“…Ademais, a maioria dos estabelecimentos de saúde foi considerada inacessível por 50% dos usuários de cadeira de rodas, o que prejudica em muito o acesso aos serviços por essa parcela da população. 26 Com a análise dos resultados, foi constatado que em relação ao sexo, tanto homens quanto mulheres foram atendidos em igual número, totalizando um total de 38 pacientes. Nosso estudo diverge em relação a outros presentes na literatura, onde há predomínio de atendimentos em pacientes do sexo masculino.…”

O acesso ao atendimento odontológico para as pessoas com deficiência (PCD) é um direito garantido no sistema de saúde público. No entanto, apesar das políticas públicas existentes, os desafios para esse acesso ainda são numerosos. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar a acessibilidade aos serviços de saúde bucal das PCD em uma policlínica odontológica de uma universidade pública. Este estudo foi realizado entre setembro a novembro de 2023. Foi analisado o tipo de deficiência, sexo, faixa etária, procedimento odontológico realizado, condição bucal inicial e tempo em lista de espera. A média de idade entre os pacientes foi de 43 anos; condição de saúde bucal foi classificada como “ruim” em 45% dos casos, com os procedimentos de adequação do meio bucal e exodontias sendo os mais realizados; os pacientes com doenças sistêmicas e crônicas foram atendidos em maior número (32%). Assim, as PCD que procuraram por atendimento tiveram suas necessidades de saúde bucal atendidas. Entretanto, a alta prevalência de pacientes com a condição de saúde bucal ruim, concomitante ao alto número de extrações dentárias identificadas, reitera a necessidade urgente de garantir acessibilidade aos serviços odontológicos de forma efetiva para estas pessoas.

“…Immunization refers to the act of providing individuals protection against infectious diseases or strengthening their resistance to them, typically through the administration of vaccines [1]. It remains one of the most important public health interventions and a cost-effective technique for reducing the morbidity and mortality of infectious diseases [2,3] Ensuring that children receive their immunizations at the recommended intervals and appropriate ages is of utmost importance in order to provide them with optimal protection against infectious diseases. The fundamental objective of routine immunization is to administer the full series of recommended, potent vaccines to every child in a timely, safe, and effective manner.…”

Disabled individuals often spend their lives grappling with low levels of optimism and unmet needs. It has been widely accepted that people with disabilities generally have fewer educational opportunities and a lower quality of life than their non-disabled counterparts. This present study employs descriptive research to investigate the relationship between life orientation and academic performance among selected students with physical disabilities. The participants were chosen through purposive sampling, consisting of sixty-four respondents from selected schools in Manila. Data were collected using a survey instrument, The Life Orientation Test Revised (LOTR). The researcher utilized the Z-test, H- test, weighted mean, and ANOVA to identify differences in variables, and Pearson's r to explore relationships. The findings revealed that students with physical disabilities are optimistic individuals; they accept and confront their condition despite the inconveniences and pain it may cause. Moreover, the present study showed that the higher the level of life orientation, the better the academic performance. Therefore, there is a need for the educational system to consider the life orientation of students when developing new strategies and approaches to understanding and teaching students with physical disabilities.
