ABSTRACT
Introduction and objective:
The disabled are a group with a heterogeneous structure of causes and needs. The occurring physical, health, and social barriers constitute areas of public health. Assessment of these barriers requires systematic studies in order to use results supporting the tasks of public health, indispensable for pursuing the challenges of sustainable development. The aim of the study was to discuss the selected demographic, social, living and housing, as well as economic characteristics of the disabled rural and urban inhabitants, which are important for shaping the tasks of public health.
Material and methods:
The study group consisted of 676 disabled aged 19 – 98 years, including 56.4% of females and 43.6% of males, 38.0% of whom lived in rural areas. The disabled were qualified into a study group by the method of targeted sampling. The research instruments were an author-constructed Disability Questionnaire, and the Research Protocol. Statistical analysis was performed using the software IBM SPSS Statistics v. 27. The p values p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results:
The level of risk of the phenomenon of disability was similar among both males and females. Higher risk was observed among widows and widowers, females with a low level of education, the disabled in older age groups, as well as those living in rural areas, maintaining themselves on non-earned sources of income, and running a single person household. The main causes of disability were diseases.
Conclusions:
1. The majority of the population in the study were disabled with a legal grade of disability. 2. The analyzed characteristics fell within two groups: demographic and social, and health characteristics with difficult to separate health and social problems. 3. The most important problems in the area of public health were specified. 4. It is necessary to conduct studies considering demographic and social variables in order to level-up health inequalities between the disabled and those able-bodied. Effective solving of barriers and risks embedded in the social, family, and occupational situation prevents secondary disability, and also provides an opportunity for sustainable development in this population group.
