Introduction: In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, WHO published considerations regarding people with disabilities. The aim of this work was to know if these considerations can be fulfilled and if there are differences in their fulfillment between age groups.
Method: Descriptive study aimed at people with disabilities in Argentina. A survey was conducted about the four WHO recommendations for this population in online mode, between the 28th and 39th days of preventive and compulsory social isolation. Statistical analysis was according to the nature of the variables, X2 with Fisher's correction was used to determine the differences between groups.
Results: 309 surveys were collected from 18 provinces of Argentina. 230(74.4%[69.1-79.1]) were answered by caregivers and 79(25.5%[20.7-30.7]) by people with disabilities. Persons with disabilities were 138(44.7%[39.0-50.4]) children and adolescents and 171(55.3%[49.5-60.9]) adults and older adults.
People with disabilities were able to comply with the WHO recommendations regarding reducing exposure to COVID-19 and to be prepared in case of contracting it. There were difficulties in the number of caregivers needed, since 266(66.6%[61.0-71.8]) have this possibility, and difficulties in 55(32.1%[25.1-39.6]) adults and older adults that do not carry out educational-therapeutic activities. There are feelings of anxiety, distress, or depression in people with disabilities and their caregivers.
Conclusion: In Argentina, it is possible to comply with the WHO recommendations to avoid exposure to the virus and to be prepared in case of infection. Challenges remain to be solved in terms of accompanying people with disabilities in their physical and mental health. |

El objetivo del trabajo fue conocer si estas consideraciones pueden cumplirse y si existen diferencias en su cumplimiento entre grupos etarios. Método: Estudio descriptivo dirigido a personas con discapacidad de Argentina. Se realizó una encuesta sobre las cuatro recomendaciones de la OMS para esta población en modalidad online, entre los días 28° y 39° del aislamiento social preventivo y obligatorio. El análisis estadístico fue según naturaleza de las variables, para determinar las diferencias entre grupos se usó X2 con corrección de Fisher. Resultados: Se recolectaron 309 encuestas de 18 provincias de Argentina. 230(74,4%[69,1-79,1]) fueron respondidas por cuidadores y 79(25,5%[20,7-30,7]) por personas con discapacidad. Las personas con discapacidad fueron 138(44,7%[39,0-50,4]) niños, niñas y adolescentes y 171(55,3%[49,5-60,9]) adultos y adultos mayores. Las personas con discapacidad pudieron cumplir con las recomendaciones de la OMS en cuanto a disminuir la exposición a COVID-19 y estar preparados en caso de contraerlo. Hubo dificultades en la cantidad de cuidadores necesarios, ya que 266(66,6%[61,0-71,8]) tiene esta posibilidad, y en que 55(32,1%[25,1-39,6]) adultos y adultos mayores no realizan actividades educativas-terapéuticas. Existen sentimientos de ansiedad, angustia o depresión en personas con discapacidad y sus cuidadores. Conclusión: En Argentina se está pudiendo cumplir con las recomendaciones de la OMS para evitar la exposición al virus y estar preparados en caso de contagio. Quedan desafíos por resolver en cuanto al acompañamiento de las personas con discapacidad en su salud física y mental. Introdução: No contexto da pandemia do COVID-19, a OMS publicou considerações sobre pessoas com deficiência. O objetivo do trabalho foi saber se essas considerações podem ser cumpridas e se existem diferenças na sua realização entre as faixas etárias. Método: Estudo descritivo destinado a pessoas com deficiência na Argentina. Foi realizada uma pesquisa sobre as quatro recomendações da OMS para essa população no modo online, entre os dias 28 e 39 de isolamento social preventivo e obrigatório. A análise estatística foi realizada de acordo com a natureza das variáveis, sendo utilizado X2 com correção de Fisher para determinar as diferenças entre os grupos. Resultados: foram coletadas 309 pesquisas de 18 províncias da Argentina. 230(74,4%[69,1-79,1]) foram respondidas por cuidadores e 79(25,5%[20,7-30,7]) por pessoas com deficiência. As pessoas com deficiência eram 138(44,7%[39,0-50,4]) crianças e adolescentes e 171(55,3%[49,5-60,9]) adultos e idosos. As pessoas com deficiência foram capazes de cumprir as recomendações da OMS relativas à redução da exposição ao COVID-19 e estar preparadas em caso de contratá-lo. Houve dificuldades no número de cuidadores necessários, uma vez que 266(66,6%[61,0-71,8]) têm essa possibilidade, e em que 55(32,1%[25,1-39,6]) adultos e idosos não realizam atividades educacional-terapêuticas. Existem sentimentos de ansiedade, angústia ou depressão em pessoas com deficiência e seus cuidadores. Conclusão: Na Argentina, é possível cumprir as recomendações da OMS para evitar a exposição ao vírus e ser preparado em caso de infecção. Ainda há desafios a serem resolvidos em relação ao acompanhamento de pessoas com deficiência em sua saúde física e mental. Universidad Nacional Córdoba. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas.
