To investigate the role that rehabilitation professionals play in the rehabilitation of children with disabilities in the rural and under-resourced community of Giyani in South Africa.
A qualitative, exploratory and descriptive approach was used. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews were used to collect data from a convenient sample of eight rehabilitation professionals. Data were transcribed verbatim by two trained students and verified by the main researcher. An inductive approach to qualitative data analysis was used. and open coding were used to generate codes.
Analysis of data resulted in 21 codes, 9 subcategories, 5 categories and 1 theme. The role of rehabilitation professionals was described in terms of the five categories which are to newborn babies and children at risk, caregivers of children with disabilities, impart for caregivers of children with disabilities, children with disabilities and conduct in communities where the children with disabilities reside.
The role that rehabilitation professionals play in the rural and under-resourced community of Giyani in South Africa is similar to the role played in high-income countries. The role that rehabilitation professionals play is not only focused on the child but also on the family.
探讨康复专业人员在南非吉亚尼农村及资源匮乏社区残疾儿童康复中所起的作用。
采用定性、探索性和描述性方法。通过半结构化面对面访谈，从八名康复专业人员的便利样本中收集数据。数据由两名经过培训的学生逐字转录，并由主要研究人员核实。采用归纳法进行定性数据分析，并使用开放式编码生成代码。
数据分析产生了21个代码、9个亚类别、5个类别和1个主题。康复专业人员的作用从五个类别进行了描述，即照顾有风险的新生儿和儿童、照顾残疾儿童的照料者、为残疾儿童的照料者提供培训、照顾残疾儿童以及在残疾儿童居住的社区开展宣传。
康复专业人员在南非吉亚尼农村及资源匮乏社区所起的作用与在高收入国家所起的作用相似。康复专业人员所起的作用不仅关注儿童，也关注家庭。
