities completed the 13-item Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire specific to wheelchair basketball and a 21-item questionnaire concerning beliefs about the causes of sport success. Factor analyses revealed two distinct goal-belief dimensions. The first dimension indicated that task orientation was associated with the views that practice, exerted effort, and external factors lead to success. The second dimension suggested that ego orientation was coupled with the beliefs that ability, chance, taking an illegal advantage, or all three result in accomplishment in sport. The present findings are contrasted with previous classroom research and studies of able-bodied sport participants, and their implications for the understanding of motivation are provided.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose of the study: This study examined the role of teaching styles on self-regulation among adolescents with physical disabilities and moderating effects of age on the relationship between teaching styles and self-regulation.
 Methodology: 150 students from Islamabad and Rawalpindi divisions were included in this study. Adolescent Self-Regulatory Inventory (Moilanen,2007) and Junior High School Teaching Styles Questionnaire (Chen,2008) was used to assess teaching styles and self-regulation. A purposive-convenient sampling technique was used, and SPSS 22 was used for data analysis.
 Main Findings: The results demonstrated that the democratic teaching style was the most perceived teaching style among adolescents with a physical disability. It was found that teaching styles predicts self-regulation significantly with (β = .24, R2 = .05) and p < .001. Democratic teaching style had a significant relationship with long-term self-regulation. Age played a moderator role between teaching style and self-regulation with (β= -.16, R2=.09) and p < .01 among adolescents with a physical disability.
 Applications of this study: Results of the study will be helpful in the rehabilitation of this marginalized part of society and helps teachers to understand that how their style could affect the personality development of special students.
 Novelty/Originality of this study: There is a need to study the handicapped population, their problems, and opportunities for their rehabilitation, especially in Pakistan. As the needs of students with disabilities are entirely different from regular students, society and teachers need a constructive mindset to solve and eliminate the challenges faced by them.

Full textAbstract:
This study aimed to examine the relationships between sleep quality, body image dissatisfaction, and impulsiveness in adolescent girls with mild physical disabilities. This cross-sectional study included 186 adolescent girls with mild physical disabilities. Participants were recruited from rehabilitation centers and special schools. Impulsiveness was measured using the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11), sleep quality was assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and body image dissatisfaction was evaluated using the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to examine the relationships between the variables. A linear regression analysis was performed to determine the predictive value of sleep quality and body image dissatisfaction on impulsiveness, using SPSS version 27. The mean score for impulsiveness was 55.28 (SD = 10.45), sleep quality was 12.67 (SD = 3.98), and body image dissatisfaction was 87.34 (SD = 15.29). Pearson correlation analysis showed significant positive correlations between impulsiveness and sleep quality (r = 0.45, p < .001), and between impulsiveness and body image dissatisfaction (r = 0.52, p < .001). The regression model indicated that both sleep quality (B = 0.92, p < .001) and body image dissatisfaction (B = 0.25, p < .001) significantly predicted impulsiveness, explaining 37% of the variance (R² = 0.37, F(2, 183) = 53.68, p < .001). Poor sleep quality and high body image dissatisfaction are significant predictors of impulsiveness in adolescent girls with mild physical disabilities. Interventions aimed at improving sleep quality and promoting positive body image may help reduce impulsiveness and enhance overall well-being in this population.

Principal component factor analysis with varimax rotation yielded the same two factors for adolescents with disabilities as reported for nondisabled adolescents in the related literature. Cronbach alphas for the two factors were .89 and .56. It was concluded that the scale is an appropriate measure for adolescents with disabilities. Statistical analysis indicated no gender differences for adolescents with disabilities. When compared with nondisabled groups in the related literature, these adolescents had perceived fitness similar to nondisabled peers but significantly lower than that of athletes without disabilities.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the ecological factors that influence the school life adaptation of adolescents with physical disabilities, including personal, microsystem, and exosystem factors. Method: To achieve the purpose of the study, the responses of 158 adolescents with physical disabilities were extracted and analyzed from the 4th Panel Survey on the lives of individuals with disabilities conducted by the KODDI. Results: First, the level of ecological factors on the school life adaptation of adolescents with physical disabilities was found to be positive overall. Second, as a result of examining the ecological influence factors on the school life adaptation of adolescents with physical disabilities, among microsystem factors, family health was found to have a statistically significant influence, and among exosystem factors, the degree of respect received in daily life was found to have a statistically significant influence. Conclusion: Based on the results derived from this study, educational measures to improve family health and social awareness shift on individuals with physical disabilities as part of a strategy to improve the level of school life adaptation of adolescents with physical disabilities were discussed.

