“…In patients with paraplegia due to traumatic long-term spinal cord injury, illness denial was found to be negatively correlated to measures of posttraumatic growth [204]. In subsequent studies with spinal cord injury patients, illness denial was a significant predictor of higher levels of symptoms of anxiety [205] and was also found to be negatively associated with basic hope and a general sense of self-efficacy [206].…”

Introduction: Illness denial pertains to medical patients who do not acknowledge the presence or severity of their disease or the need of treatment. Objective: This systematic review was performed to clarify the clinical role and manifestations of illness denial, its impact on health attitudes and behavior, as well as on short- and long-term outcomes in patients with medical disorders. Methods: The systematic search according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines was conducted on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Results: The initial search yielded a total of 14,098 articles; 176 studies met the criteria for inclusion. Illness denial appeared to be a relatively common condition affecting a wide spectrum of health attitudes and behavior. In some cases, it may help a person cope with various stages of illness and treatment. In other situations, it may determine delay in seeking treatment, impaired adherence, and reduced self-management, leading to adverse outcomes. The Diagnostic Criteria for Psychosomatic Research (DCPR) were found to set a useful severity threshold for the condition. An important clinical distinction can also be made based on the DCPR for illness denial, which require the assessment of whether the patient has been provided with an adequate appraisal of the medical situation. Conclusions: This systematic review indicates that patients with medical disorders experience and express illness denial in many forms and with varying degrees of severity. The findings suggest the need for a multidimensional assessment and provide challenging insights into the management of medical disorders.

“…What role does the elusive construct of denial play in the PACID process? Whereas a large percentage of the available literature indicates that the deployment of denial is associated with poorer adaptation, some empirical data are available to suggest that, under certain conditions, denial may actually serve a useful role in promoting PACID (Byra & Gabrys, 2023;Kortte & Wegener, 2004;Livneh, 2009;Voss et al, 2007).…”

The primary aim of this brief paper is to suggest fertile research areas that could serve to both navigate and enrich our understanding of psychosocial adaptation to chronic illness and disability (PACID). More specifically, the paper seeks to outline broadly, for future consideration, eight such areas that span a wide range of theoretical and research venues. Included are, first, PACID-associated domains based on concepts that may be regarded as predictors, as well as moderators and mediators, of PACID. These include concepts such as duration of CID, level of existing psychological energy (e.g., motivation, vigor), presence of denial, and the influence of early-in-life, single, and cumulative traumatic events. Second, consideration of concepts embedded in the adaptation process itself is offered, including personal perceptions and beliefs about CID impact, such as illness intrusion and self-identity; the nature and unfolding of personal growth following onset of CID; and more generally, the inherent veracity of models advocating imminent psychological growth following traumatic experiences, including the onset of CID.

“…These challenges, as documented in the research, have a detrimental impact on their overall quality of life. It is crucial to recognize and address these difficulties to improve the well-being and inclusion of individuals with physical disabilities in society (Byra and Gabryś, 2023;Holm et al 2022). Individuals struggling to overcome similar challenges often find themselves entering a cycle of social and psychological isolation, which over time may lead to addiction issues, such as gambling and alcohol dependency, further exacerbating the negative impact on their quality of life (Grant and Chamberlain, 2023;Heilig, 2023).…”

This study addresses the multifaceted challenges faced by individuals with physical disabilities, encompassing health, economic, and social aspects. The sustainable development of societies hinges on the collective contributions of both disabled and healthy individuals. Esports has recently emerged as a promising avenue for the integration of individuals with physical disabilities into societal life, primarily due to its capacity to transcend physical and demographic constraints. This research therefore aimed to explore the impact of accessibility technologies employed in esports on the quality of life for individuals living with physical disabilities. For this purpose, a literature review was conducted to examine the effect of accessibility technologies currently used in esports on the quality of life of physically disabled individuals. A comprehensive review of the literature suggests that esports, coupled with diverse software and hardware technologies designed to enhance the accessibility of individuals with physical disabilities to esports, yields positive outcomes, which encompass improved socialization, enhanced career opportunities within esports, heightened cognitive and intellectual skills, ultimately leading to an elevated quality of life. As a result, it can be said that these technologies, in addition to widening accessibility to esports, hold the potential to facilitate the organization of tailored esports tournaments and events for disabled individuals, thereby encouraging greater participation in the esports realm.
