Abstract

This paper discusses the specific factors and key actions in managing the mental health of persons with disabilities (PWDs) amid Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in the Philippines. It is a short report that discusses the continuous record of knowledge related to the management of the mental health of PWDs amid the COVID-19 crisis specifically in the Philippines. The specific factors such as inadequate information, negative social perceptions, and inaccessible medical services are found to exacerbate the situation. The key actions such as policy review, stakeholder participation, continued support, and inclusive research are cogently identified. This paper provides a contribution in understanding more about the mental health of PWDs amid the COVID-19 crisis in a developing country. With the PWDs in mind, it is suggested to reconsider current guidelines, involve stakeholders in multisectoral responses, sustain financial subsidy, and conduct inclusive research and census.

菲律宾新冠肺炎疫情期间残疾人心理健康管理:具体因素和关键行动
本文讨论了在菲律宾2019冠状病毒病(新冠肺炎)大流行期间管理残疾人心理健康的具体因素和关键行动。这是一份简短的报告,讨论了在新冠肺炎危机期间,特别是在菲律宾,与残疾人心理健康管理相关的知识的持续记录。信息不足、负面社会观念和无法获得医疗服务等具体因素加剧了这种情况。令人信服地确定了政策审查、利益相关者参与、持续支持和包容性研究等关键行动。本文为进一步了解发展中国家新冠肺炎危机中残疾人的心理健康做出了贡献。考虑到残疾人,建议重新考虑现行指导方针,让利益攸关方参与多部门应对措施,维持财政补贴,并进行包容性研究和人口普查。