 Background: The advancement of social media and increasingly sophisticated devices, makes teenagers interested in using it as a place to socialize online and reluctant to socialize in person. Adolescents with physical disabilities who have a tendency towards narcissism are more interested in things that only involve the desire to be loved and be the center of attention. Purpose: This study aims to determine the relationship between loneliness and narcissism tendencies in adolescents with physical disabilities when using social media. Methods: The method used was quantitative with a correlation design. A total of 108 adolescents with physical disabilities aged 18-22 years using social media were used as research participants using purposive sampling technique. Loneliness was measured using University of California Loneliness Scale Version 3 (a= 0,828) and Narcissism was measured using narcissistic Personality Inventory (a= 0,867). Result: showed that loneliness and narcissism in adolescents with disabilities when using social media had a significant positive relationship (r= 0,897 with sig. = 0,000). Conclusion: Loneliness has contributes of 64% on narcissism tendencies. This reserach is an initial effort to prevent narcissistic tendencies among adolescents with disabilities, because researchers see that some perople with disabilities feel lonely constantly.

Full textAbstract:
The emotional well-being of a child with a learning disability can alter when there is no emotional support available. This can lead one to become depressed and/or consider suicide. In North America, adolescent suicide has become a major public health problem. Currently, suicide is the third primary cause of adolescent death in both Canada and the United States. Suicide rates in the United States increased 142% between 1960 and 1981 for both boys and girls in the 15 to 19-year old age group. There are a number of factors that put a person's life in jeopardy, such as life events, trauma, and learning disabilities. Adolescents with learning disabilities are uncertain about their future and their personal goals. Depression may manifest when opportunities seem limited while trying to reach their personal and educational goals. They are often haunted by the stigma of having a learning disability. Youths are inclined to develop emotional difficulties and are likely to inflict self-harm. Emotional disorders are common among people with learning disabilities than those who are non-learning disabled. Individuals with learning disabilities are more likely to develop self- harming disorders as a result to being labeled with a learning disability. The definition of self-harm is defined as a non-accidental injury, which produces bleeding of momentary or permanent tissue damage over a repeated amount of time. Self-harming is found to be a physical and emotional outlet to relieve the stressors of school and home life. Another part of self-harm is head banging, cutting, biting, scratching, and hair pulling.

Introduction. The study of the problem of school well-being and anxiety of adolescents with and without disabilities is of fundamental importance for the psychological support of the process of academic adaptation.Aim. The present research aimed to conduct a comparative analysis of the characteristics of school well-being and school anxiety as the main indicators of academic adaptation of young adolescent schoolchildren with disabilities.Methodology and research methods. The authors used a questionnaire aimed at identifying the main demographic indicators; the Phillips test aimed at assessing the main indicators of school anxiety: general anxiety, social stress, frustration of success, fear of self-expression, fear of testing knowledge, fear of not meeting expectations, low resistance to stress, problems in relationships with teachers; original scales for assessing indicators of school well-being, including the areas of relationships with classmates and teachers, self-assessment of educational activities, educational motivation, self-regulation of emotional states. The use of the subject approach in the study allowed the authors to identify the subject (emotional-regulatory) factors of school well-being and to determine the ways of psychological support for the academic adaptation of adolescents with disabilities. The study involved 120 primary young adolescent schoolchildren (46.7% girls, 53.3% boys) enrolled in general education schools and in schools that offer adaptive learning programmes.Results. The authors found out that well-being indicators, which characterise interpersonal relationships, satisfaction with learning, and motivation for achievements, unpleasant physical sensations, are higher in adolescents with disabilities. The ability to be insistive and to have a differentiated attitude to lessons is an external negative motivation for learning in relatively healthy adolescents. Higher indicators of school anxiety of relatively healthy students reflect increased psychological tension in the conditions of general education schools and there is the need for special organisational and content changes in schools to create a real inclusive environment. The confirmatory model of school well-being indicators reflects three important aspects of it: “Self-organisation based on reflection”, “Ability to emotional self-regulation” and “Positive school motivation”.Practical significance of the current research lies in the possibility of using its results to optimise the process of academic adaptation of adolescents and to specify the principles of inclusive education in accordance with the specifics of adolescents’ school well-being and school anxiety.

