  • This study aims to compare and analyze the contents of the ordinance related to disability awareness improvement education enacted by the local government to derive problems and propose improvement measures. To this end, as of December, 2021, a content analysis was conducted on the ordinances of 17 municipal school boards across the country on supporting education to improve disability awareness. As a result of the analysis, the objectives, the responsibilities of the superintendent, and the establishment of the basic plan in the normative system of the ordinance met to some extent the requirements of the ordinance in accordance with the requirements of the ordinance, but in the effective system, the matters concerning the establishment of a board of education, the degree of professional personnel regulation, and the supervision of guidance were insufficient. Accordingly, in this study, based on the results of these studies, we proposed ways to improve the Disability Awareness Improvement Ordinance.

  • The purpose of this study was to identify the emotional and stress factors of the stroke victims living in the community and to investigate the effect of these factors on the level of social participation. Data collection collected data on the level of emotional awareness, stress, and social participation in welfare centers, public health centers, and stroke disabled people using community services. The level of social participation according to general characteristics was analyzed by descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA. Emotional factors, stress factors, and social participation levels were analyzed by pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. As a result, there were no statistically significant factors in the sub-domains of emotional factors that affect social participation performance and satisfaction. In the sub-areas of stress factors, personal internal stress and interpersonal stress were statistically significant variables. The explanatory power showed social participation accomplishment was 34% and satisfaction was 33%. Therefore, various approaches should be made considering stressful factors to achieve rehabilitation into the local community, and additional research is needed to identify psychosocial variables that affect social participation.

  • Objectives: Children with disabilities may exhibit a multitude of symptoms, and treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach for a satisfactory outcome. Lack of awareness among physicians, lack of referral, and lack of inter-sectoral coordination have hindered paediatric practice in Tamil Nadu, a state in India with a striking childhood disability rate that warrants a timely interdisciplinary approach. However, the perspectives of paediatricians on paediatric physiotherapy are unknown. The aim of the study was to investigate the perspectives of practicing paediatric physicians in Chennai on the role of physiotherapy in paediatrics. Methods: For an in-depth exploration, qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted in person with 10 paediatricians. Audio from the sessions was recorded and transcribed, and data saturation was achieved through iterative analysis. Results: A grounded theory analysis of the results yielded 5 domains under which the perspectives and expectations of the physicians were described, along with the barriers experienced by patients' parents as explained by their paediatrician. The responses highlighted deficits in awareness, structural support, accessibility and direct communication between physicians and physiotherapists. Conclusions: Paediatric physicians have different opinions, and some ignorance persists concerning paediatric physiotherapy. This study warrants a proper structure of the paediatric rehabilitation unit and regular interdisciplinary meetings and focus group discussions to increase access for parents and improve patient outcomes.

  • The inclusive playground is a playground where disabled children and non-disabled children can play together, not a playground for the disabled. It started with the change of social awareness of the citizenship rights of disabled people in the 1960s and the resulting playgrounds. Since then, inclusive playgrounds have been developed in many countries, and these are organized in the form by guidelines. In Korea, social interest in inclusive playgrounds is increasing, but there are no systematic guidelines in Korea, and the application of overseas cases or guidelines is limited. The purpose of this study is to classify the concept of inclusive playgrounds and design guidelines, that were previously presented in inclusive playground design guideline of various countries and analyze the characteristics of, design scope, and design principles, and provide a basic framework for creating guidelines. The purpose of the design guideline was to present specific numerical values to the inclusive playground design guidelines, to link with academic research and industrial products, to present pursuit values, and to expand the value of pursuing design methods. The contents were covered by scope, conceptualization, principles of design and design process, design guidelines, and checklists. Most of the guideline covers specific autonomous governments or countries that can apply the related systems or laws, but the composition of the detailed contents is different. The guiding value of inclusive playgrounds presented in each guideline is not a playground for the disabled but a playground for all, and some guidelines refer to the difficulty in playgrounds considering non-disabled children. Based on these concepts, design guidelines are presented in each guideline. Improving the accessibility in design principles is a common theme and adds to the principles of safety, independence, convenience, and playability. None of the guidelines do not provide design guidelines. Although there is a difference in the degree and method of specificity provided by each of the guidelines, the design guidelines can be generally summarized as space, copper line, and unit facilities. As mentioned in many guidelines, an inclusive playground is not only a playground for children with disabilities. Therefore, in the design guidelines, it is also important to the support play of children with disabilities and to induce inclusive play. The design guidelines presented in the guideline can be rearranged into three stages of 'supporting the play of children with disabilities', 'securing the dimensions and materials of spaces and facilities', 'adding auxiliary devices' and 'designing new facilities'. There are three design guidelines for inducing inclusive play. First, by creating various difficulty levels and intersecting spaces, children with various abilities can play with each other, and at the same time, they can interact witheach other. Second, all children can cooperate and play without distinction between children with disabilities and non-disabled children. Finally, the guardian provides the conditions for efficient support so that the disabled child can fully enjoy the inclusive playground.

  • The demand for medical care and welfare for patients with disabilities is expanding, and healthcare professionals are also increasingly interested in the need for medical care for patients with disabilities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the competency of disabled patients' management and the education experience of dental hygiene students, who are the main players of oral health care for disabled patients. A total of 196 students in the dental hygiene department and 3rd and 4th grade students were surveyed using questionnaires. As a result, most of the students had a positive awareness of disabled patients; 84.7% answered with the need to train dental hygienists in specializing in handicapped patients, 76.5% were willing to attend seminars related to disabled patients after graduation, and 71.4% of the students provided dental treatment for patients with disabilities in curriculum and comparative curriculum. The students who provided treatment for disabled patients showed that their competence in most areas of knowledge of disabled patients, oral health education, and oral disease prevention was highly evaluated as significant. The competence of respondents who answered that the theoretical education was sufficient was significantly higher. Based on this, institutional support for the education of dentistry for disabled patients is needed, and sufficient theoretical education and practical training should be offered to foster personnel capable of contributing to the improvement in the oral health of patients with disabilities. In addition, in-depth discussions on the training of dental hygienists specialized in handicapped patients should be conducted.

  • This research analyzed articles about the disability under the 「The Disabled Person Welfare Law」 in a major daily newspaper. A total of 7,684 articles on disability were collected from homepages of the three newspapers , , and . Through network text analysis and content analysis, we considered about "The perspective of Disability" based on "Multiple Disability Model". As a result of this research, when comparing individual models versus social models, individual models have a higher rate 64.31% than social models 35.69%. According to the newspapers, the major perception of Disability is a traditional individual model, which means disability must be solved by individuals. In addition, due to low social and institutional supports, the public's attention and consideration required for the disabled, socially weak people. This research implied that despite the changing times of looking at disability, three newspapers are still staying in the traditional paradigm. Therefore, It is required that viewing a disability from the perspective on disabled people, and a mature awareness that recognizes the diversity of individual needs. The significance of this study can be found in the fact that no attempt has been made to treat the disability perspectivec in newspaper articles as quantitative and qualitative data.
