Hasil studi pendahuluan yang dilakukan menunjukkan masih banyak orang tua yang minder dan malu dengan keadaan anak mereka. Selain itu, masih banyak orang tua yang tidak menyekolahkan dan tidak mengetahui informasi terkait terapi untuk anak dengan disabilitas. Jika hal tersebut dibiarkan, maka dapat menyebabkan masalah yang serius, seperti terganggunya tumbuh kembang anak dan kebutuhan keluarga dengan anak disabilitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui gambaran kebutuhan keluarga dengan anak disabilitas di Komunitas Ikatan Keluarga dengan Anak Disabilitas Desa Cimekar Kecamatan Cileunyi Kabupaten Bandung. Penelitian menggunakan deskriptif kuantitatif dengan teknik pengambilan sampel total sampling dari 31 keluarga (ayah dan ibu).

Analisis data menggunakan persentase nilai setiap domain dan rerata skor yang dihitung dengan menggunakan nilai minimal dan maksimal (1-3) dari setiap item pertanyaan dari setiap sub-kebutuhan. Hasil menunjukkan kebutuhan ibu jika diurutkan dari tertinggi ke terendah adalah kebutuhan informasi dan dukungan profesional 71,0%, pelayanan komunitas 64,5%, menjelaskan kepada orang lain 38,7%, kebutuhan finansial 22,6%, perawatan anak 16,1%, dan dukungan keluarga/sosial 12,9%. Kebutuhan ayah dari tertinggi ke terendah yaitu kebutuhan informasi 71,0%, pelayanan komunitas 64,5%, dukungan profesional 61,0%, menjelaskan kepada orang lain 45,2%, kebutuhan finansial 29,0%, perawatan anak 22,6%, dan dukungan keluarga/sosial 19,4%.

The universal experience of parents with a child with disabilities are added responsibilities and needs in supporting the child’s development. This study assessed the nature and extent of needs identified by parents of children with disabilities in Turkey using a Turkish translation of the Family Needs Survey (Bailey, Blasco & Simeonsson, 1992). The survey of 35 items and two open-ended questions was translated to reflect Turkish culture and linguistic equivalency. The psychometric properties of the Family Needs Survey were examined by administering it to 377 mothers and 297 fathers of children with disabilities, served in special education schools or rehabilitation centres. Factor analysis of data for mothers and fathers yielded a six-factor model explaining 56% and 61% of the variance, respectively. Alpha values for the factors of the survey ranged from .63 to .90 for the mother data set, and .80 to .91 for the father data set. Analyses of endorsed needs in the Family Needs Survey revealed an overall similar profile for both parents, with greater needs expressed for the factors of obtaining information, family and social support and community services than for factors pertaining to financial topics, explaining to others and child care. Mothers and fathers identified 35 additional needs reflecting themes of personal and societal concern related to parenting a child with disabilities in Turkey.

Aim. To analyze the medical and social characteristics of children's disability at the stage of primary medical and social care in the polyclinics of Kazan. Methods. 185 case reports of development of children with disabilities aged 0 to 17 years were analyzed as well as the questionnaires for their parents and 96 case reports of healthy peers of the same age group based on the data from children polyclinics N. 9 and 7 of Kazan. Relative values were calculated to process the results. Results. The conducted analysis revealed that children with the status of disabled persons were more often born in aged and young mothers, with pathological pregnancy and first birth. In the structure of disability causes, psychiatric disorders and nervous system diseases are prevailing. Disabled children acquire acute diseases more often than their healthy peers that causes additional expanses for the family, including those due to the care for acutely ill child, and requires additional provision with medications. Individual lessons in the rehabilitation of a child with disabilities require additional financial investments from the family budget. We revealed the need for implementation of educational courses for the parents of disabled children due to that every second family did not have specific knowledge and skills of care and rehabilitation, when a child had functional limitations found. Conclusion. Families with children with disabilities in the status of a disabled child need additional assistance in solving medical and social problems.

The aim of the present study was to explore the nature, extent and probable causes of nutritional deficiencies among children with disabilities living in Dharavi, a slum in Mumbai, India. A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate whether the nutritional status of children with disabilities, aged 2–6 years (n141), was worse than that of non-disabled sibling controls (n122) and neighbour controls (n162). Data on food patterns, anthropometry, micronutrient status and feeding difficulties reported by parents were collected. The mean weight for age of the children with disabilities (−2·44 (sd 1·39)Zscores;n120) was significantly lower (P<0·05) compared with the sibling (−1·70 (sd 1·20)Zscores;n109) and neighbour (−1·83 (sd 1·290)Zscores;n162) control groups. The children with disabilities had significantly lower (P<0·05) mean haemoglobin levels (92 (sd 23) g/l;n134) compared with siblings (102 (sd 18) g/l;n103) and neighbours (99 (sd 18) g/l;n153). Relative risk (RR) analysis indicated that the disabled children with feeding difficulties were significantly more likely (P<0·05) to be malnourished, by the indicator of weight for age (RR 1·1; 95 % CI 1·08, 1·20) compared with the disabled children without a feeding difficulty. They were also significantly more likely to be malnourished using the indicators of height for age (RR 1·3; 95 % CI 1·19, 1·43) and weight for height (RR 2·4; 95 % CI 1·78, 3·23) compared with the disabled children without a feeding difficulty. Feeding difficulties were identified as a risk factor for vulnerability to inadequate nutritional status among children with disabilities.