The puberty period for deaf adolescent requires psychic and physical reorganisation (body experienced, body spoken) as well as in their emotional relationships. The aim is to analyze the unconscious psychic processes in hearing impaired adolescents in order to better understand the issues of libidinal investments and the quality of bodily representations. Three clinical interviews and three Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) as a projective test were conducted with three adolescents met at the National Rehabilitation Center for Persons with Disabilities -Etoug-Ebe (CNRPH) in Yaoundé, Cameroon. The results show that bodily experiences and representations seem to function as vulnerabilities for these hearing-impaired adolescents. When interacting with family and peers, there is a disinvestment in objects in favour of an overinvestment in narcissism (narcissistic withdrawal).

Full textAbstract:
The accumulation of body fat is an important cardiometabolic risk factor; however, there is no consensus about which measure is more reliable for the assessment of cardiometabolic risk in people with intellectual disabilities. The aim of the present study was to primarily validate the submandibular skinfold as an anthropometric measurement of cardiometabolic risk in children, adolescents, and adults with intellectual disabilities, using a cross-sectional study made up of 131 people (67.2% men) with mild and moderate intellectual disability. The cardiometabolic risk indicators used were: body mass index (kg/m2), neck circumference (cm), waist circumference (cm), calf circumference (cm) and waist-to-height ratio. Moderate correlations were demonstrated between the submandibular skinfold measure and the anthropometric measurements analyzed in the three age categories, showing the highest correlation (r = 0.70) between the submandibular skinfold and BMI in the adolescent group and waist-to-height ratio in adults. The implementation of the submandibular skinfold measurement is suggested as an easy, fast, and minimally invasive anthropometric measurement as part of the physical and nutritional evaluation for the assessment of cardiometabolic risk in people with intellectual disabilities.

Full textAbstract:
School closures during pandemics raise important concerns for children and adolescents. Our aim is synthesizing available data on the impact of school closure during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on child and adolescent health globally. We conducted a rapid systematic review by searching PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar for any study published between January and September 2020. We included a total of ten primary studies. COVID-19-related school closure was associated with a significant decline in the number of hospital admissions and pediatric emergency department visits. However, a number of children and adolescents lost access to school-based healthcare services, special services for children with disabilities, and nutrition programs. A greater risk of widening educational disparities due to lack of support and resources for remote learning were also reported among poorer families and children with disabilities. School closure also contributed to increased anxiety and loneliness in young people and child stress, sadness, frustration, indiscipline, and hyperactivity. The longer the duration of school closure and reduction of daily physical activity, the higher was the predicted increase of Body Mass Index and childhood obesity prevalence. There is a need to identify children and adolescents at higher risk of learning and mental health impairments and support them during school closures.

Aim and Background: Occupations are everyday activities that help occupy our time and provide us with a sense of purpose in life. Adolescence is a unique stage of life when individuals experience occupational change that assists with preparation for adulthood. Participation in occupations is linked to health and wellbeing. Existing literature on occupational participation appears to combine adolescents’ and children’s experiences. Due to the unique nature of adolescence and an increased focus on service development and re-design for all age groups in Australia since the implementation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme, this scoping review sought to explore Occupational Therapy interventions that promote adolescents’ participation in everyday occupations. Design and Methods: A systematic search of eight databases for peer reviewed papers published between 2008 and 2018 was conducted. The PRISMA guidelines were used to guide the review processes. Study selection criteria focussed
 
 on Occupational Therapy interventions promoting participation in everyday occupations for adolescents (between 10 to 19 years of age). The data was charted and synthesised to identify key features of the interventions. Results: The 26 included studies revealed various intervention types and adolescent groups. The majority of the interventions targeted adolescents with physical disabilities and autism spectrum disorder. Many studies focussed on promoting functional independence in work, personal care, social participation and health management. Features of interventions include collaborative (with the adolescent and family) intervention goal setting and evaluation processes, as well as the use of technology. The majority of the papers reported positive outcomes, however mixed results were also identified. The findings provide guidance for adolescent service development and re-design by identifying the areas of occupation and features of programs, documented in Occupational Therapy-specific literature. Future reviews can extend our understanding further by incorporating by including publications that focus on assessment and other roles of Occupational Therapists.

