“…Even in cases where there is a sense of self-worth, disabled people may still be aware of being perceived as abnormal and pitied by others [97]. Persons with disabilities, perhaps as a result of the stigma associated with disability, are found to be more socially isolated than persons without disabilities [32,39].…”

Purpose. HIV/AIDS has grown to become the biggest epidemic in modern history. Southern Africa is at the epicentre of the global epidemic, with just of a third of the world's HIV-positive population living here. It is known that HIV/AIDS affect vulnerable population groups. It is surprising then, that persons with disabilities, one of the world's most vulnerable population groups, particularly in southern Africa, have been largely overlooked with regards to HIV/AIDS. This review sought to establish the state of the knowledge at present. Method. This article reports on findings of a literature review conducted as an initial step in a research project currently underway in South Africa. This article focuses on HIV/AIDS as it affects persons with disabilities in southern Africa, as it is in this region that the majority of people living with HIV live. However, as fewer studies exist that have as its focus southern Africa (particularly looking at HIV/AIDS and persons with disabilities), relevant articles from the international literature were used as indications of what we may find through future research also in the southern African countries. Given the paucity of published literature dealing with HIV/AIDS and persons with disabilities, the review looked at various risk factors associated with HIV infection, and how it affects persons with disabilities. Results. Findings from the literature review suggest that persons with disabilities, particularly in southern Africa, are at significant risk for HIV infection. Conclusions. There is an urgent need for more research on HIV/AIDs and sexuality among persons with disabilities in Africa.

WPROWADZENIEKategoria zmian następujących w procesie przystosowania u osób po nabyciu trwałej niepełnosprawności ruchowej zyskała w ostatnim dziesięcioleciu nowe podłoże interpretacyjne. Zawiera się ono w większej niż dotychczas koncentracji na aspektach pozytywnych, elementach konstruktywnych i rozwojowych w wyjaśnianiu konsekwencji doznania ograniczeń ruchowych. Po okresie wieloletniego skupiania się badaczy na analizie negatywnych przeobrażeń powstających na skutek doświadczania krytycznych zdarzeń życiowych, dąży się obecnie do ujęcia pełnego zakresu zmian, również tych korzystnych, dostrzeganych jako pozytywne następstwo szczególnie nieszczęśliwych okoliczności. Nie oznacza to, iż w ramach wyjaśniania procesu przystosowania osób z nabytą niepełnosprawnością ruchową nie wskazywano dotąd elementów pozytywnych (por. Wright, 1983;Shontz, 1975). Niemniej z racji dominujących perspektyw teoretycznych kładą-cych głównie nacisk na reakcje psychopatologiczne, traktowane były marginalnie. Zauważalne w ostatnich latach przesunięcie akcentu z aspektów negatywnych na pozytywne w analizie konsekwencji nabycia niepełnosprawności ruchowej, pozwala na dostarczenie szerszego i precyzyjniejszego rozumienia tego zjawiska. Do jego określenia wykorzystywane są różnorodne terminy, np. pozytywne przystosowanie, odnajdywane korzyści, postrzegane korzyści, pozytywne skutki uboczne, odkrycie znaczenia, skutki dobroczynne, pozytywne złudzenia, czerpanie siły z przeciwności, pozytywna reinterpretacja, resilience, pozytywny wzrost osobowy oraz wzrost potraumatyczny (Kalpakjian i in., 2014; Bibb i in., 2013; Dr hab.

Wyniki dotychczasowych badań empirycznych potwierdziły występowanie tego typu zjawisk u osób doświadczających niepełnospraw-ności ruchowej (np.

“…Clothes are an essential adjunct to every human, without which that person cannot engage in the activities of daily living; clothes also contribute significantly to his/ her self-confidence and selfesteem (Klerk & Ampousah, 2003). For those challenged by disabilities getting dressed can be quite frustrating, as they have to struggle on a daily basis with dexterity issues involving fastenings like hooks, buttons, zippers, tags, and prominent seams etc.…”

Clothing can serve as a means of conveying to others the equal status in life which disabled women enjoy, as this will promote their self-confidence, self-esteem and make them feel that they are also a part of the community. When taking a holistic approach towards disability rehabilitation and implementation of an acceptable social model in disability care, it becomes apparent that the clothing related issues of women living with disability have not been addressed properly. Therefore it has become an essential need with a high demand among disabled women to fulfil in the current day society. The main objective of the study was to identify the clothing related barriers faced by those women living with disabilities in Sri Lanka and to make recommendations for further research. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted to identify the clothing barriers. Following the purposive sampling technique, ten respondents were selected. Content analysis technique was used for data analysis. Key barriers were identified and needed adaptive clothing types were categorized based on the women's activities and daily routine. It was found that the Sri Lankan retail sector did not cater to most of these requirements while adaptive clothing brands did not cater to some of the major problems faced by women with disabilities. Further studies are recommended relating to the development of new adaptive clothing products.
