“…The most common barriers included attitudes, physical environment, transportation, policies and the lack of support from staff and service providers. (Anaby, Hand, Bradley, DiRezze, Forhan, DiGiacomo & Law, 2013) But what has been less considered is a double problem that threaten the children, namely their disability and lack of a caretaker; for the latter, unfortunately there are quite few studies into these children as design of such bases have been rarely decided.…”

Due to physical and mental disability, children tend to withdraw themselves from society especially if their parents abandon them, and if society fail to establish a suitable relationship with these children, their presence will uproot from society. In this paper, we deals with the case Rofaydeh Welfare Services Complex in Iran in the he city of Tehran where 60 disabled, mentally or physically disabled children are taken care of, some of them were also orphans. The aim of the article is to provide an environment which is conducive to more relationship and interaction of these children with members of society with regard to their lack of caretaker and family, as well as protecting the primacy of the children's living spaces as their home.The research methodology included library and field methods; thus, suitable strategies were developed to achieve the goal of this paper. The research indicates that designing the complex as a house in the middle of the neighborhood park allows for children's presence in the society among the people and close interaction with people through being positioned in a neighborhood park, as well as providing the presence of the children in a space similar to a house which is every child's wish. On neighborhood scale, the park protects the children from social damages so that they feel sense of intimacy working between them and people.

“…Physical, social and attitudinal features of the environment have an impact on the participation of children and youth with chronic conditions and disabilities across home, school and community contexts [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Environmental factors are categorized into five broad domains in the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the more recent child and youth version (ICF-CY) [7,8]: (1) products and technology; (2) natural environment and human-made changes to environment; (3) support and relationships; (4) attitudes; and (5) services, systems and policies.…”

Objective: To further validate the Child and Adolescent Scale of Environment (CASE). Methods: Baseline data (n ¼ 430) were analyzed from a longitudinal study on quality of life for youth with chronic conditions ages 11-17 in Ontario, Canada. Internal consistency and structure, and convergent and discriminant validity were examined via Cronbach's alpha (), exploratory factor analyses, correlation analyses and ANOVA. Results: The CASE had high internal consistency ( ¼ 0.89). A three-factor solution was produced with 55% variance explained: (1) Community/Home Resources, (2) School Resources and (3) Physical Design/Access). CASE total and factor scores were significantly correlated with scores from measures of impairment and participation (i.e. youth with more problematic environments had more severe impairment and more restricted participation). Significant differences in CASE scores existed for primary condition and impairment severity, but not for age or gender. Conclusion: Results provide additional CASE validation evidence. Further testing is needed with more diverse and representative samples.

[7][8][9][10][11] In this study the referred diseases were taken into account in order to make a classification for those diseases seen most commonly among patients who delivered home health care services. …”

Objective: To determine the health profiles of patients who have been delivered home health care services by public hospitals in over the last five years. Methods: Data which were recorded by the Ministry of Health and the Diyarbakır Directorate of Health Services had been provided from 1,826 patients from three city center and five district hospitals located in Diyarbakir, Turkey. Results: Of 1,826 patients, 989 (54%) were female and 837 (46%) were male. The patients were divided into three age groups: 0-18 years 467 (25%), 19-64 years 511 (28%) and +65 years 848 (47%). There were more female patients in +65 age group and male in 0-18 age group (χ 2 = 89.923, p < .001). In 2015, there was an increase in the number of people who received services in all age groups (χ 2 = 164.344, p < .001). It was found that neurodegenerative diseases were more widespread in +65 age group (χ 2 = 44.823, p < .001). Neurogenetic dieases were more seen in the 0-18 age group (χ 2 = 97.800, p < .001). In the +65 age group, musculoskeletal (χ 2 = 16.037, p < .001) and respiratory diseases (χ 2 = 6.054, p < .05) were detected to be more widespread. There were no significant sex-based differences between the years involved (χ 2 = 2.246, p > .05). Neurodegenerative diseases (χ 2 = 4.07, p < .05), neurogenetic diseases (χ 2 = 6.043, p < .05) and respiratory diseases (χ 2 = 5.254, p < .05) were determined to be more widespread in male patients. Musculoskeletal (χ 2 = 17.943, p < .001)and cardiovascular diseases (χ 2 = 11.994, p < .001) were seen more in female groups. Conclusions: Over the last five years, there has been an increase in the utilization of home health care services. Policy legislation for health care services to be provided at home is generating succesful results.