Full textAbstract:
The impact of activities of daily living (ADLs) on the life satisfaction of adolescents with disabilities and the potential role of physical leisure activities as a moderator in this context have received attention. However, little is known about the influence of physical leisure activities on the relationship between ADLs and life satisfaction in adolescents with disabilities. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the moderating effect of physical leisure activities on the relationship between ADLs and life satisfaction among adolescents with disabilities. Secondary data analysis was conducted by extracting data from 5364 adolescents aged 12–18 years with disabilities from the 2020 National Survey of Disabled Persons of Korea. The potential moderating effect of physical leisure activities on the relationship between ADLs and life satisfaction was investigated using Pearson’s correlation analysis and hierarchical multiple regression. Significant positive correlations were found for living, life satisfaction, and physical leisure activities. Physical leisure activities were found to play a moderating role in the relationship between ADLs and life satisfaction. This study concluded that increasing physical leisure activities, even with dependent ADLs, promotes life satisfaction, especially if ADLs are low, highlighting the necessity of increasing leisure activities in adolescents with disabilities.

The purpose of this study was to examine three frameworks, (a) process-product, (b) student mediation, and (c) classroom ecology, to understand physical activity (PA) behavior of adolescents with and without disabilities in middle school inclusive physical education (PE). A total of 13 physical educators teaching inclusive PE and their 503 students, including 22 students with different disabilities, participated in this study. A series of multilevel regression analyses indicated that physical educators’ teaching behavior and students’ implementation intentions play important roles in promoting the students’ PA in middle school inclusive PE settings when gender, disability, lesson content, instructional model, and class location are considered simultaneously. The findings suggest that the ecological framework should be considered to effectively promote PA of adolescents with and without disabilities in middle school PE classes.

The purpose of this study is to describe gratitude in teenagers with disabilities (physical disability). This type of research is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. The subjects are adolescents who are physically disabled. The results obtained show that gratitude is a feeling and attitude of accepting everything that has been given by God, by trying to return everything to God. Factors that influence the gratitude of adolescents with disabilities are faith in God, the presence of parents, social support (friends, parents, and living environment), religious experience. Meanwhile, the benefits obtained from the feeling of gratitude are physical health, increased ability of self-esteem, not easily despairing, living life without burden and being more patient.

Full textAbstract:
Adolescent obesity has tripled in the past two decades, and adolescents with disabilities, specifically autism spectrum disorders (ASD), may be at greater risk for obesity due to the behavioral, physical, and psychosocial complications related to their disorder. This case study reports the effects of video game playing on an obese adolescent with ASD and illustrates the use of a multiple baseline single subject design. Over 12 weeks, the participant played inactive (6 weeks) and active video games (6 weeks) on the Wii console. Physiological data were evaluated weekly at home. Stress and anxiety were measured via the Stress Survey Schedule for Individuals with Autism and Other Pervasive Non-Developmental Disorders (SSS) and the Behavior Assessment System for Children Second Edition (BASC-2) pre- and postintervention. The Therapy Attitude Inventory (TAI) was used to determine parental perception of video game playing as a socially valid intervention to reduce stress and anxiety. Results demonstrated that active video game playing slowed and/or reduced weight and BMI with minimal changes to waist-to-hip ratios, triceps skinfolds, and stress and anxiety. This study demonstrates how alternative methods for physical activity may be used to improve health outcomes of overweight/obese adolescents with ASD and suggests directions for future research.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Children and adolescents with disabilities engage in low levels of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA), which may create the onset of a sedentary lifestyle. In light of this, MVPA levels must be quantified with a valid tool such as accelerometry. This study aimed to: (i) analyze the accuracy of Evenson cut-points by estimating MVPA and sedentary behavior (SB) in children and adolescents with disabilities; (ii) define new equations to estimate energy expenditure (EE) with the GT3X+ accelerometer in this population and particularly in those with cerebral palsy (CP); (iii) define specific GT3X+ cut-points to estimate MVPA in those with CP. Methods: A total of 23 children and adolescents with disabilities (10 ± 3 years; 44%females) participated in the study. GT3X+-counts and oxygen uptake (VO2) were measured in four laboratory walking conditions. Results: (i) Evenson cut-points were accurate; (ii) new equations were defined to effectively predict EE; (iii) specific GT3X+ cut-points (VM ≥ 702 counts·min−1; Y-Axis ≥ 360 counts·min−1) were defined for estimating MVPA levels in children and adolescents with CP. Conclusions: The use of specific cut-points for ActiGraph GT3X+ seems to be accurate to estimate MVPA levels in children and adolescents with disabilities and, particularly, in those with CP, at least in laboratory conditions.

