  • Included articles were screened for relevance to disability's impact on functioning.
  • Data were synthesized narratively using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework.

    • Main Results:

    • 46 studies were included, focusing primarily on non-communicable diseases (36 studies).
    • Key areas of activity/participation restrictions included work/employment and intimate relationships.
    • Significant environmental factors identified were societal attitudes, health services, and support systems.

    Conclusions:

    • A limited body of primary research exists on disability in Cameroon.
    • Major themes identified include stigma, lack of awareness, inadequate care, and employment challenges.
    • Further research is essential to explore the complexities of living with a disability and to develop strategies for enhanced participation.
