Abstract:

<p> The purpose of the study was to explore the perceptions of university students with disabilities and the factors that contribute to or deter them from accessing Disabled Student Services. The sample was based on availability and convenience and consisted of 36 students. A self-administered survey was used.</p><p> The results indicated that students tended to seek services to access accommodations and to learn more about services that can help them succeed. They tended to delay seeking services in order to have a fresh start in college and due to their fear of stigma. Individuals with men

Abstract:

<p> Disabled students graduate from post-secondary education at a lower rate than non-disabled students. It is unknown if disabled and non-disabled students experience equal access to mental health services. This mixed methods study compared participants' reported psychological distress and willingness to utilize mental health services among disabled and non-disabled university students (N=96) and analyzed qualitative data regarding barriers and supports to utilizing mental health services. Disabled students reported more psychological distress and higher willingness to utilize mental health s

Abstract:

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer mortality in women in the United States. Because the majority of risk factors for breast cancer are not modifiable, early detection methods such as mammography are essential. However, concern exists for the equitable provision and use of mammography services in the U.S. Mammography is oﬁen underutilized by various subpopulations resulting, potentially, in these groups not experiencing the benefits of early detection. A subpopulation that has received little attention in the study of mammography utilization encompasses persons classiﬁed as dis

Abstract:

Training in independent and age-appropriate leisure activities is part of a comprehensive program of active treatment for developmentally disabled adults. Increased leisure skills have been shown to reduce a variety of problem behaviors, enhance a variety of useful skills, and allow the developmentally disabled to assimilate into more normalized settings. However, the developmentally disabled individual's engagement in leisure activities is often restricted due to such things as their own skill deficits, as well as limited availability of materials.

Abstract:

The present study explores the discursive constructions of health, fitness and disability among eight 14-17 year old youth with variety of mobility impairments living in the Ottawa area. Located within a framework informed by feminist poststructuralist and disability theories, the study is based on a content analysis of guided conversations and individual journals in which participants were involved. Results indicate that participants discursively construct health and fitness in corporeal terms such as being active, eating right, and having a good body. Within their constructions, participants

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The access and utilization of maternal health care services by disabled and Dalit women in Nepal has not been well studied, and yet disparities in these may result in poor health outcomes. Co-existence of caste and disability may lead Dalit women with disability to further exclusion and marginalization, preventing them to access basic human rights and opportunities such as maternal health care services. It is therefore important to understand disabled and Dalit women’s access and utilization of health care service and the effect of intersectionality between their caste status and d

Abstract:

Impairments in balance with related decline in functional abilities, an increased incidence of falls, and fear of falling are problems that concern elderly populations as well as health care providers. There does not appear to be consensus on which method of balance testing or balance training best addresses the components of balance to effectively test and train balance as it relates to the specific task and environment in which it is occurring. It is also unclear what effect balance training may have on confidence in balance or reducing the fear of falling in elderly populations. The purpose

The accessibility, predictors, and use of health care and social services among developmentally disabled elderly adults in Canada were examined using a nationally representative social survey.

The results of this research show that the illness (need) variables are the most predictive correlate of the utilization of health care and social services. The predisposing

Abstract:

Length of hospital stay (LOS) is a major indicator for measuring efficient care. Intellectually disabled psychiatric patients (IDPP) with chronic medical problems have longer LOS due to challenges faced by providers in jointly managing both psychiatric and medical problems. The purposes of this study were to understand the significance of LOS for IDPP, create an intervention toolkit to reduce LOS, establish the content validity of the toolkit, and recommend its implementation. The items of the toolkit are pharmacology, somatic, rehabilitation, psychosocial, and monitoring patients' psychiatric

The predictors of this utilization behavior and perceived need primarily include need variables, such as the number of limitations of daily living -- both ADLs and IADLs, and funct

Their collective experience was then compared with nondisabled RGNs working in the clinical areas of general medical wards, general surgical wards, and day case units, situated in three district general hospitals.

Abstract:

Ohälsosamma matvanor ökar risken för övervikt och fetma vilket medför ökad risk att drabbas av sjukdomar som cancer, diabetes samt hjärt- och kärl. År 2010 var 20 procent av 16-29 åringarna i Sverige överviktiga samt 7 procent feta. Prevalensen av övervikt och fetma är högre bland funktionsnedsatta än bland de utan funktionsnedsättning.