Full textAbstract:
Background and purpose Emotional and behavioural problems (EBPs) are the two main forms of mental health problems that hinder the social interactions, learning and daily living of children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities (ID). Studies have shown that sufficient moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is associated with mental health outcomes among children and adolescents with typically developing (TD). However, these associations have not been fully studied in children and adolescent with ID, especially in samples from China. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the associations between MVPA and EBPs in Chinese children and adolescents with ID. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 116 students with ID (35.34% girls) aged 6–18 years. The wGT3-BT accelerometer was used to measure physical activity (PA), and the Chinese version of the parent-rated Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was used to assess the participants’ EBPs. A series of binary logical regression analyses was conducted to examine the ability of the MVPA guideline attainment in predicting EBPs in the total sample. Results The descriptive results showed that 43.97% of children and adolescents with ID present with EBPs. After controlling for age, sex, ID severity and weight status, logistic regression analysis indicated that the participants who meet the MVPA guideline exhibited significantly lower odds ratio for emotional symptoms (OR = 0.334, 95% CI [0.114–0.975], p = 0.045), peer problems (OR = 0.071, 95% CI [0.015–0.328], p < 0.001) and total difficulties (OR = 0.192, 95% CI [0.069–0.535], p = 0.002) compared with those who did not meet the guidelines. Conclusion The prevalence of EBPs in Chinese children and adolescents with ID remains high. Children and adolescents with ID meeting the MVPA guideline were more likely to have lower risks for emotional symptoms, peer problems and total difficulties than those who did not meet the guidelines. Future research adopting longitudinal or interventional designs to determine the relationships between PA and EBPs in this population are expected.

Unfortunately, statistics on the birth of children with disabilities in the world are growing every year. Depending on the diagnosis and specifics of development, each child needs special care, upbringing and training. One of the types of institutions in Ukraine that provide training, upbringing, and correction of psychophysiological features of the development of children and teens is rehabilitation centres. Conditions in them are created following the needs of a particular group of people which is as comfortable as possible. Also, the specifics of training and rehabilitation provide an individual's psychological growth and development among people who have similar developmental features, and therefore the same "strengths" and "weaknesses". 
 Cerebral palsy (CP) is defined as a persistent disorder of posture caused by a non-progressive pathological one of the developing brain.
 Every graduate of rehabilitation centres needs social support and assistance in adapting to an adult, independent life. Such support makes a person feel less alone reduces anxiety and feelings of loneliness and isolation. Social workers become guides from one social environment to another, mitigating such a transition as much as possible for people with mental and physical disabilities, who are one of the most vulnerable segments of the population. 
 Individuals in later adolescence are on the verge of a crucial transition to adult life. This developmental stage involves the challenges of making living arrangements, setting goals, establishing independence, and forming social relationships (Spekman, Goldberg, & Herman, 1992). It may be a difficult period for young people with physical disabilities who face unemployment, low income, social isolation, and lack of advice (Hirst, 1982). Later adolescence also is a time of self-evaluation and comparison with others, and young people with disabilities may be forced to reflect on their physical differences and areas of competence. These developments ultimately affect their success in life and happiness. For instance, Clausen (1993) has shown that adolescent competence is linked to occupational, financial, and marital success.

