This is finding a reference book that contains the summary of medical and health research and studies that were carried out by Yemeni researchers during 2000-2005 as a first step. Moreover, it was necessary to define the sources of our book content which were: 1. Magazines and journals produced by universities of Sana'a –Aden-Hadramout. 2. Medical scientific documents / science conferences prepared by the Yemeni scientific research foundation. 3. Global information network (Hinari – pubmed ) and others . 4. Research and studies published in Yemen health and medical research journal. 5. The researcher who documented his\her research in the documentation department in the research centre - MoPH&P. We did our best to collect all researches and studies implemented in Yemen from these sources. But we are sure that many of researches and studies are not included in this book. However, we are going to develop this book so it contains all the researches and studies implemented in our country. At last we hope that this book will be the first reference book in research and studies to helps all researcher.

    FACULTY OF COMMUNITY AND HEALTH SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF PHYSIOTHERAPY CHALLENGES EXPERIENCED BY MOTHERS OF CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY IN NDOLA, ZAMBIA CAROL SINGOGO A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in the Department of Physiotherapy, University of the Western Cape. May 2012 Supervisor: Prof. A Rhoda i ABSTRACT About 10% of children world-wide experience developmental disorders and require access to the health care system. These disorders also require extensive care giving, often throughout childhood and into the adult years. Cerebral palsy (CP) is one such chronic condition, and can serve as a major cause of childhood disability. It is the commonest cause of neurological impairment in childhood and is associated with functional limitations and lifelong disability. Providing the high level of care required by a child with long-term functional limitations can become burdensome and may impact on both the physical and psychological health of the care giver. To prevent problems suffered by mothers of children with CP, it is important to explore the challenges experienced. All studies conducted previously on cerebral palsy in Zambia focus on impairments and difficulties experienced by children with CP and none of the mothers’ challenges have been explored. The aim of this study therefore was to explore the challenges that mothers of children with cerebral palsy experience in Ndola, Zambia. The study was conducted at two rehabilitation centers (Twapia and Mushili) under the Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) catchment area in Ndola. A qualitative research design was employed. The mothers were stratified and purposefully selected and interviews were stopped once theoretical saturation was reached.

  • Childhood Disability and Socio-Economic
    Simkiss et al. BMC Pediatrics 2011, 11:119 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2431/11/119 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Childhood disability and socio-economic circumstances in low and middle income countries: systematic review Douglas E Simkiss1*, Clare M Blackburn2, Felix O Mukoro3, Janet M Read4 and Nicholas J Spencer5 Abstract Background: The majority of children with disability live in low and middle income (LAMI) countries. Although a number of important reviews of childhood disability in LAMI countries have been published, these have not, to our knowledge, addressed the association between childhood disability and the home socio-economic circumstances (SEC). The objective of this study is to establish the current state of knowledge on the SECs of children with disability and their households in LAMI countries through a systematic review and quality assessment of existing research. Methods: Electronic databases (MEDLINE; EMBASE; PUBMED; Web of Knowledge; PsycInfo; ASSIA; Virtual Health Library; POPLINE; Google scholar) were searched using terms specific to childhood disability and SECs in LAMI countries. Publications from organisations including the World Bank, UNICEF, International Monetary Fund were searched for. Primary studies and reviews from 1990 onwards were included. Studies were assessed for inclusion, categorisation and quality by 2 researchers. Results: 24 primary studies and 13 reviews were identified. Evidence from the available literature on the association between childhood disability and SECs was inconsistent and inconclusive. Potential mechanisms by which poverty and low household SEC may be both a cause and consequence of disability are outlined in the reviews and the qualitative studies. The association of poor SECs with learning disability and behaviour problems was the most consistent finding and these studies had low/medium risk of bias.

  • International and Regional Practices Favoring the Inclusion of Persons
    Distr. LIMITED E/ESCWA/SDD/2010/WP.4 7 October 2010 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COMMISSION FOR WESTERN ASIA (ESCWA) INTERNATIONAL AND REGIONAL PRACTICES FAVOURING THE INCLUSION OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES IN THE LABOUR MARKET 10-0505 Preface This paper constitutes the fourth in the Working Papers Series, which is produced by the Social Development Division of ESCWA. The research presented in this issue was conducted by the Social Policy Section as part of its ongoing efforts aimed at promoting an integrated approach to social policy and at fostering inclusive development in the region. Within that context, the paper responds to the Economic and Social Council resolution of July 2010, which “invites Governments, relevant organizations of the United Nations system, regional organizations and development partners to exchange views and share information on good policies and practices for mainstreaming social inclusion into social and economic policies at the national, regional and international levels aimed at achieving equity, equality, social inclusion, protection and cohesion, and recognizes existing efforts in this regard”. This study is being published shortly after the United Nations Summit on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which was held in New York, 20-22 September 2010, and which sought to remind the international community that MDGs could only be achieved by including the world’s 650 million individuals who are living with disabilities, and by encouraging their participation in the MDG process. The study also serves as a background paper for a report on poverty and disability, which will be submitted to the eighth session of ESCWA’s Committee on Social Development (Beirut, March 2011).
