A comparison by descriptive, social and clinical data of 34 adult patients in the Rehabilitation Center for Crippled Children and Adults, Miami, Florida who live with some member of their family with 36 adult patients who lived aloneUnknown Date (has links)
In working with the disabled and/or handicapped person it is necessary to consider all aspects of social functioning if realistic goals are to be reached in the rehabilitation process. It is recognized that if the family can give interest and support to that member of the family who is disabled and/or handicapped, and agrees to participate in rehabilitation planning that the effect will be helpful. The dichotomy of this study sample is made between those patients living alone and those patients living with some member of their family. The null hypothesis of this study is that there are no differences between the observed and expected frequencies on eleven items of descriptive, social, and clinical information as revealed in the distribution of data for thirty-four adult physically disabled and/or handicapped patients who live with some member of their family and thirty-six adult physically disabled and/or handicapped patients who live alone, which could not occur by chance. / Typescript. / "June, 1961." / "Submitted to the Graduate School of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Social Work." / Advisor: Merle M.

An investigation into the impact of a community-based rehabilitation intervention strategy on persons with physical disabilities in an urban and rural setting in ZambiaBanda-Chalwe, M. 04 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MMed)--Stellenbosch University, 2005. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT:The decentralisation of health care services in the primary health care
system poses a challenge to the delivery of care to the communities in
Zambia. Little is being done in the Ministry of Health to incorporate
community-based rehabilitation (CBR) in the mainstream of primary health
care service delivery despite rehabilitation being regarded as the fourth
component of primary health care.
According to statistics, there are 256 690 (2.7%) persons with disabilities in
Zambia, of which 38.8% are persons with physical disabilities. There are
various community-based rehabilitation programmes in the country trying to
meet the needs of persons with disabilities but these programmes have not
been evaluated to determine the impact which CBR has on the lives of
persons with disabilities. This study aimed to determine the impact of a
community-based rehabilitation intervention strategy on persons with
physical disabilities in an urban and rural setting in Zambia. It is hoped that
the results of this study can be utilised as a means to lobby the Zambian
government to become involved in the rehabilitation process.
An experimental study was done using a community-based rehabilitation
intervention strategy on 66 persons with physical disabilities, of which 62%
were male and 38% female, from Lusaka urban and Chipata rural
community-based rehabilitation programmes. The researcher completed a
self-compiled questionnaire during a personal interview with the
participants/proxy. The questionnaire comprised demographic data and an
assessment of the disability status of persons with physical disabilities
regarding movement, functional activities and their integration into the
community. Perceptions of persons with physical disabilities or their proxy as
regards their disability status and experiences were also assessed by means
of two open-ended questions in the questionnaire.
The community-based rehabilitation intervention strategy was conducted for
six (6) months by the community rehabilitation workers who visited
participants once a week. Data was analysed both quantitatively and
qualitatively to determine the impact of a community-based rehabilitation
intervention strategy and to test the null hypothesis.
The results of this study showed that in Lusaka on one hand, persons with
physical disabilities had improvements in movement, functional activities and
integration level. On the other hand, Chipata showed that persons with
physical disabilities had improvements only regarding integration into the
community. However, combined scores showed that community-based
rehabilitation had an impact on persons with physical disabilities regarding
movement, functional activities and integration into the community. The study
also showed that there was a correlation between integration and movement,
and integration and functional activities. There was no correlation between
integration and caregiver provision and dependency, whereas there was a
negative correlation between perceptions and integration.
Based on these findings, it is recommended that the Ministry of Health takes
up the responsibility of spearheading and coordinating community-based
rehabilitation programmes and incorporating the activities in the existing
structures of primary health care. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING:Die desentralisasie van gesondheidsorgdienste in die primere
gesondheidstelsel hou 'n uitdaging vir dienslewering aan gemeenskappe in
Zambie in. Die Ministerie van Gesondheid doen nie veel om
gemeenskapsgebaseerde rehabilitasie (GBR) by die hoofstroom van primere
gesondheidsorg dienslewering in te Iyf nie, ten spyte daarvan dat
rehabilitasie as die vierde komponent van primere gesondheidsorg beskou
word.
Daar word beraam dat daar 256 690 (2.7%) mense met gestremdhede in
Zambie is, waarvan 38.8% mense met liggaamlike gestremdhede is. Daar is
verskeie gemeenskapsgebaseerde rehabilitasieprogramme in die land wat
poog om in die behoeftes van mense met gestremdhede te voorsien, maar
hierdie programme is nie geevalueer om die impak van GBR op die lewens
van mense met gestremdhede te bepaal nie. Hierdie studie het ten doel
gehad om die impak van 'n gemeenskapsgebaseerde rehabilitasieintervensiestrategie
vir mense met liggaamlike gestremdhede in 'n stedelike
en landelike omgewing in Zambie te bepaal. Daar word gehoop dat die
resultate van hierdie studie gebruik kan word om druk op die Zambiese
regering uit te oefen om by die rehabilitasieproses betrokke te raak.
'n Eksperimentele studie is gedoen deur 'n gemeenskapsgebaseerde
rehabilitasie-intervensiestrategie op 66 mense met liggaamlike
gestremdhede van die Lusaka stedelike en Chipata landelike
gemeenskapsgebaseerde rehabilitasieprogramme toe te pas. Twee en sestig
persent (62%) van die respondente was manlik en 38% vroulik. Die navorser
het tydens 'n persoonlike onderhoud met deelnemers of hulle
gevolmagtigdes 'n selfopgestelde vraelys voltooi. Die vraelys het uit
demografiese data en 'n bepaling van die mense se gestremdheidstatus ten
opsigte van beweging, funksionele aktiwiteite en hulle integrasie in die
gemeenskap bestaan. Persepsies van mense met liggaamlike gestremdhede
of hulle gevolmagtigdes rakende hulle gestremdheidstatus en ervarings is
ook deur middel van twee oop vrae in die vraelys bepaal.Die gemeenskapsgebaseerde rehabilitasie-intervensiestrategie is vir ses (6)
maande toegepas deur gemeenskapsrehabilitasiewerkers wat die
deelnemers een maal 'n week besoek het. Data is sowel kwantitatief as
kwalitatief ontleed om die impak van 'n gemeenskapsgebaseerde
rehabilitasie-intervensiestrategie te bepaal en die nulhipotese te toets.
Die resultate van die studie het aangedui dat mense met liggaamlike
gestremdhede in Lusaka verbetering ten opsigte van beweging, funksionele
aktiwiteite en vlak van integrasie getoon het. Mense met liggaamlike
gestremdhede in Chipata, daarteenoor, het slegs ten opsigte van integrasie
in die gemeenskap verbetering getoon. Gekombineerde tellings het egter
getoon dat gemeenskapsgebaseerde rehabilitasie ten opsigte van beweging,
funksionele aktiwiteite en integrasie in die samelewing 'n impak op mense
met liggaamlike gestremdhede gehad het. Die studie het ook getoon dat daar
'n korrelasie tussen integrasie en beweging, en integrasie en funksionele
aktiwiteite bestaan. Daar was geen korrelasie tussen integrasie en
versorgervoorsiening en -afhanklikheid nie, en daar was 'n negatiewe
korrelasie tussen persepsies en integrasie.
Op grand van hierdie bevindinge word aanbeveel dat die Ministerie van
Gesondheid verantwoordelikheid vir die leiding en koordinasie van
gemeenskapsgebaseerde rehabilitasieprogramme aanvaar en hierdie
aktiwiteite by die aktiwiteite van bestaande primere gesondheidsorgstrukture
inlyf.

