“…In this context, it is important to consider that, in addition to encouraging population and professionals to use technologies, it is worth considering family members/caregivers and including their participation. 10 The link to access the online questionnaire, provided by the Survey Monkey platform, was disclosed to MieloFórum users through Facebook, personal emails, WhatsApp groups and private messages in MieloFórum. The fact that 57% of the participants had access to the data collection instrument through Facebook reinforces the potential of this social media as a way to disseminate information.…”

Objective: to evaluate the use of an online forum for people with myelomeningocele and their families and the profile of the users, based on intermittent catheterization. Method: a quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive and exploratory study. Data was collected from users of the online forum, based on an online questionnaire available from March 20 to April 20, 2015. Sample consisted of 30 users. Descriptive statistical data analyses and chi-square test were performed. Results: among users, 27% were people with myelomeningocele and 73% were family members. Age, considering the total sample, ranged from 22 to 58 years old. Women represented 67% of the sample. Most users considered the language used in the forum understandable, and also thought the forum had a proper layout and was easy to navigate. It was noted that the mother and the person with myelomeningocele are the main responsible people for intermittent catheterization; 86% use a simple plastic catheter and 14% use a hydrophilic catheter; 81% do not reuse the catheter, 10% use the same catheter for one day and 9% for up to one week. The main place chosen to perform intermittent catheterization was the bed, followed by the toilet and wheelchairs. Conclusion: the use of the online forum was well evaluated by the users. It can be considered a means to obtain information, create a support network and clarify any doubts, empowering users and contributing to adherence to intermittent catheterization, which is one of the treatments for neurogenic bladder.

“…Six studies focussed on the importance of assistive technology to promote quality of life [11,12,21,28,31,32]. Of these, three studies highlighted the need to expand the availability of assistive technologies in the Public Health System (Sistema Unico de Saúde-SUS) and to offer equipment adapted to the specific demands of people with disabilities (wheelchairs, supply and replacement of hearing aids, devices for low vision, and equipment for the adaptation of children with cerebral palsy in everyday life) [11,12,21]. One study showed a positive correlation between the systematic use of hearing aids with the development of children's hearing and language [11].…”

“…Lack of accessibility of health units was found to be an important barrier [11,13,14,[17][18][19][20]23,34]. Two studies showed that hospitals and rehabilitation services were not physically accessible, and they highlighted the need for access ramps, door widening, signage, elevators, and handrails [12,20]. Studies at the primary care level paint an even grimmer picture.…”

People with disabilities have greater need for healthcare on average, but often face barriers when accessing these services. The Brazilian government launched the National Health Policy for People with Disabilities (PNSPD) in 2002 to address this inequality. PNSPD has six areas of focus: quality of life, impairment prevention, comprehensive health care, organization and functioning of health services, information mechanisms, and training of human resources. The aim of this article was to undertake a scoping review to assess the evidence on the experience of people with disabilities in Brazil with respect to the six themes of the PNSPD. The scoping review included articles published between 2002 and 2019, from four electronic databases: PUBMED/MEDLINE, LILACS, Science Direct, and Scielo. In total, 8076 articles were identified, and after review of titles, abstracts, and full texts by two independent reviewers, 98 were deemed eligible for inclusion. The evidence was relatively limited in availability and scope. However, it consistently showed large gaps in delivery of healthcare to people with disabilities across the six dimensions considered. There was lack of actions aimed at promoting quality of life; insufficient professional training about disability; little evidence on the health profile of people with disabilities; large gaps in the availability of care due to widespread physical, informational, and attitudinal barriers; and poor distribution of the supply and integration of services. In conclusion, the policy framework in Brazil is supportive of the inclusion of people with disabilities in health services; however, large inequalities remain due to poor implementation of the policy into practice.
