abstract: 'BACKGROUND: The International Classification of Functioning, Disability
|
|
|
|
and Health (ICF) was approved by the World Health Assembly in 2001. Ten
|
|
|
|
years later, strong arguments have arisen regarding the added value of
|
|
|
|
ICF to the policies on employment and the outcomes at the workplace. As
|
|
|
|
a conceptual framework, ICF has universality because of its inclusive
|
|
|
|
and comprehensive view of human functioning. At a practical level ICF
|
|
|
|
can be used to quantify the impact of impairment on an individual''s
|
|
|
|
ability to act in his/her environment and to assess interventions to
|
|
|
|
minimize the impact of disability and maximize functioning.
|
|
|
|
OBJECTIVE: To explore key indicators of social participation (life
|
|
|
|
habits) of persons with disabilities, particularly related to work,
|
|
|
|
among environmental and personal factors.
|
|
|
|
METHODOLOGY/PARTICIPANTS: Data were collected by self-administered
|
|
|
|
questionnaires from a convenience sample of 149 working-age persons with
|
|
|
|
disabilities.
|
|
|
|
RESULTS: Social participation is a construct composed by multiple
|
|
|
|
components and employment domain is the strongest indicator of
|
|
|
|
participation. Correlations between social participation and personal
|
|
|
|
factors, such as self-efficacy and attitudes towards disability were
|
|
|
|
moderate. Those who are employed scored higher quality of life in terms
|
|
|
|
of satisfaction with life, more positive attitudes toward disabilities
|
|
|
|
and higher self-efficacy than the ones who are retired or unemployed.
|
|
|
|
Persons using adapted wheelchair and those who were involved in
|
|
|
|
wheelchair selection scored higher in social participation in general,
|
|
|
|
performance at work, and quality of life. Age and disability duration
|
|
|
|
were not associated with participants'' employment status.
|
|
|
|
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that rehabilitation
|
|
|
|
and vocational agents, like physiotherapists and other professionals,
|
|
|
|
should have knowledge and understanding of the multiple factors that
|
|
|
|
influence persons with disabilities'' participation at work. Programs
|
|
|
|
should provide appropriate wheelchairs, skills training, empowerment and
|
|
|
|
problem-solving strategies in labour activities and occupational
|
|
|
|
environment to promote employment of working-age persons with
|
|
|
|
disabilities.'
