Description

This study examined nurse educators attitudes toward people with disabilities (PWD) identifying multidimensionality and model perspective and the influence of personal and professional experience. Results indicted that nursing education approaches toward disability were generally positive, but suggested a need for adoption of the biopsychosocial view of disability and increased use of evidence-based education. This study is of value to persons concerned with the wellness of people with disabilities.
