摘要

目的:在尼日利亚,残疾人经常面临非故意的不良待遇和忽视。本横断面研究旨在探讨在阿南布拉州Nnamdi Azikiwe教学医院医疗保健专业人员对PLWD的知识水平、态度和看法。材料与方法:采用随机抽样方法,共招募293名医护人员。采用KAPDAP (Knowledge, Attitude, and Perception of physical disabilities,残障人士的知识、态度和感知)问卷来评估残障人士的知识、态度和感知水平。使用平均值、标准差、频率和百分比来总结参与者的特征。采用卡方检验检验所选被试变量与身体残疾知识、态度和感知水平之间的相关性。结果:有242人(82.6%)对PLWD有一般的认识,151人(51.5%)对PLWD有一般的态度,142人(48.5%)对PLWD有一般的认识。职业与残疾知识之间存在显著关联。结论:本研究结果表明,研究区域内的医护人员对身体残疾相关问题有足够的了解,能够积极影响他们对肢体残疾的态度和看法。专业与知识之间存在显著相关(p < 0.001),物理治疗师的知识水平最高。但是,在所有被研究的职业都实现对残疾人友好的环境之前,应在宣传方面作出更多努力。

Knowledge, Attitude and Perception of Disability among Healthcare Workers in a Nigerian Tertiary Health Institution
Purpose: In Nigeria, people living with disabilities often face unintentional poor treatment and neglect. This cross-sectional study was aimed at exploring the level of knowledge, attitude, and perception of healthcare professionals towards PLWD in Nnamdi Azikiwe Teaching Hospital, Nnewi Anambra State. Materials and methods: A total of 293 healthcare professionals were recruited through a random sampling technique. An adopted Knowledge, Attitude, and Perception of Physically Disabled People (KAPDAP) questionnaire was used to assess the level of knowledge, attitude, and perception. Participants’ characteristics were summarized using mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentages. Chi-square test was used to examine the association between selected participants’ variables and the level of knowledge, attitude, and perception of physical disability. Results: 242 (82.6%) of the participants had fair knowledge, 151 (51.5%) had fair attitude, while 142 (48.5%) of the participants had fair perceptions of PLWD. There was a significant association between professions and knowledge about disability. Conclusions: The findings from this study indicated that healthcare professionals within the study area had adequate knowledge of physical disability-related issues capable of impacting positively their attitude and perception towards PLWD. There was a significant association between professions and knowledge (p < 0.001), with physiotherapists possessing the highest knowledge level. However, more efforts on advocacy should be made until a disability-friendly environment is achieved across all studied professions.
