目的 很少有研究试图审查残疾青年的健康促进需求。本文报告了自我报告的残疾与各种健康行为(吸烟和饮酒,体育活动,久坐活动)心理社会结果和学校满意度之间的关联。 方法 整群分层随机抽样与横断面描述性设计相结合,以获得3918名就读于新南威尔士州(澳大利亚)6年级(小学),8年级和10年级(高中)的学生,完成自填式问卷。 结果 该学生样本中自我报告的残疾患病率为5.8%。最常报告的残疾是身体、感官和学习残疾。残疾学生报告的健康和教育成果与身体健全的同龄人相似。然而,他们也报告了较低的学校满意度,更多的自愿缺勤,更容易喝醉或吸烟。残疾学生报告的心理社会困扰程度较高。他们也和其他学生一样活跃,但也花更多的时间从事久坐不动的活动。 结论 自报残疾的学生表现出的态度和行为与对与学校社区疏远的学生的研究一致。需要采取以社区为基础的健康促进干预措施来解决这些问题,以防止继发性疾病或其他残疾的发生。
PURPOSE Few research studies have sought to examine the health promotion needs of young people with disabilities. This paper reports the association between self-reported disability and various health behaviours (tobacco and alcohol use, physical activity, sedentary activities) psycho-social outcomes and school satisfaction. METHOD Cluster stratified random sampling was combined with a cross-sectional descriptive design to obtain 3918 school students attending year 6 (primary school), year 8 and year 10 (high school) throughout New South Wales (Australia), to complete a self-administered questionnaire. RESULTS The prevalence of self-reported disability among this student sample was 5.8%. The most frequently reported disabilities were physical, sensory and learning disabilities. Students with disabilities reported similar health and educational outcomes as their able-bodied peers. However, they also reported lower levels of school satisfaction, greater voluntary absenteeism and were more likely to get drunk or smoke cigarettes. Students with disabilities reported higher levels of psycho-social distress. They were also as physically active as other students, but also spent more time engaged in sedentary activities. CONCLUSION Students with self-reported disabilities exhibit attitudes and behaviours that are consistent with studies of students who are alienated from their school communities. Community-based health promotion interventions are required to address these issues in order to prevent the onset of secondary disease processes or additional disability.
