This study identified the acceptance of disability's impact on self-esteem among adults with disabilities in South Korea. This is a four-year follow-up study that obtained data from the Panel Survey of Employment for Persons with Disabilities from 2017 to 2020. In total, 3329 individuals participated. Logistic regression examined the acceptance of disability's effect on self-esteem. These variables were categorized based on the acceptance of disability (high→high, low→high, high→low, and low→low) and self-esteem (low and not low). Compared to the participants with a consistently high acceptance of disability, those with constantly low acceptance were 2.35 times (95% CI 1.81-3.04) more likely to have low self-esteem. When the acceptance of disability was low→high and high→low, the low self-esteem probability was 1.23 and 1.66 times, respectively. Low self-esteem was prominent for the following: men, 50-64-year olds, married, urban, economic activists, the mid-low household income category, and those with sensory disability. Acceptance of disability can adversely affect self-esteem when it is consistently low or changes from high to low. Among socio-economic factors, there were several risk factors that could make individuals more vulnerable to low self-esteem. Therefore, it is necessary to help people accept their disabilities to maintain healthy self-esteem levels.
本研究旨在探讨韩国成年残疾人对残疾影响的接受程度对自尊的影响。这是一项为期四年的随访研究，数据来源于 2017 年至 2020 年的残疾人就业情况面板调查。共有 3329 人参与了此项研究。使用逻辑回归分析残疾影响接受程度对自尊的影响。这些变量根据残疾接受程度（高→高、低→高、高→低和低→低）和自尊（低和不低）进行分类。与持续高度接受残疾的参与者相比，持续低度接受残疾的参与者自尊较低的可能性高 2.35 倍（95%CI：1.81-3.04）。当残疾接受程度为低→高和高→低时，低自尊的概率分别为 1.23 倍和 1.66 倍。以下因素易导致低自尊：男性、50-64 岁、已婚、城市、经济活动者、中低收入家庭、感官残疾。当残疾接受程度持续较低或从高到低变化时，会对自尊产生不利影响。在社会经济因素方面，有几个风险因素可能使个体更容易出现低自尊。因此，有必要帮助人们接受残疾，以保持健康的自尊水平。
