As health care practitioners, it is important to have an understanding of the common barriers to and facilitators of the rehabilitation services we provide.
This article aimed to review the relevant literature regarding barriers to and facilitators of rehabilitation services for people with disabilities.
Articles for the period 1990-2010 using descriptors related to rehabilitation services, barriers, facilitators and the physically disabled population were retrieved for this review.
A total of 19 article titles were identified from references of other articles but following application of the inclusion criteria selected for this review, only six articles were chosen. Five of these articles were qualitative studies and one was a quantitative study. Barriers and facilitators regarding rehabilitation services highlighted by participants in the studies included a perception that health professionals have a lack of understanding of rehabilitation for people with disabilities and there was a lack of information sharing from health professionals about the rehabilitation process. On the other hand some participants reported that health professionals demonstrated confidence in the disability and rehabilitation process during consultation and highlighted that their needs were met by the rehabilitation professionals.
Even though there were few studies highlighting the barriers to and facilitators of rehabilitation services, they highlighted that there are gaps in the process of rehabilitation services provided. It would be advisable for health professionals to take cognisance of the issues highlighted in this study in order to make rehabilitation services more effective.
作为医疗从业者，了解我们所提供的康复服务的常见障碍和促进因素非常重要。
本文旨在综述有关残疾人康复服务障碍和促进因素的相关文献。
检索1990年至2010年期间使用与康复服务、障碍、促进因素和身体残疾人群相关描述词的文章进行本次综述。
从其他文章的参考文献中总共识别出19篇文章标题，但在应用为本综述选定的纳入标准后，仅选择了6篇文章。其中5篇文章为定性研究，1篇为定量研究。研究参与者强调的康复服务障碍和促进因素包括：认为卫生专业人员对残疾人康复缺乏了解，且卫生专业人员在康复过程中缺乏信息共享。另一方面，一些参与者报告称，卫生专业人员在咨询过程中对残疾和康复过程表现出信心，并强调康复专业人员满足了他们的需求。
尽管很少有研究强调康复服务的障碍和促进因素，但这些研究突出表明，所提供的康复服务过程中存在差距。卫生专业人员应认识到本研究中突出的问题，以便使康复服务更有效。
