摘要本研究旨在了解生活环境对身体残疾的低收入工作年龄成人的健康和获得医疗保健的影响。我们在哥伦比亚特区对身体残疾的参与者进行了焦点小组调查，他们分别住在三种住房环境中（无家可归者收容所、养老院和难以进入的房子或公寓）。28人参加了焦点小组。大多数是男性（79%）和非洲裔美国人（93%）。来自无家可归者收容所的参与者对收容所的无障碍和卫生设施表示担忧。养老院的参与者表达了对隐私和自主权的需求，这将促进以消费者为导向的护理。住在交通不便的公寓或房子里的参与者担心他们维持日常生活和社交活动的能力。与会者认为，无障碍住房条件是独立生活和确保其基本健康和福祉的先决条件。
The purpose of this study was to understand the impact of living environment on the health and access to health care of low-income working-age adults with physical disabilities. We conducted focus groups of participants with physical disabilities in the District of Columbia living in each of three housing situations (a homeless shelter, a nursing home, and an inaccessible house or apartment). Twenty-eight people participated in the focus groups. Most were male (79%) and African American (93%). Participants from a homeless shelter expressed concerns about accessibility and sanitation at the shelter. Nursing home participants expressed a need for privacy and autonomy that would foster consumer-directed care. Participants living in inaccessible apartments or houses worried about their ability to maintain daily living and social activities. Participants perceived barrier-free housing conditions to be a prerequisite for independent living and for ensuring their basic health and well-being.
