Having a positive sense of self is associated with success for children and adults, with and without disabilities. This article reports on a cross-sectional study examining the correlates of global self-worth for 85 young people (ages eight to 23) with spina bifida (a condition present at birth) or spinal cord injury (an acquired condition). Significant correlations were found between perceptions of self-worth and age, perceived social support of close friends, and perceived social support from parents. Regression analysis revealed that perceived social support from parents was a stronger predictor of self-worth than gender, age, or diagnosis (onset of disability). Implications of this study for social work practice are discussed.
对儿童和成人而言，无论有无残疾，拥有积极的自我认知都与成功相关。本文报告了一项横断面研究，该研究调查了85名患有脊柱裂（一种先天性疾病）或脊髓损伤（一种后天性疾病）的年轻人（年龄在8岁至23岁之间）的总体自我价值的相关因素。研究发现，自我价值感与年龄、亲密朋友给予的感知到的社会支持以及父母给予的感知到的社会支持之间存在显著相关性。回归分析表明，父母给予的感知到的社会支持比性别、年龄或诊断（残疾发病情况）更能预测自我价值。本文还讨论了该研究对社会工作实践的启示。