Evaluating the effect of the disability policy on the public and the workers, the case of the Eastern Cape Provincial Legislature during 2007-2008Mbutuma, Pumza January 2009 (has links)
The evaluation of the implementation of disability policies is a result of the low rate of public participation in the Eastern Cape Provincial Legislature’s programs as well as the low number of disabled persons who are employed. Institutions like Parliaments and Legislatures are law making institutions, some of their tasks in to attract comments, suggestions and ideas from all interested parties to participate in the law making process. They also have a responsibility to conduct vigorous oversight over the provincial government departments; this includes issues like compliance with the relevant policies and regulations. The data was collect from three different groupings namely the staff of ECPL, the members of provincial legislature as well as the general public which includes disabled persons. It was clear from the findings that the management and the MPL, who are decision makers of the institution, have a very shallow knowledge of the disability policies and regulations. There is a disability strategy which was made for all the legislatures and National Parliament; however the strategy has not been implemented in ECPL. The institution has to create a special programs unit that will promote equality in line with the Bill of Rights which enshrines the rights of all people in the country and affirms the democratic values of human dignity, equality and freedom. The recommendations that were made included education and awareness programs and compliance with regulations like the Employment Equity Act that seeks to unsure that the employment equity targets are met.

Challenges faced by Community-Based Rehabilitation Caregivers for person with disabilities in Vhembe District, South AfricaMaphutha, Murendeni 18 May 2017 (has links)
MPH / Department of Public Health / Background: Globally, more than one billion people, or approximately 15% of the
world’s population are living with some form of disability and 80% of them are found in
developing countries. There are different types of disability; these include sensory,
neurological, physical, intellectual, cognitive and psychiatric disabilities. Persons with
disabilities may require specialized care, resources and commitment which place a very
high demand of time and responsibilities on the one caring for them. Therefore,
Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) was promoted by the World Health
Organisation (WHO) as a strategy to respond to the needs of persons with disabilities,
through the provision of basic services at community level, particularly in developing
countries with limited resources.
Methodology: The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the challenges
faced by Community-Based Rehabilitation caregivers for persons with disabilities in
Vhembe District, South Africa. A qualitative phenomenological design was used to
explore and develop an in-depth understanding of the CBR caregiver’s challenges. The
study was conducted in three Community-Based Rehabilitation centres located within
Vhembe District with a sample size of six caregivers who were purposively selected. An
interview guide was developed as an instrument for data collection. Data was collected
through in-depth individual interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis.
Results: Six main themes emerged from the data which shed light on the CBR
caregiver’s challenges, namely; Poor relationships between caregivers, government
v
department and families, unavailability of material and human resources, poor funding
system, caregivers’ well-being, education and training and the coping strategies of CBR
caregivers
Conclusion: This study pointed out that there is a need for intervention from different
stakeholders such as government departments, family members of persons with
disability, and the community members as well for CBR caregiver’s challenges to be
resolved or minimized.

The impact of the community-based rehabilitation strategy on people with disabilities and their families : a case of the Oniipa Constituency, NamibiaMukumbuta, Christopher Lubinda 01 1900 (has links)
Community-based Rehabilitation (CBR) emerged as a response to the failure of the conventional rehabilitation system in developing countries. CBR involves service provision to People with Disabilities (PWDs), changing community attitudes towards disability and transferring knowledge and skills to PWDs, their families and their community.
The study investigated the impact of the CBR strategy on PWDs and their families within the Oniipa Constituency in Namibia. The study used a mixed methods research approach and adopted explorative and descriptive research designs.
It determined that CBR has initiated positive change processes in community attitudes and increased social integration of PWDs. The study recommends reviewing the definition of CBR, providing financial incentives to CBR Volunteer Workers and reviewing the current legislations on disability in Namibia. A final recommendation is that government should formalise disability studies in the country through the provision of accredited training courses to ensure greater assistance to PWDs and their families. / Public Administration / M.P.A.
