Abstract

Hispanics represented 18.1% of the United States population in 2017. Several factors, such as language and cultural barriers, lack of access to preventative care, and limited health resources, can impact health among Hispanics (U.S. Department of Human and Health Services Office of Minority Health, 2019). Although employment is central to physical and psychological health and well-being, unemployment rates among people with disabilities still remain lower compared to the general population (Chan et al., 2016; O’Neill et al., 2017). Regarding the unemployment rate among people with disabilities across various racial/ethnic groups, Hispanics had an unemployment rate of 8.6% compared to Blacks (11.8%), Asians (6.7%), and Whites (6.6%) in 2019 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2020). Hispanics with disabilities may face challenges in employment and VR associated with their dual-minority status. This scoping review addresses this population to gain a deeper insight into Hispanics with disabilities’ VR experiences to guide vocational rehabilitation practitioners in improving outreach efforts and enhancing VR service provision and quality, to better serve the Hispanic disability community.
西班牙裔残疾人的职业康复服务:优势、挑战和机遇
2017年,拉美裔占美国人口的18.1%。有几个因素,如语言和文化障碍,缺乏获得预防性保健的机会,以及有限的卫生资源,都会影响西班牙裔美国人的健康(美国人类和卫生服务部少数民族健康办公室,2019年)。尽管就业对身心健康和福祉至关重要,但与一般人群相比,残疾人的失业率仍然较低(Chan et al., 2016;O’neill et al., 2017)。从不同种族/族裔的残疾人失业率来看,2019年拉美裔的失业率为8.6%,高于黑人(11.8%)、亚裔(6.7%)和白人(6.6%)。(美国劳工统计局,2020年)。西班牙裔残疾人士可能面临与双少数民族身份相关的就业和VR挑战。本研究旨在深入了解西班牙裔残疾人的虚拟现实体验,以指导职业康复从业者改善外展工作,提高虚拟现实服务的提供和质量,更好地为西班牙裔残疾人社区服务。
