What Is Already Known About This Topic?:
Previous research has established a connection between medical service utilization, activity participation, and subjective well-being in the general population. However, few studies have investigated the mediating role of economic participation in the relationship between rehabilitation services utilization and subjective relative deprivation (SRD) among persons with disabilities (PWDs).
What Is Added By This Report?:
Rehabilitation services utilization reduces SRD among PWDs [β=-0.532, 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.832, -0.231,P<0.001] via increased economic participation (KHB: β=-0.044, 95% CI: -0.087, -0.001, P<0.05).
What Are The Implications For Public Health Practice?:
To alleviate SRD among PWDs, policymakers should prioritize improving access to rehabilitation services and enhancing economic participation, with particular focus on individuals with mild to moderate disabilities, those with higher education levels, and urban residents. Mental health support should also be provided to prevent psychological issues stemming from SRD.
