| Abstract [eng] |
Historically, people with disabilities (PWD) are a neglected people of society, the largest minority group, and at high risk of poverty and unemployment, due to these factors, the likelihood of them having a satisfactory quality of life is decreased. Theoretically, social work is supposed to look after the members of the community who are not taken care of or self-sufficient and are left behind by the social system. This study aims to verify how equipped and effective the social care services are at improving the quality of life of people with disabilities. The research tasks were: 1. Theoretical analysis method for the social work system in people with disabilities’ care. 2. Theoretical analysis method for the social work system in people with disabilities’ quality of life. 3. Semi-standardized interview method for social workers, to discover changes in social care and quality of life of people with disabilities under social services. 4. Narrative analysis method to identify areas in social care that improve care and quality of life of people with disabilities. A qualitative approach was taken. Social workers were interviewed and the empirical evidence went under a narrative analysis. Participants offered insight to the limits of their capabilities and the effects of their services, as well as how people with disabilities learn and grow from the presence of social work in their lives. It is recommended to integrate and expose people with disabilities to society more, even with other people with different kinds of disabilities. |
