The phenomenon of disability in society is as ancient as human history itself. Approximately one billion people worldwide experience some form of disability, with a fifth of these individuals facing significant disabilities. Disability affects various life dimensions, including access to health services. This study aimed to identify the needs and challenges encountered by people with disabilities and to propose solutions for these issues.
This qualitative content analysis research was conducted at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in 2019. Participants included faculty members from the rehabilitation school, senior students, therapists, disabled individuals, and their families (23 interviews in total). These participants were chosen for their extensive knowledge of the challenges faced by people with disabilities. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, with informed consent obtained before each interview. The interviews were analyzed using the Graneheim and Lundman content analysis method and MAXQDA software. To ensure data accuracy, the criteria of conformability, credibility, dependability, and transferability were applied.
The analysis of the interviews yielded two main categories and 10 subcategories. In the category of disability-related problems, family problems, therapeutic problems, psychological problems, academic problems, and social problems were identified as the most significant. As for solutions, educational solutions, therapeutic solutions, social solutions, research solutions, and solutions for reintegrating patients into normal life were proposed to address the problems faced by disabled individuals.
People with disabilities are an integral part of any country's society. To adequately address their therapeutic needs, it is essential to equip our health workers with the knowledge and skills tailored to the specific needs and challenges of disabled individuals.
社会中的残疾现象与人类历史本身一样古老。全球约有10亿人经历某种形式的残疾，其中五分之一的人面临严重残疾。残疾影响生活的各个方面，包括获得医疗服务。本研究旨在确定残疾人所面临的需求和挑战，并针对这些问题提出解决方案。
这项定性内容分析研究于2019年在伊斯法罕医科大学进行。参与者包括康复学校的教职员工、高年级学生、治疗师、残疾人士及其家人（共23次访谈）。选择这些参与者是因为他们对残疾人所面临的挑战有广泛的了解。进行了半结构化访谈，每次访谈前均获得了知情同意。使用格兰内海姆和伦德曼内容分析法及MAXQDA软件对访谈进行分析。为确保数据准确性，应用了一致性、可信度、可靠性和可转移性标准。
访谈分析产生了两个主要类别和10个子类别。在与残疾相关的问题类别中，家庭问题、治疗问题、心理问题、学业问题和社会问题被确定为最主要的问题。至于解决方案，提出了教育解决方案、治疗解决方案、社会解决方案、研究解决方案以及使患者重新融入正常生活的解决方案，以解决残疾人面临的问题。
残疾人是任何国家社会不可或缺的一部分。为了充分满足他们的治疗需求，至关重要的是使我们的卫生工作者具备针对残疾人的特定需求和挑战的知识和技能。
