Abstract
GARCIA-PUELLO, Floralinda et al. Restrictions on persons with disabilities for participating in family and community activities. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.1, pp.62-68. Epub Mar 06, 2021. ISSN 0124-0064. https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v22n1.80515.
Objective
To identify the influence of functional impairments and limitations activities for persons with disabilities to particípate in family and community activities.
Methods
This is a cross-sectional study with 4 044 persons with disabilities, selected using probabilistic sampling and a door-to-door active search model in 5 towns in the District of Barranquilla. The data were processed with univariate analysis and bivariate analysis to determine the relationship between the study variables.
Results
55.9% of the population were males, 41.6% were between 15 and 44 years of age, and 92.9% belonged to the lower socioeconomic stratum. 82.9% reported mobility limitations and 99% reported barriers to access non-formal learning activities, 98.6% to access public activities, and 97.5% to access productive activities. Individuals with that a lower limitation in exercising the power of reason, particularly thinking, can increase participation in activities with family and friends (OR, 0.8; 95% CI, 0.6-0.9), with the community (OR, 0.7; 95% CI, 0.6-0.9), religious or spiritual activities (OR, 0.8; 95% CI, 0.7-0.9).
Conclusions
There is a directly proportional relationship between structural impairment with the development of dependency and limited family, social, and work participation in the persons with disabilities.
