Housing conditions as a determinant of the quality of life of disabled people, based on the example of people with sight dysfunctionOne of the basic needs of a person is to have a place to live. Virtually everyone dreams of having their own place, to relax and feel safe. Such a space is an important place for people with disabilities, because it is often the only place that is tailored to their needs, where they feel safer than in any other spaces. Every citizen of the country has the right to housing, which is provided by numerous docu­ments and regulations.The purpose of this article is to evaluate the impact of housing conditions on the quality of life of people with disabilities. The following thesis has been formulated in the work: the disabled aim to improve the quality of their lives by changing housing conditions.Literature sources have been reviewed to define basic concepts, the results of previous studies have been correlated. After accessing the database, the results of the research carried out in March 2015 by the foundation “Nie widzę problemu” literally meaning “I do not see the problem” with involvement of employees and students of the University of Wroclaw have been compiled.The analysis shows that respondents most often live together with their parents and spend a large part of their income on purchases related to household appliances. As much as 60% of re­spondents do not own a flat. Approximately 68% find the buildings they live in are not suited to their needs, however only 23% of them try to get social housing.Translated by Karolina Riemel

e23113 Background: Most studies report that tumor related pain occurs between 46% and 92%. The prevalence of pain by clinical stage is 15% in initial stages, 30% in middle stages, 74% in metastatic cancer and, 87% in terminal disease. In the face of chronic diseases such as cancer, patient's relationships with their social networks are affected; among them the interpersonal relationships between the patient and his networks and these towards the patient. With this, the patient’s quality of life is affected. Most of the recent studies on health-related quality of life come from pharmaceutical groups, so it is necessary for other groups to be vigorously involved in the study of the effect of medical interventions on the quality of life, as well as on the impact on health and on the social support of patients with chronic diseases. Methods: In order to obtain the data, validated questionnaires were used as instruments to evaluate the quality of life, measuring psychosocial and health variables, as well as for the detection of the type and quality of psychosocial support perceived by the subjects. The instruments were applied to 207 patients of the Oncology Service of the University Center Against Cancer of the University Hospital “Dr. Jose Eleuterio Gonzalez” in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, during a session of 25 to 30 minutes. Results: Data were collected from 207 patients with chronic oncological pain. The satisfaction index with psychosocial support had a high linear correlation ( r = .640) with the quality of life index. On the other hand, the number of caregivers was not correlated with this last index. Fatigue was the symptom most frequently associated with a decrease in the quality of life index. In addition, pain correlated with all variables except the cognitive index. Conclusions: Satisfaction with the perceived social support is a factor associated with the quality of life in patients with chronic oncological pain; however, the number of caregivers is not. There was no relationship between the size of the network and satisfaction with it. Also, the symptoms associated with chronic oncological pain affect quality of life, identity and social functionality and roles, which in turn impact on the quality of life perceived by patients.

Chronic Inflammatory Bowel

Introduction: Chronic inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic lifelong disease with various triggers, intermediate longer and shorter remissions. Parents need to know what kind of nutrition the child with chronic inflammatory bowel disease needs because they must be able to make the right decisions regarding the child‘s diet. The right choice of diet gives a child enough energy in their daily and enables the quality life. They must enjoy a healthy balanced diet so that they receive all the nutrients the body needs. In our work, we presented chronic inflammatory bowel disease in children and parents’ assessment of the child’s quality of life. Methods: We chose a quantitative methodology to establish the impact of diet on the quality of life of the child with chronic inflammatory bowel disease. To describe and define the problem, we used a descriptive method. A structured measurement instrument was based on a review of the relevant foreign and domestic literature. Statistical data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Data were collected by a non-random and occasional sampling survey. Results: We found that most children whose parents participated in this research have Crohn’s disease (n = 20; 50%) and ulcerative colitis (n = 16; 40%). The type of food that is harmful to the child is fatty food (n = 33; 83%), followed by spicy food (n = 32; 80%) and acidic food (n = 10; 25%). According to the parents’ assessment, children with chronic inflammatory bowel disease have good (n = 22; 55%) health. We found that physicians provide parents with the most necessary nutrition information. Through evaluation of the parents, we found that there is no statistically significant correlation between the general assessment of a child’s health and the type of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (X² (2) = 5.925, p = 0.052). Also, there is no statistically significant correlation between the eating pattern and parents ’assessment of their child’s quality of life (U = 38.00, p. = 1.00). Discussion: The health care providers have an important role to play in giving appropriate information to parents to ensure the quality of life of the child. She teaches parents and children about living with chronic inflammatory bowel disease and emphasizes the importance of nutrition, which greatly contributes to a better quality of life.

The situation of people with disabilities on the labor market varies and depends on a number of problems depending both on the situation and the degree of their disability, the employer and the wider environment. The work presents issues related to the employment of disabled people both in the open and protected labor market. It also considers number of benefits resulting from the creation and adaptation of the workplace for a person with incomplete performance on the open labor market based on legal provisions in this area. Many people with disabilities work or want to work professionally despite health restrictions, drawing satisfaction from it. Professional work is a significant source of income, it is a basic factor of economic independence that favors the integration of disabled people into society, and above all it is the process of vocational rehabilitation. Work gives you the chance to become independent, improve your standard of living, enhance your values and raise your prestige. The possibility to guarantee people with disabilities the right to work in favorable conditions and on an equal basis without discrimination has become one of the basic guidelines for the employment policy of the disabled. The provisions of the law both Polish and EU under special protection include: working time, additional breaks at work, the right to leave and layoffs for the time of performing the necessary tests – treated as privileges of the disabled during employment.

The Relationship

The United Nations exclaims "all human beings have the right to be treated with dignity and respect" (Annan, 2005, p. 34). Yet, disabled people have long been denied respect in the United States and have been subjected to disability oppression and ableism. For these reasons, the aim of this study was to explore the relationship between respect and disability, particularly respect's impact on the quality of life of disabled people. We had two research questions: (1.) what factors predict disabled people being respected? and, (2.) how does being respected impact the quality of life of disabled people? To explore these questions, we used secondary Personal Outcome Measures® data from approximately 1,500 disabled people; we analyzed this data to examine relationships between disabled people's interpretations of feeling and being respected, and their quality of life. Our findings revealed being respected had a significant impact on every area of ones' quality of life. Problematically, this also included areas which should be considered non-negotiable fundamental human and civil rights, that should not depend on if, and how, people respect disabled people. While the attitudes underlying the disrespect of disabled people are harmful and problematic, human and civil rights should be inalienable – ones' access to exercise their rights, to safety, to health, and to many other domains should not depend on others' attitudes about, and treatment toward, you.
