接受高等教育的“持久自由行动”、“伊拉克自由行动”和“新黎明行动”的退伍军人可能会遇到残疾,影响他们成功参与学术环境。为残疾大学生提供便利,以提供在这种环境中取得成功的机会,但为了获得这些便利,学生必须披露自己的残疾情况并告知机构他们的需求。因此,了解残疾退伍军人学生的自我倡导技能是可能影响其学业成功的因素至关重要。学生退伍军人自我倡导技能评估 (SV-SASA) 是对残疾学生退伍军人自我倡导技能的评估。对残疾学生退伍军人支持教育计划的 49 名参与者进行了回归分析,以调查解释他们自我倡导技能和学业成绩的因素,并评估 SV-SASA 的心理测量特性。结果表明,第一代身份、退伍军人学生接受支持教育计划的程度、尝试修读的学分数量以及自我报告的健康状况数量解释了残疾学生退伍军人的自我倡导技能。结果还表明,具有更强自我倡导能力的退伍军人学生取得了更高的平均绩点。 SV-SASA 展示了足够的心理测量特性作为样本中自我倡导技能的评估。讨论了对在高等教育环境中与该人群合作的服务提供者的影响以及对未来研究的建议。
Veterans of Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation New Dawn enrolled in postsecondary education may experience disabilities that impact their successful participation in the academic environment. Accommodations are made available to college students with disabilities to provide opportunities for success in this environment, but in order to receive these accommodations it is essential that the student discloses their disability and informs the institution of their needs. Therefore, it is critical to understand the self-advocacy skills of student veterans with disabilities as a factor that may influence their academic success. The Student Veteran Self-Advocacy Skills Assessment (SV-SASA) is an assessment of self-advocacy skills among student veterans with disabilities. Regression analysis was conducted on a sample of 49 participants in a supported education program for student veterans with disabilities to investigate factors that explain their self-advocacy skills and academic performance, and to evaluate the psychometric properties of the SV-SASA. Results indicated that first-generation status, extent of exposure to a supported education program for student veterans, number of credits attempted, and number of self-reported health conditions explain the self-advocacy skills of student veterans with disabilities. Results also indicated that student veterans with greater self-advocacy skills achieved a higher grade point average. The SV-SASA demonstrated adequate psychometric properties as an assessment of self-advocacy skills in the sample. Implications for service providers in the postsecondary education setting working with this population and suggestions for future research are discussed.
