Independent living, emotional well-being, and quality of life in people with disabilities: the mediator role of self-determination and satisfaction with participation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In the field of disability and rehabilitation, participation in society has become an important therapeutic objective due to its potential impact on rehabilitation, prognosis, and patient's mid and long-term well-being. However, only a few studies have explored this issue in relation with the subjective perspective of individuals with disabilities about their decision-making capacity and satisfaction with the activities in which they participate.

Objective

Our aim is to analyze the relationship between participation in society of people with disabilities and both emotional well-being and quality of life, including variables about subjective perspective of participation (satisfaction) and the ability to decide and pursue their own preferences.<
