| description | Background: Participation is an important component in a child’s growth,
which is not just affected by child’s functional abilities, skills, interests and
family culture; but also affected by the physical, social and institutional
environment. Hearing and visual impairment in children may cause growth
delay including cognitive, mobility and communication skills. The aim of this
study was to compare the environmental barriers to social participation from
parent perception in primary-school children with hearing/visual impairment
and normal ones in Shiraz City (2015).
Methods: This was a cross-sectional and comparative study. Convenience
sampling was used and 75 children with visual, hearing impairment and
normal ones (25 in each group) were selected from 4 areas of Shiraz Schools.
Demographic data and environmental factors of Craig Hospital questionnaire
were used. The findings were analyzed by using SPSS 21 software with One-way
ANOVA and post hoc tests at a significant level less than 0.05.
Results: The results did not show statistically significant difference in the
environmental barriers to participation from parent perception among three
groups of normal children, children with hearing/ visual impairment (P=0.12).
Moreover, there was no statistically significant difference between three groups
of children in terms of the physical and structural barriers subscales (P=0.341),
attitudes and support (P=0.424), services and help (P=0.115), work and school
(P=0.221). However, there is a significant difference between the 3 groups in
Policy barriers subscales (P=0.003).
Conclusion: No differences in environmental barriers to participation between
normal children and those with hearing/visual impairments can be resulted
from excessive families’ support to meet the needs of children with disabilities.
Therefore, serious challenges may not be created for independent participation
of children to reveal the existing barriers. |
