“…Assistive devices allow people with disabilities to overcome their weaknesses by increasing the strength needed to reach their potential and improving their motivation (Robitaille, 2010). Although several studies indicate that technical assistance can improve the quality of life of people with disabilities, much less is said about the potential of everyday technical assistance to promote SE for these individuals (Nemček, 2021;Howard et al, 2022). This is a major omission, as assistive devices enable people to be more independent and engaged in PA through a wide range of participation, from observation to practice (Bryant and Bryant, 2011).…”

BackgroundHigh self-esteem can help people with disabilities overcome barriers and improve their mental health and well-being. This study sought to examine self-esteem levels among Saudis with physical disabilities based on socio-economic factors. It also aimed to determine the minimum weekly duration of physical activity performed by participants and examine its effects, along with those of other socio-economic factors, on participants’ self-esteem.MethodsA participant sample (N = 582) consisting of Saudi individuals aged 33.78 ± 9.81 years with physical disabilities (males, n = 289; females, n = 293) was recruited to participate in this study. Levels of self-esteem were measured using the Arabic version of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale.ResultsCompared to women, men demonstrated significantly higher levels of overall self-esteem, positive feelings, and negative feelings (p < 0.01). The respondents’ average levels of overall self-esteem (p < 0.001), positive feelings (p < 0.01), and negative feelings (p < 0.001) also varied by type of physical disability. Wheelchair-using participants had the highest values for self-esteem and positive feelings; cane-using participants or those who did not use mobility aids had the lowest values. Weighted least squares regression showed that weekly physical activity was the factor that most affected self-esteem (β = 0.002), followed by education level (β = 0.115), then type of mobility device used (β = −0.07).ConclusionIncreased weekly physical activity, higher education levels, and the use of mobility aids were the factors likely to improve the self-esteem of Saudis with physical disabilities.
