Background:
People with intellectual and developmental disabilities experience daily challenges leading to high stress. Disability acceptance is crucial for improving their quality of life and reducing disability-related stress. We investigated longitudinal relationships between disability acceptance and disability-related stress among Korean adults with intellectual disabilities using data from the Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled (PSED, 2016-2022).
Method:
Data from 3,077 participants who self-reported intellectual disabilities were analysed using generalised estimated equation (GEE) analysis.
Results:
Higher disability acceptance significantly predicted reduced disability-related stress levels.
Conclusion:
These findings highlight the importance of interventions promoting disability acceptance. Developing evidence-based guidelines and educational programmes focused on acceptance can enhance psychological and emotional wellbeing among people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
