“…Training teachers in SM prevention education enhances the impact and sustainability of SM prevention programmes, and this is especially critical if they are to be teachers of SWDs. Appropriate pre-service and continuing education related to SM and disability for practitioners has the potential to lead to improved psychosocial outcomes for individuals with disabilities [8]. …”

BackgroundThis study examines Jordanian special education department students’ competences and preparation relating to combating substance misuse (SM).MethodThematic analysis was performed on data from interviews with 150 students.ResultsSome participants denied the possibility of addiction among students with disabilities, and presented negative attitudes toward their role in combating SM. In general, the participants displayed low levels of professionalism relating to combating SM, and the results revealed that they felt that their preparation programme had been inadequate and they desired more courses that related to combating SM.ConclusionsThese results suggest that Jordanian Universities should emphasise the role of teachers in a preventive approach to SM.

“…15, no 2, octobre 2016 la frustration et l'anxiété (Trieschmann, 1988 ;Young, Rintala, Rossi, Hart et Fuhrer, 1995), une faible capacité d'adaptation (Smedema et Ebener, 2010), l'attitude des pairs, de la famille et des professionnels de la santé face au traumatisme (Heinemann, Schnoll, Brandt, Maltz et Keen, 1988 ;Radnitz et Tirch, 1995) de même que la douleur (Kolakowski-Hayner et al, 2002 ;Mask, 1993) sont tous des facteurs pouvant reliés à une consommation à risque suite à la lésion. Le chapitre du livre de Tétrault et Courtois (2015) concernant les facteurs de risque de consommation d'alcool, de drogues et de médicaments sédatifs chez les personnes lésées médullaires lors des périodes de réadaptation fonctionnelle et de retour à domicile est aussi fort intéressant à ce sujet.…”

Certains groupes sociaux afficheraient une plus forte prévalence de consommation de substances psychoactives que la population générale, comme c’est le cas pour les personnes ayant subi une blessure à la moelle épinière. Le premier objectif de cet article est d’évaluer la prévalence d’usage d’alcool, de drogues illicites et de médicaments psychotropes chez les personnes lésées médullaires en fonction du type de consommateurs. Le second objectif est d’évaluer l’évolution de l’usage selon les périodes précédant la lésion, de réadaptation fonctionnelle et de retour à domicile. Un échantillon de 85 adultes avec une lésion à la moelle épinière présentement au retour à domicile a été interviewé entre 2007 et 2008 à l’aide de la grille de dépistage/évaluation du besoin d’aide-Alcool et Drogues. Les résultats montrent que le nombre de consommateurs à haut risque d’alcool diminue de manière significative de la période précédant la lésion médullaire à celle du retour à domicile. Les résultats ne se sont pas avérés significatifs pour la consommation de drogues et de médicaments sédatifs. Les résultats sur la consommation réduite de SPA durant la période de réadaptation fonctionnelle soulèvent la nécessité de motiver les institutions à rester vigilantes sur la consommation de leurs bénéficiaires LM et les médecins sur leurs prescriptions de médicaments.

“…Successful adaptation to aging involves an individual's resolve to move beyond his/her physical losses to capitalizing on his/her continued abilities to successfully manage his/her environment (Smedema & Ebener, 2010). This view of adaptation is congruent with the selection, optimization, and compensation (SOC) model proposed by Baltes and colleagues.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychosocial adaptation among elderly persons in institutional and community settings, and to explore factors influencing their adaptation. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with a convenience sample of 165 residents of four institutions (two assisted-living facilities and two nursing homes) and 209 community-dwelling elders served by a primary care centre, all located in middle Taiwan. A structured interview questionnaire was used to collect data. Results: community-dwelling elderly had significantly higher adaptation scores than those in institutional settings. Factors related to adaptation differed between institutional and community settings, with more variables influencing adaptation in the community than in the institution. Physical functional status was the major influence on adaptation of the elderly in institutions. Dietary support from family was negatively associated with adaptation in this group. Influencing factors for community-dwelling elders were more complicated, including perceived family emotional and economic support, personal life values and physical functional status. Implications: greater support from government, including economic resources and assistance in community care are needed to achieve the policy goal of 'aging in place'. Further investigation of the influence of family interaction on elders' adaptation is needed.
