Published: December 2024

Sonar image object detection is an important part of underwater exploration, submarine rescue, hostile object reconnaissance, and other critical maritime tasks. Accurate and efficient detection of objects in sonar imagery plays a key role in ensuring operational success in these domains. The breakthrough of deep learning-related technologies has brought new opportunities for the development of sonar image object detection. By leveraging advanced machine learning techniques, researchers have developed systems capable of achieving higher accuracy and robustness compared to traditional detection methods. However, despite these advancements, the relevant systematic research and practical applications remain insufficiently explored. Traditional approaches often struggle with challenges such as noise, low resolution, and the dynamic underwater environment, which limit their effectiveness. In contrast, deep learning models, with their data-driven advantages, have demonstrated significant potential in overcoming these challenges by learning robust feature representations from large-scale datasets. To address these gaps, a sonar image object detection system is designed to meet the requirements of accuracy, speed, portability, extensibility, and deployment adaptability in real-world scenarios. The system architecture is modular, consisting of three interdependent subsystems: dataset generation, algorithm model training and testing, and model deployment. The dataset generation subsystem ensures high-quality annotated sonar data, which is critical for effective model training. The training and testing subsystem incorporates state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms to optimize detection performance. Finally, the deployment subsystem focuses on translating the trained models into practical applications, ensuring they meet operational requirements under diverse environmental conditions. The system has been applied to underwater suspicious object detection tasks, addressing a range of scenarios requiring precise identification and localization of targets. The experimental results demonstrate that the object detection system achieves reliable and accurate performance, providing good test data and exhibiting excellent application outcomes. This work contributes to advancing the field of sonar image object detection, paving the way for future innovations in underwater exploration and related disciplines.

Reversing Demoralization Linked to School Bullying
Authors: Inesia-Forde Angelina
Published: December 2024

There have been 417 gun violence in schools since Columbine. In these shootings, more than 383,000 students were killed. At the time of the event, most offenders of school mass shootings were targets of school bullying, experiencing a mental health crisis, and a history of depression. Effective interventions and support that could help prevent or reduce school bullying incidents require understanding the process of demoralization and empowering social change. This paper is part of an original constructivist grounded theory study on democratic social change in America explored through a post hoc polytheoretical framework comprised of Foucauldian, Bourdieuan, and Marxist power. It aims to answer the question: In which areas would the democratic social change grounded theory resonate the most? Of significance was the finding of a novel framework from which to understand and assess how students unknowingly use power strategies that could lead to the demoralization of targets of bullying who lack adequate coping skills and meaningful support and an empowering social change process that could counter demoralization and lead to security. More research is needed on bully-involved demoralization and specific interventions that lead to positive and sustainable social change.
The Shadow Side of Musical Composition: A Study of Library Music in Portuguese Academic Circles
Authors: GOMES-RIBEIRO PAULA , MALHADO ANDRÉ
Published: December 2024

Despite being an international and powerful branch of the music and audiovisual industries, library music has limited symbolic capital. In conservatories, academies, and higher schools, the very idea of functional, commercially oriented music composition is consigned to oblivion, as if this practice did not exist. Music students in academic contexts are strongly encouraged to pursue what is classified as art, classical, or vanguard music. This article discusses the relationship between specific academic Portuguese music circles and the practice, teaching, and learning of library music. Our main question is: why, in the digital era, do the canons of music teaching still exclude practices such as library music? This research uses qualitative data collected from a group of respondents in the context of multi-method research. Respondents are music and musicology students, teachers and professionals in Portugal, all of whom have advanced practical and/or theoretical musical training.

(BBC)
, Downton Abbey
(ITV), and
Panorama
(BBC), and he has contributed title and incidental music to programmes such as
Travel Man: 48 Hours In …
(Channel 4) and
Upstart Crow
(BBC). Mottram began his career as an orchestrator working on films including
Chaplin, Shirley Valentine,
and
Rain Man,
and soon moved into the world of advertising, writing music for brands including Pizza Hut, Tetley, and Hitachi. Mottram has also written concert music for ensembles including the Swingle Singers and the Dunedin Consort.

The role of the inflammatory protein Pentraxin 3 as a biomarker in patients with ischemic heart disease
Authors: Hristov D.
Published: December 2024

Atherosclerosis is a generalised process with a long latent period. Its manifestations in the context of ischemic heart disease are acute coronary syndrome and chronic coronary syndrome. Vascular inflammation is an integral part of the development and complications of atherosclerosis. Although primary and secondary prevention of ischemic heart disease has received much attention in clinical practice, the role of vascular inflammation remains incompletely understood and studied. Pentraxin 3 is an inflammatory biomarker that has the potential to be used for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in cardiology due to its local secretion from the vascular endothelium with peak values in the setting of acute coronary syndrome within 6-8 hours from symptom onset. The aim of this review is to examine the available evidence in the literature for its use in patients with ischemic heart disease.
Echocardiography in acute pulmonary embolism – what do we have?
Authors: Bayraktarova I.
Published: December 2024

Pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) related mortality worldwide is decreasing due to current therapeutic advances. However, PE remains the third leading cause of death in developed countries and its incidence is increasing. Timely diagnosis and appropriate therapeutic measures are extremely important in clinical practice. Echocardiography (EchoCG) remains a preferred imaging technique at the bedside for both primary diagnosis and individual patient risk determination, and provides invaluable information regarding general hemodynamics in emergency situations. The development of the methodology in recent years adds new parameters to the classic image of the patient with PE. In this review, modern approaches for risk stratification of patients with PE by means of echocardiography and the role of echocardiography in the diagnosis of the disease are considered.

