Özet

Objective: To investigate the difficulties experienced by wheelchair users and to determine the relative impact of environmental barriers compared with demographic data and disability. Material and Methods: The study included 92 individuals who had received initial rehabilitation between January 2015 and January 2017 at Ankara Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital, Turkey for wheelchair use because of multiple sclerosis, spastic paraparesis, cerebral palsy and transverse myelitis diagnoses. Face-to-face interviews were conducted and the extent of the disability was measured using the Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting TechniqueShort Form, functional independence was assessed with the Functional Independence Measurement and the Beck Depression Inventory was completed by all participants. Results: Age, gender, marital status and presence of social support did not seem to be associated with functional independence, handicap and depression scores. The type of wheelchair and duration of wheelchair use were found to be associated with handicap scores. In the comparison of two groups who had difficulty at home or not, a significant difference was determined in the functional independence scores, and in wheelchair use outside the home, a significant difference was determined between the groups in respect of functional independence, depression and handicap scores. Conclusion: Most of the difficulties experienced were related to handicap and functional independence scores and the vast majority of the participants reported that there was a need for architectural changes in the place where they lived. Further efforts to eliminate environmental barriers will help to make life easier for wheelchair users.

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, tekerlekli sandalye kullanıcılarının yaşadıkları zorlukları ve etkileyen çevresel faktörleri, demografik özellikler ve özürlülük ile birlikte ortaya koymaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya, Ocak 2015-Ocak 2017 tarihleri arasında Türkiye Ankara Fizik Tedavi ve Rehabilitasyon Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesinde, rehabilitasyon programına alınan ve multipl skleroz, spastik paraparezi, serebral palsi ve transvers miyelit tanıları nedeniyle tekerlekli iskemle kullanan 92 hasta dâhil edilmiştir. Tüm katılımcılara, Craig Handikap Değerlendirme ve Bildirme Teknik Kısa Formu, Fonksiyonel Bağımsızlık Ölçeği ve Beck Depresyon Ölçeği yüz yüze görüşmelerle uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Yaş, cinsiyet, medeni durum ve sosyal destek varlığı; fonksiyonel bağımsızlık, handikap ve depresyon skorlarıyla ilişkili bulunmamıştır. Tekerlekli sandalye tipi, kullanma süresi, handikap skorları ile ilişkili bulunmuştur. Evde zorluk yaşayanlar ile yaşamayanlar arasında fonksiyonel bağımsızlık skorları açısından farklılık saptanmıştır. Dışarıda tekerlekli iskemle kullanımı açısından ise zorluk yaşayan ve zorluk yaşamayan gruplar arasında fonksiyonel bağımsızlık, depresyon ve handikap skorları açısından farklılık saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Hastaların yaşadıkları birçok zorluk, handikap ve fonksiyonel bağımsızlık skorları ile ilişkilidir. Birçok hasta, yaşadıkları ortamda mimari değişiklik gereksiniminden bahsetmişlerdir. Geleceğe yönelik çabalar ile çevresel engeller ortadan kaldırılıp, tekerlekli sandalye kullanıcılarının hayatı kolaylaştırılabilir.