Objectives: Caring for adolescents with developmental disabilities (DD) is stressful and challenging, and mothers usually provide care for these children in Korea. This study aimed to identify factors influencing quality of life (QoL) in mothers of adolescents with DD.Methods: A predictive design was used. Data were collected from a web-based survey administered to a convenience sample of 154 mothers of adolescents with DD from October to November 2020. Data were analyzed using the t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression.Results: Perceived health, depression, and family strength were significantly correlated with QoL. Multiple regression showed that family strength, perceived health, depression, and monthly household income influenced the participants’ QoL, and these factors accounted for 69.2% of variance in QoL. Family strength was the factor most strongly affecting QoL (β=0.39).Conclusion: The study results indicate that health professionals and policy-makers need to pay attention to the overall QoL and physical and psychological health of mothers of adolescents with DD. Since our findings raise the importance of family strength in the QoL of this population, programs to improve family strength need to be implemented and strengthened. Interventions to improve perceived health and decrease depression should be applied, and knowledge on adolescent characteristics and changes should be delivered to caregivers when providing education and consultations. The findings will be helpful for developing educational and counseling programs for this population.

Abstract Background Substance use among adolescents with health conditions and disabilities is an important issue in public health and pediatrics that warrants further study. Existing research typically investigates one type of health condition and/or disability, which limits understanding of how substance use is similar or different across various sub-groups. By including multiple sub-groups and adolescents who report no conditions, the results of our research could be used to inform targeted interventions and supports. Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate substance use among adolescents across multiple categories of health conditions and/or disabilities using data from the 2013 British Columbia Adolescent Health Survey (BCAHS) (see Table 1). The research objectives were: 1) to determine the number of (categories of) substances used by survey respondents; 2) to investigate the occurrence (frequency) of respondents’ substance use; 3) to explore the consequences of their substance use; and 4) to ascertain the reasons for their substance use. Design/Methods This was a secondary analysis of data from the 2013 British Columbia Adolescent Health Survey, which is quinquennially administered by the McCreary Centre Society. The BCAHS is a large-scale survey designed to capture information about adolescents’ physical and emotional health, and about factors that can influence health during adolescence and in later life. The study population consisted of a total provincial weighted N = 251,641 of adolescents from 56 (of 59) school districts who attended Grade 7 to Grade 12 in the 2012/2013 school year. We performed a series of descriptive statistical analyses on the person-level database, including frequencies and cross-tabulations. Statistical analyses were conducted using the Complex Samples module of IBM SPSS Statistics, Version 24 (IBM Corp, 2016), which facilitates the computation of statistics and standard errors from complex sample designs while adjusting for the complex cluster-stratified sampling method and weighted data by integrating sample designs into survey analysis. Results The results indicated great diversity, both within and between categories of health conditions and/or disabilities. In particular, we found that youth in three categories: those with mental or emotional needs, those with behavioural needs, and those with two or more conditions were i) using the greatest number of (categories of) substances, ii) using substances most frequently, and iii) were experiencing the most severe consequences as a result of substance use. Conclusion Clearly there is a need for greater access to mental health supports, including assessment and treatment, for adolescents. Further, given that youth with two or more conditions were also more likely to engage in substance use, there is a need for complex care programs to support this sub-group. Lastly, as adolescents are approaching the transition from pediatrics to adult healthcare services, substance use programming that bridges these developmental stages is needed.

Full textAbstract:
Adolescent girls with intellectual disabilities (ID) are at risk for low physical activity (PA) participation due to their limited opportunities. Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a 12-week dance intervention to promote engagement in moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) and increase cardiorespiratory fitness. Methods: The 12-week intervention included two 75-min weekly dance sessions. Continuous heart-rate (HR) monitoring assessed time spent below/at/above each girl’s target HR zone. Cardiorespiratory fitness was measured by the 6-min walk test (6MWT). Survey items assessed participant enjoyment and participant and parent satisfaction. Results: The mean (SD) age of 18 adolescent girls was 17.3 (2.7) years. Overall, girls attended 88% of sessions and spent 52.3% of each session in MVPA. Mean MVPA was unchanged across the 12 weeks, but the pattern differed across the three sites. We observed a non-significant pre-post increase of 74.6 feet on the 6MWT. Post-intervention surveys indicated that most girls liked the program, perceived improved fitness, and wished to continue dancing. The majority also reported a preference for a girls-only dance program exclusively for those with ID. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that dance is viable for promoting PA for girls with ID. More frequent exercise training is likely needed to improve cardiorespiratory fitness.

