Intellectual Disability01:29

Intellectual Disability

Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in intellectual and adaptive functioning that manifest during the developmental period. This condition encompasses challenges in reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and learning, accompanied by impairments in everyday life skills, such as communication, self-care, and social interactions. Intellectual disability affects approximately 1% of the population in the United States, impacting an estimated 5...
Health Literacy01:21

Health Literacy

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative programs,...
Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System01:26

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
Learning Disabilities01:25

Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency disorders...
Fungal Phylum Microsporidia01:28

Fungal Phylum Microsporidia

Microsporidia are a group of obligate intracellular fungi that were initially classified as protists but were later reclassified based on phylogenetic, molecular, and structural evidence linking them to the Chytridiomycota. These unicellular, non-motile organisms are highly specialized parasites that infect a wide range of animal hosts, including humans. They have evolved extensive genomic and metabolic reductions, making them highly dependent on their hosts for survival.Morphology and Genomic...

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Development Studies
  • Disability Studies

Background:

  • The study addresses the intersection of disability and development, particularly in low-income countries.
  • It acknowledges the increasing diversity in developed countries due to migration from developing nations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically examine the existing literature on disability and development.
  • To identify key issues and challenges faced by people with disabilities in developing countries.
  • To inform multicultural disability services in developed countries by considering the backgrounds of immigrants.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review was conducted.
  • Data were gathered from academic and practice settings, as well as publications from NGOs and governments.

Main Results:

  • Significant challenges exist in areas such as poverty, health, education, gender, child/youth development, conflict, and human rights for people with disabilities in low-income countries.
  • Widespread discrimination, stigmatization, and marginalization were reported across all examined areas.
  • Globalisation and migration necessitate an understanding of these issues within developed countries.

Conclusions:

  • Addressing multicultural disability services requires awareness of the challenges immigrants with disabilities face.
  • Global trends highlight the interconnectedness of disability issues across different socioeconomic and cultural contexts.
