BACKGROUND
The prime concern for an individual with disability is independence. Self-help groups (SHGs) provide opportunities for those with such needs.
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the study were (i) to assess the impact of SHGs on the livelihood, social inclusion, and community participation of those with disability and (ii) to evaluate the self-esteem and assess the role of such SHGs among those with disability.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This was a community-based, cross-sectional study. An interview schedule captured responses to standardized questionnaires (community-based rehabilitation assessment tool, Rosenberg's self-esteem score, and Social Inclusion Scale). Responses were scored and compared among the two groups of those with disability (member or nonmember of SHGs).
RESULTS
The median scores for all our outcome variables were found to be more among those with disabilities enrolled in SHGs than those who were not with a significant association in the component of empowerment, sociocommunity participation, social inclusion, and self-esteem.
CONCLUSION
SHGs improve social and community participation of individuals with disability. It empowers them to lead independent lives and also contributes to social inclusion.
背景
残疾人最关心的是独立性。自助团体为有此类需求的人提供了机会。
目的
本研究的目的是（i）评估自助团体对残疾人的生计、社会融入和社区参与的影响，以及（ii）评估残疾人的自尊，并评估此类自助团体在残疾人中的作用。
材料与方法
这是一项基于社区的横断面研究。一份访谈提纲记录了对标准化问卷（社区康复评估工具、罗森伯格自尊得分和社会融入量表）的回答。对两组残疾人（自助团体成员或非成员）的回答进行评分并比较。
结果
我们发现，所有结果变量的中位数得分在加入自助团体的残疾人中比未加入的残疾人更高，在赋权、社会社区参与、社会融入和自尊等方面有显著关联。
结论
自助团体改善了残疾人的社会和社区参与。它使他们能够过上独立生活，也有助于社会融入。
