“…Two hundred and eighty of the 400 persisted; which was a statistically significant proportion (70%) when compared to the other participating disability categories (76.4% persisted). A similar study investigated the quality of life of 203 college students with disabilities in the Cote D'Ivoire (Nandjui et al, 2008). Most of the sample (89.2%) reported having a physical disability.…”

College students with physical disabilities were among the first students to receive disability supports in higher education in the United States, and the earliest journal articles in disability services focused almost exclusively on this cohort. As more students with a range of disability types have accessed higher education over the past 25 years, the body of professional literature has developed correspondingly. However, research related to students with physical disabilities is relatively sparse. The present study is a secondary analysis of a comprehensive systematic review of 1,036 journal articles published between 1951 and 2012, 615 of which were data based. Specifically, 81 of the 615 studies included at least one participant with a physical disability (38.3% included a substantial number of individuals with physical disabilities) and were highlighted for analysis. The majority of studies used descriptive designs and only two studies were experimental. No studies investigated the effectiveness of specific programs or accommodations for students. Results indicated that more systematic, high quality research on the experiences of and services provided to college students with physical disabilities is necessary.

“…Other published studies about the disabled have highlighted the difficulties faced from different perspectives. Nandjui (2008) revealed that different aspects of the life of the disabled, such as education, economics, societal and buildings and their accessibility, have affected their quality of life. In the field of education, there have been discussions on the information needs of the disabled.…”

The study examines the views of architect experts and physically disabled users on the accessibility status of 14 public and university library buildings in Iran. The respondents rated on the availability of items listed in a checklist grouped under five categories: parking, ramps, interior layout, exclusive space and public space for the disabled. The checklist was based on the American Disability Act and International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions checklist for libraries for the disabled. The results indicate that the point of view of both disabled users and architects on all criteria is similar except for the ratings on the ramp and the interior layout for the disabled in library buildings. Based on the architects’ responses, 53.8 percent of libraries did not provide ramps and 63.0 percent had no exclusive space for the disabled. Disabled users who rated higher on library accessibility were frequent visitors to the library. The provision of access and equipment met minimum compliant standards on the standard checklist, but there is room for improvements.

“…University students with disabilities report that their quality of life is unsatisfactory because they have obstacles in their lives (Nandjui et al, 2008). It has also been reported that professionals' lack of a multidisciplinary approach has an impact on their quality of life (Martín & Sánchez 2016).…”

Background This study investigates the intricate relationship between positive and negative affect and its impact on the mental health of students with disabilities. Despite the growing recognition of the importance of mental health among this demographic, limited research has focused on the role of affect in shaping their mental health.Methods Drawing upon a sample of 105 students with various disabilities, data was collected through self-report measures assessing positive and negative affect as well as mental health outcomes. Utilizing quantitative analysis, t-tests, ANOVA and correlation models were employed to examine the associations between affect and mental health indicators. ResultsPreliminary findings suggest that positive affect is significantly correlated with better mental health outcomes, including lower levels of depression and anxiety, while negative affect demonstrates the opposite pattern. Furthermore, certain disability types may moderate these relationships, highlighting the nuanced nature of affect and mental health within this population. ConclusionThese results underscore the importance of considering both positive and negative affect in interventions aimed at promoting mental well-being among students with disabilities. Implications for research and practice are discussed, emphasizing the need for tailored interventions that address the unique affective experiences of this population to enhance their overall mental health and academic success.
