Abstract

Objective

To present a participatory study protocol for implementing the My Abilities First (MAF) tool in Specialized Centers for Child Rehabilitation.

Method

This is a qualitative study that will intentionally select physiotherapists, occupational therapists, children and adolescents with disabilities, aged 6–14 years, and their caregivers, in Specialized Centers for Child Rehabilitation located in the northeastern region of Brazil. The participants will answer a socio-demographic and clinical questionnaire and take part in semistructured interviews, workshops and focus groups to understand and discuss the implementation process of the MAF tool. The study will be based on Participatory Action Research (PAR) and Patient and Public Involvement (PPI). The data will be recorded and fully transcribed for Reflexive Thematic Analysis.

Discussion and Perspectives

The presentation of a study protocol to implement the MAF tool has the potential to enhance changes in attitudes towards disability and individuals with disabilities. The conceptual foundation of the MAF tool, centred on positive language and attitudes, coupled with the need to identify barriers and facilitators for the implementation process, proves conducive to new insights and inclusive opportunities for children and adolescents with disabilities.

实施“我的能力第一”工具以增强残疾儿童和青少年的能力：一项研究方案

目的探讨在儿童康复专业中心实施“我的能力优先”（MAF）工具的参与式研究方案。方法本研究是一项定性研究，在巴西东北部地区的儿童康复专业中心有意选择物理治疗师、职业治疗师、6-14岁的残疾儿童和青少年及其照顾者。参与者将回答一份社会人口统计和临床问卷，并参加半结构化访谈、研讨会和焦点小组，以了解和讨论MAF工具的实施过程。该研究将基于参与式行动研究（PAR）和患者与公众参与（PPI）。数据将被记录并完整转录，用于反身性主题分析。讨论和观点提出一份实施MAF工具的研究方案，有可能促进人们对残疾和残疾人的态度的改变。以积极的语言和态度为中心的MAF工具的概念基础，加上确定实施过程中的障碍和促进因素的必要性，有助于为残疾儿童和青少年提供新的见解和包容性机会。

期刊介绍： Child: care, health and development is an international, peer-reviewed journal which publishes papers dealing with all aspects of the health and development of children and young people. We aim to attract quantitative and qualitative research papers relevant to people from all disciplines working in child health. We welcome studies which examine the effects of social and environmental factors on health and development as well as those dealing with clinical issues, the organization of services and health policy. We particularly encourage the submission of studies related to those who are disadvantaged by physical, developmental, emotional and social problems. The journal also aims to collate important research findings and to provide a forum for discussion of global child health issues.
