The Relationship

Physically disabled persons can have sleep problems, which affects their mental health more than those in non-disabled people. However, there are few studies on the relationship between sleep duration and mental health targeting physically disabled people in South Korea, and existing studies on the disabled have mostly used data collected from convenience rather than nationally representative samples, limiting the generalization of the results. This study used data from the second wave of the Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled (PSED, 2016–2018, 1st–3rd year). Participants included 1851 physically disabled individuals. The Chi-square test and generalized estimating equation (GEE) were used and the Akaike information criterion (AIC) value and the AIC log Bayes factor approximation were used to select sleep trajectories. This is the first study to elucidate multiple sleep trajectories in physically disabled people in Korea, and the relationship between sleep duration trajectories and self-rated depressive symptoms. People with physical disabilities who sleep more than 9 h have the highest risk of depression and need more intensive management as a priority intervention.

Innovative Approaches

Sensory Aids Foundation, a private nonprofit corporation has been involved in the application of rehabilitation engineering and sensory aids technology to the solution of employment problems for sensory and physically disabled people for five years. During that time over two hundred people have been placed in a variety of jobs. The key factor in ensuring the success of the placement of our blind clients has been the identification of appropriate sensory aids to assist the blind worker in accessing what is traditionally alternative forms of sensory information. This paper will discuss two situations where totally blind individuals are using sensory aids to perform competitively.
