People With Physical Disabilities

This study aimed to examine the effect of social exclusion on psychological well-being and suicide possibilities among people with physical disabilities. This descriptive and cross-sectional type study was conducted among people with physical disabilities who are members of the Association of Disabled People. Data were collected using the face-to-face interview method with the “Participant Information Form,” “Social Exclusion Scale for the People with Disabilities,” “Psychological Well-Being Scale,” and “Suicide Probability Scale.” It was found that the disabled people participating in the study experienced moderate social exclusion with a score of 72.35 + 31.53, a moderate level of well-being with a score of 34.79 + 16.80, and above a moderate level of suicidal ideation with a score of 78.58 + 9.85. Also, there was a negative moderate and significant relationship between social exclusion and psychological well-being ( p < 0.01; r: −0.492), while there was a positive strong relationship between social exclusion and the possibility of suicide ( p < 0.01; r: 0.518).

Metodología: Estudio cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo, transversal, y prospectivo, utilizando las escalas de la Inteligencia emocional TMMS-24, la escala de la Resiliencia CD-RISC10 y la escala de la autoestima de Rosemberg, con un total de 100 participantes. Resultados: Las personas con discapacidad física presentan medias estadísticamente superiores en inteligencia emocional y resiliencia, aunque en autoestima las personas sin discapacidad presentan medias superiores. Discusión: Distintos autores ponen de manifiesto que las emociones juegan un papel fundamental en el bienestar de los individuos. En el caso de las enfermedades que implican discapacidad física, afectan a los diferentes aspectos de la vida de las personas, por lo tanto se hace más necesario aún el buen manejo emocional para evitar que la persona sufra mayores consecuencias físicas y/o emocionales.

La autoestima de las personas con discapacidad física, se ve mermada por la baja percepción de control independiente.

Background:Although Zumba is practiced by millions of people worldwide, there is a paucity of research about its potential benefits. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of Zumba on physiological and psychological outcomes in healthy women.Methods:Cardiovascular fitness, body composition, physical self-perception and psychological well-being were assessed before and immediately after 8 weeks of Zumba performed 3 times weekly (Zumba group, n = 22, age: 26.6 ± 5.4 years old; height: 165.8 ± 7.1 cm) or no intervention (control group, n = 22, age: 27.9 ± 6.0 years old; height: 164.7 ± 6.2 cm). All variables were analyzed by a 2-way (Group × Time) analysis of variance with repeated measures, and a Bonferroni post hoc test. Pearson correlation coefficient assessed the relationship between changes in anthropometric, physiological and psychological variables.Results:Zumba provided significant positive changes in maximal aerobic fitness (+3.6%), self-perception of physical strength (+16.3%) and muscular development (+18.6%), greater autonomy (+8.0%), and purpose in life (+4.4%). No significant changes were observed in the control group. In addition, some psychological changes were significantly correlated to body fat at baseline, and changes in fitness.Conclusions:These results highlight that Zumba is beneficial to improve fitness and well-being in healthy women, but does not change body composition.

Background: People with physical disabilities and/or chronic diseases report lower levels of physical activity and well-being than the general population, which potentially is exacerbated through the COVID-19 pandemic. This study explored the international literature on physical activity, sedentary behavior and well-being in adults with physical disabilities and/or chronic diseases during the first wave of the pandemic. Method: In a rapid review, we included studies reporting on physical activity, sedentary behavior and/or well-being in adults with physical disabilities and/or chronic diseases. Four databases (Pubmed, CINAHL, PsycInfo, Embase) were searched for studies published until 30 September 2020. Results: We included twenty-nine studies involving eleven different types of disabilities or health conditions from twenty-one different countries. Twenty-six studies reported on physical activity, of which one reported an increase during the COVID-19 pandemic, four studies reported no difference, and twenty-one studies reported a decrease. Thirteen studies reported a decline in well-being. Only one study measured sedentary behavior, reporting an increase. Conclusion: Despite the variety in methods used, almost all studies reported negative impacts on physical activity and well-being in people with physical disabilities and/or chronic disease during the first wave of the pandemic. These findings highlight the importance of supporting this population, especially in times of crisis.

ABSTRACTPhysical self-concept has shown its relation with several factors implied in both the physical and psychological well being. This has lead to the research about the possibility of its enhancement, which has surprisingly not being considered from a cognitive perspective, in spite of the implications of the cognitive factors in the personal selfperception. This work describes the design of a cognitive programme aimed to the enhancement of the physical selfconcept, explaining both its conceptual basis and structure, in order to improve the self-perception of the participants.RESUMENLa conocida relación del autoconcepto físico con factores implicados tanto en el bienestar físico como psicológico ha supuesto que la investigación se centre en las posibilidades de mejorar tal dominio del self. No obstante, y a pesar del indiscutible influjo de los factores cognitivos en la autopercepción, dicha perspectiva ha recibido escasa atención. Este trabajo describe el diseño de un programa de vertiente cognitiva dirigido a la mejora del autoconcepto físico exponiendo tanto su base conceptual como su estructura, especialmente diseñada para facilitar la mejora del autoconcepto de los participantes. Contacto principal: [email protected]