IntroductionIn the last years, there has been a paradigm shift in the educational system of young people with disabilities. Regular schools associated with specific support plans have become the destination of choice for these adolescents, instead of schools with special education. This integrated teaching seeks to reduce stigma and to promote tolerance but frequently these students become easy targets of psychological and physical violence or discrimination.ObjectiveTo evaluate the integration of adolescents with disabilities in mainstream education compared to special teaching.MethodsAnalysis of 32 patients with disabilities from the adolescence consultation of the psychiatry service of hospital de Santa Maria, between January 2015 and September 2016.ResultsAbout 30% of the adolescents with disabilities who attend regular schools with special support complains of poor adjustment associated with some kind of mistreatment by peers.ConclusionViolence among students in school is a current problem very difficult to fight. Young people with disabilities often find themselves in a significant minority presenting less efficient defense mechanisms. If unprotected, they may easily develop school phobia or refusal. These situations must be identified and avoided to prevent the associated suffering.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Full textAbstract:
Although driving has a great impact on employment, self-esteem, and quality of life for adolescents, students with physical disabilities are not considered for driving programs in secondary schools. Such exclusion forces students to seek alternative driving programs, which are costly and difficult to locate. No studies have examined the perceptions of students with physical disabilities regarding the process of learning to drive. This study used qualitative interviews to develop an understanding of such perceptions. Results indicated participants felt driving would add freedom, independence, and responsibility to their lives and increase their educational, employment, and recreational choices. Most participants indicated they preferred to be included in high school driver's education. Personal experiences revealed that enrollment in that class was either delayed or not presented as an option.

Introduction: Nutrients are related to the growth and development of children. In addition to nutrition, physical activity is no less important in the process of child growth and development that can be carried out in the home or school environment. Children with disabilities sometimes can’t get the optimum nutrients required for their body and it is hard to do physical activities. It is necessary to study eating patterns and physical activities and the incidence of obesity in children with disabilities. The purpose of the study was to determine the description of eating patterns, physical activity and the incidence of obesity in children with disabilities. Methods: The research method used was a quantitative design with a cross sectional approach. Subjects were recruited by purposive sampling technique. Diet was determined by a food frequency questionnaire. Physical activity was measured by the standard Global Physical Activity Questionnaire. Univariate analysis was used to describe the distribution of frequency and percentage. Bivariate analysis was used to determine the relationship of diet and physical activity with the incidence of obesity. Results: The result is that 50% of Bangunputra Special Educational Needs (SEN) School’s students are obese, 25% are normal, and 25% tend to be thin. The eating pattern of students with disabilities resulted in 43.8% being balanced and the remaining 56.2% consuming excessively on staple foods. In physical activity, 45.2% did physical activity and the remaining 54.5% did not do physical activity. Low physical activity can be caused by children with autism who have motor disorders that can affect them. Parenting patterns are related to socio-economic status, because the majority of parents of Bangunputra SEN School students do not restrain or limit any child's wishes. Conclusion: The results showed that the incidence of obesity in children with disabilities is related to the knowledge of eating patterns and physical activity. Parents and the school environment play an essential role in providing better care for people with disabilities.

Purpose: To describe the perspective of caregivers about physical therapy (PT) during the COVID-19 pandemic and the effect of social distancing on the health of children with physical disabilities. Methods: This survey research used a remote questionnaire to identify the perceptions of caregivers about the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health of children and adolescents with physical disabilities and on PT services. Data were analyzed using the frequency of responses; open-ended questions were analyzed through a hybrid approach to thematic analysis. Results: Caregivers of 47 children with cerebral palsy were included. Although most received regular PT services during the pandemic, worsened children's physical conditions and anxiety were prevalent. Caregivers believed that they lacked technical skills. Conclusions: Social distancing impacted the health of children with physical disabilities, especially their physical conditions. Identifying facilitators and barriers for PT services can be helpful in future similar scenarios. Video abstract Supplemental Digital Content available at: http://links.lww.com/PPT/A503.
