Abstract:

Individuals with a psychiatric disability have had the poorest vocational outcomes of all the disabled populations when comparing rehabilitation success rates. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between selected background, social, and service variables and vocational rehabilitation outcome in order to identify potential indicators of success or failure. Data was gathered from records in the Tucson, Arizona offices of the state-federal vocational rehabilitation program. The sample included 210 White and Hispanic subjects with a psychiatric disability. Their records had

Abstract:

The burden schizophrenia places on the individual, on the family and on society in general is determined more by the associated disability rather than the manifest symptoms. Therefore, measurement of disability provides a baseline for evaluating change and directing treatment. This research has two main aims. The primary purpose of this study was to develop and validate a contemporary revision of the World Health Organisation-Psychiatric Disability Assessment Schedule (1988).

Suicidality is a major public health issue and is more common among people with disabilities. However, relatively little is known about the context and specifics of suicidality among adults with disabilities compared to their peers without disabilities.

This dissertation presents a discussion of life in the community for people experiencing psychiatric disabilities in the post-deinstitutional era, with the goal of developing knowledge that can suggest a focus for planning more relevant services and supports. While evaluations of deinsitutionalization have focused on possibilities for providing community, rather than hospital-based services for these individuals, the intention was to support a participatory life in the community, a life defined by much more than just care and treatment.

Abstract:

In general, people with severe psychiatric disability living in sheltered or supported housing lead passive, solitary lives. Current rehabilitative approaches often neglect considering an agentic perspective of the residents in sheltered or supported housing. Furthermore, the outreach and societal contexts are often not considered. Thus, practitioners tend to overlook the potential in providing support and rehabilitation that is adapted to their individual, collective and changing needs. My approach was to develop a model for Everyday Life Rehabilitation (ELR), which has a potential to promote

Abstract:

Purpose: Historically, communities have opposed the development of residential programs for adults with psychiatric disabilities. In the last two decades, national and local campaigns have made targeted efforts to improve public knowledge about mental illness, and attitudes and behaviors towards mental health clients. Supportive housing policies have also been revised to better facilitate integration and independence for clients with psychiatric disabilities. Despite these changes, the number of studies on perceptions of psychiatric supportive housing has dramatically declined in recent years.

Background and Research Problem: It is well-known that nurses around the world are exposed to various forms of violence at their workplaces.

There is a perception that the current legislation and regulations in the country do not adequately protect psychiatric nurses (health care workers in general) against workplace violence.

The majority of poststroke patients have a disability that may require help from a family member with basic functions such as dressing and bathing.

Abstract:

This research concerned the social experience of two groups of adults with intellectual disability (mental handicap), those with verbal skills who could describe their experience and those with profound disabilities whose needs were interpreted by carers. Conceptual issues have been discussed to provide a framework for understanding their relationships and also for understanding intellectual disability itself. Social constructionism, has influenced the investigations. Previous research shows that disabled people experience relatively little social contact regardless of their level of ability.

Abstract:

Le travail constitue un levier de rétablissement pour les personnes vivant avec des troubles psychiques ; de nombreux dispositifs existent pour favoriser leur insertion professionnelle. En France, l'accès à l'emploi pour ce public est encore faible et peu de recherches sont réalistes alors que des pratiques existantes sont intéressantes, notamment celle des ESAT de transition de l'association Messidor, qui visent une insertion en milieu ordinaire pour ces personnes. L'objectif de cette thèse était de décrire ce dispositif de transition "par et vers l'emploi" , en le comparant aux pratiques de

Abstract:

La notion de « traitement social » permet de considérer que l'autisme présente une certaine forme de réalité avant de faire l'objet d'un certain nombre de savoirs et de pratiques. La notion de traitement social a été privilégiée par rapport à la notion de « construction sociale » pour éviter l'idée que l'autisme acquiert une forme de réalité uniquement par le biais de sa construction sociale. Le choix de ce titre marque donc une volonté de déplacement par rapport au constructivisme. Toutes les catégories ont une origine sociale, dans la mesure où elles reposent sur un cadre socialement produit

Abstract:

Introduction: Despite a growing body of intellectual disabilities literature around the transition into adulthood, most studies have focused upon physical aspects of the transition e.g. from school to employment or into adult services. My study sought to explore the transition into adulthood from a developmental/lifecourse perspective in order to address this current gap within the literature. Given that parents are often regarded as primary witnesses to their child’s transition into adulthood, their views were explored in order to access knowledge around this particular transition.

Abstract:

Background: Adults who have an intellectual disability (ID) often continue to live with their parents long after their siblings have left home. While an increasing body of research has described positive parental experiences, research has also found that parents of adults who have ID and behavioural difficulties are more vulnerable to develop parental stress and depression. Aggression is one of the most difficult forms of problem behaviours to manage and could have a negative impact on the parent-child relationship, the child's social inclusivity and the psychological well-being of parents.
