An assessment was made of the attitude of the Yoruba of Western Nigeria to visual, auditory and physical handicaps in children. The results indicate that although a good number of the Yoruba community exhibits positive attitudes to handicaps in children, significant differences were observed between the attitudes of the Western-educated élite and their illiterate counterparts living in traditional settings. The Western-educated group is less favourably disposed to handicaps in children than their counterparts in the traditional settings. Finally, there is a need for public education about the ascertainment of handicaps in children, their care and education. Nurses have a major role to play in this regard.
对尼日利亚西部约鲁巴人对儿童视觉、听觉和身体残疾的态度进行了评估。结果表明，尽管相当一部分约鲁巴社区对儿童残疾持积极态度，但在接受西方教育的精英阶层和生活在传统环境中的文盲阶层的态度之间，观察到了显著差异。与传统环境中的同龄人相比，接受西方教育的群体对儿童残疾的态度不太有利。最后，有必要对公众进行关于儿童残疾的确定、护理和教育的教育。护士在这方面可以发挥重要作用。
