Independent living, emotional well-being, and quality of life in people with disabilities : the mediator role of self-determination and satisfaction with participation Cegarra, Blanca Cattaneo, Gabriele Ribes, Alina Solana-Sánchez, Javier Saurí, Joan Participation Independent living Emotional well-being Quality of life Disability Self-determination 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. 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. The cross-sectional study presented here includes 424 participants with disabilities over 18-years-old from Spain. This research is part of a larger ongoing longitudinal cohort study called Participa (). Participants were asked to complete several on-line surveys to explore quality of life, emotional well-being, participation in society, self-determination, and independent living. The results revealed an association between the dimensions of participation satisfaction, self-determination, and levels of independent living with both quality of life and emotional well-being. Mediation models indicated that satisfaction and self-determination partially mediated the relationship between independent living and both quality of life and emotional well-being. The level of independent living, self-determination, and satisfaction with participation are fundamental aspects for promoting a high quality of life and emotional well-being in people with disabilities. These findings carry significant implications for health and social services, as well as policies guidelines, highlighting the need to prioritize empowerment and self-determination in all interventions designed for people with disabilities. 2023 Article https://ddd.uab.cat/record/293144 urn:10.3389/fpsyg.2023.1279014 urn:oai:ddd.uab.cat:293144 urn:pmcid:PMC10768016 urn:pmc-uid:10768016 urn:pmid:38187437 urn:oai:pubmedcentral.nih.gov:10768016 http://hdl.handle.net/2072/476046 eng Fundació la Marató de TV3 202211_30 Frontiers in psychology ; Vol. 14 (december 2023) open access Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.
