“…En las personas con una diversidad funcional congénita, la primera fase no existe (Miangolarra y Álvarez, 2003). A lo largo del tiempo, se ha intentado diferenciar el impacto en la autoestima que puede provocar una diversidad funcional congénita y una diversidad funcional adquirida con posterioridad (Antle, 2004;Bishop, 2001;Grzesiak y Hicok, 1994;Taleporos y McCabe, 2005).…”

The aim of this paper is to analyse self esteem among people with functional diversity and how it makes a situation of concealment and invisibility conditional on the functional diversity model. To this end life stories of women with physical and sensory functional diversity aged between 16 and 65 years have been selected. The research methodology is of mixed nature. The data analysis was processed by AQUAD 6 (Huber, 2006), arising code series and semantic categories. So through this instructment different narratives of women with functional diversity have been collected. The programme firstly distinguishes between descriptive and demographic and secondly between referential and interpretative codes. Personal evaluations on self-esteem by women with functional diversity are analysed, as well as how they project it onto different aspects of their lives, both personal and social. Results confirm that, in many cases, their personal configuration of self esteem distorts the process of accepting functional diversity.Keywords: functional diversity, self esteem, personal development.

“…Los resultados hallados en este estudio no son extrapolables a todas las personas con discapacidad física, dado que el grupo de participantes forma parte de una entidad sin ánimo de lucro que ofrece la inclusión social y laboral, y por ello el soporte social y la posibilidad de referenciarse a sí mismos con personas que tienen la misma condición hace que la aceptación a la discapacidad y la confianza en sí mismos mejoren significativamente y, por ende, aumente la valoración de su imagen corporal (Cash et al, 2004). Así mismo, la adecuada valoración de la imagen corporal que reportaron las personas del estudio se relaciona con la severidad de la discapacidad, el grado de la limitación y la dependencia de cuidadores para las actividades cotidianas, lo cual además facilita su participación en contextos laborales y sociales (Taleporos & McCabe, 2005).…”

ResumenEl presente estudio correlacional descriptivo se propuso evaluar los factores que determinan la calidad de vida (CV) relacionada con la salud en 78 personas con discapacidad física que vivían en Bogotá, y hacían parte de un proyecto de inclusión laboral dirigido por una ONG. Se evaluó la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (Cuestionario de Salud SF36 y visita domiciliaria), al igual que las condiciones asociadas a la discapacidad y algunos factores psicológicos (Escala de Autoeficacia Generalizada, Prueba de Imagen Corporal, Inventario de Estilos de Afrontamiento, Prueba de optimismo disposicional, Inventario de Depresión de Beck y Escala de Ansiedad de Zung). Se utilizó un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales para encontrar el poder predictivo de las variables en la calidad de vida. El modelo obtenido predecía un 39% de la varianza, incluyendo en orden de peso relativo aportando variables como condiciones de enfermedad, depresión, afrontamiento centrado en la fantasía, trascendencia, pesimismo, ansiedad y autoeficacia. Se discuten los hallazgos y las limitaciones del estudio.

Quality of life related to health was assessed with the SF36 Health Questionnaire and a home visit, as well as the conditions associated with disability and some psychological factors which were measured with the Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale, Body Image Test, Coping Styles Inventory, Dispositional Optimism Test, Beck Depression Inventory and Zung Anxiety Scale. A structural equation model was used in order to determine the predictive power of the quality of life variables. The obtained model predicted 39% of the variance, including the variables' relative weight order, and provided variables as disease condition, depression, coping style focused on fantasy, transcendence, pessimism, anxiety and self-efficacy. Findings and limitations of the study are discussed. Key Words: Quality of life, physical disability, psychological factors.

“…Two of the participants suggested that negative body esteem in people with Cerebral Palsy is linked to privatizations of the socio-sexual implications of physical impairment (Taleporos & McCabe, 2005). For instance, Alex indicated that negative body esteem influenced the way he privatized interactional sexual relationships.…”

Conceptualizing Sex with Cerebral Palsy: A Phenomenological Exploration of Private Constructions of Sexuality Using Sexual Script Theory

This study explored how people with cerebral palsy (CP) negotiated and perceived their sexual interactions with others. In doing so, this research discusses participant conceptualizations of sexuality with CP. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with two women and five men with moderate to severe cerebral palsy from Canada and Australia. The interview discourse focused on how, if at all, private/internal constructions of sexuality influenced the way in which participants expressed and negotiated their sexuality. Interview data were thematically analyzed using NVivo and manual line-by-line analysis.Notably, accepting oneself was important to people with cerebral palsy's sense of sexuality. By critically discounting exclusionary or negative sexual schema, people with cerebral palsy learn to be more accepting of their abilities and attribute positive conceptualizations to themselves and their sexual identity. Participants had mixed perceptions of body esteem as an aspect of their sexuality. Downward social comparisons were associated with positive body esteem. Negative body esteem could be an after effect of the lack of resources to support people with cerebral palsy in their sexual participation (i.e., sexual surrogates, workers, sexual facilitation from care providers, privacy or accessibility to transport) (see Earle, 1999). Participants also believed their sexual agency was constrained. For instance, they were apprehensive about explicitly asking for what they required from a sexual partner for fear that they may seem overly demanding, which could frustrate a sexual partner or end a relationship.For people with CP personal agency yields more satisfying socio-sexual outcomes. The present study suggests that people with cerebral palsy do in fact recognize that being sexually agential would increase their sense of sexual satisfaction and empowerment. Further, participants believed that sexual agency could be enhanced with personal effort. In this regard, the ability to make (and exercise) choice when negotiating sexuality reinforces conceptualizations of oneself as a sexually desirable being.