Authors: Fan You-Ci , Su Yo , Lin Chien-Hsiang , Chang Chih-Wei , Lin Hsiu-Chin
Published: December 2024

A new species of beardfish, genus Polymixia, is described based on three specimens collected in Taiwanese waters and off the Chesterfield Islands of New Caledonia. It can be distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: dorsal-fin rays IV–V, 35–37; gill rakers on outer face of first gill arch 3+1+6=10; scales row between dorsal-fin origin and lateral line vertically 6–8 (S1) and posteriorly 12–14 (S2); pyloric caeca 40; snout rounded, with its surface rough and gelatinous, its tip evidently protrude anterior margin of premaxilla; ctenii on body scales arranged in a wedge-shape, forming three rows; 4th anal-fin spine long, 1.0%–1.2% eye diameter; longer dorsal-fin, 49.6–53.0% SL; blackish oral-branchial cavity. Our maximum-likelihood tree based on mitochondrial COI sequences revealed that the new species is distinct from six congeneric species. Our findings indicate the presence of at least six Polymixia species in Taiwan, highlighting Taiwan and adjacent areas as a region with the highest diversity of this genus.
A review of the genus Pempheris (Teleostei, Pempheridae) found in Japan and Taiwan
Authors: Koeda Keita , Bessho-Uehara Manabu
Published: December 2024

Species of the genus Pempheris Cuvier, 1829 (Pempheridae) from Japan and Taiwan are taxonomically reviewed based on morphology supported by molecular phylogenetic analysis. Ten species are recognized from these countries: Pempheris adusta Bleeker, 1855, Pempheris familia Koeda & Motomura, 2017, Pempheris japonica Döderlein, 1883, Pempheris nyctereutes Jordan & Evermann, 1902, Pempheris oualensis Cuvier, 1831, Pempheris sasakii Jordan & Hubbs, 1925, Pempheris schwenkii Bleeker, 1877, Pempheris ufuagari Koeda, Yoshino & Tachihara, 2013, Pempheris vanicolensis Cuvier, 1831, Pempheris xanthoptera Tominaga, 1963. Nine of them are distributed in Japan, and five of them in Taiwan. Pempheris sasakii and P. xanthoptera, nominal species that have been regarded as invalid are revalidated, redescribed with diagnoses based on examinations of the holotypes and the specimens collected from Japan. Pempheris sasakii is morphologically similar to P. nyctereutes and has been thought to be a senior synonym of the latter, but the comparison of the holotypes and non-types of both species revealed that the former species is distinguishable from the latter species in having fewer counts of body scales, also genetically supported with a 3.1% mitochondrial DNA sequence divergence. Pempheris xanthoptera is similar to P. schwenkii, but the coloration of their caudal fins is different, and the genetic analysis supported the difference. The distributions of all species of the genus Pempheris in Japanese waters are also described, based on the specimen localities from literature and new material herein.

Adult learning within reach: the WEA as a social justice charity
Authors: Parkinson Simon
Published: December 2024

The Workers’ Educational Association (WEA) has supported adult learning for over 120 years. Participating in adult learning brings a range of benefits for individuals and communities. These go much wider than solely education benefits and include better health, increased participation
in community activities, and increased confidence and critical thinking, but are not always recognised and rewarded within the funding system. If organisations such as the WEA were better recognised as charities with a social justice mission then their impact could be greater still. National
and regional policymakers are encouraged to recognise adult learning as a more integral part of strategies tackling inequality and building stronger communities.

Student-Authored Multiple-Choice Questions: An Innovative Response to Competency-Based Education
Authors: Pawlow Patricia C. , Griffith Patricia B.
Published: December 2024

Background

The shift to competency-based education inspired reflection on using multiple-choice questions (MCQs) to develop and assess student competency. Student-authored MCQs in other fields demonstrate a higher level of knowledge; however, a gap examining the use of this teaching methodology in nurse practitioner education exists.

Method

Nurse practitioner students created MCQs addressing content objectives. Faculty reviewed each MCQ's accuracy; students integrated feedback and revised questions. Finalized MCQs were posted in a question bank for examination preparation.

Results

The question bank contained 112 questions covering 32 topics. Students demonstrated increasing success on these questions in subsequent examinations. Questions sometimes revealed content misunderstanding, which faculty addressed and clarified. Student surveys revealed interest in assignment integration in all courses.

Conclusion

This assignment has progressed to a group project, and a competency-based rubric, mapped to the level 2 American Association of Colleges of Nursing's
The Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education
, was added. Using student-authored MCQs is a novel method to develop “knows how” competencies.

De La Mettrie à Sénèque : la politique de la « parole du fond du tombeau » dans l’Essai sur la vie de Sénèque de Diderot
Authors: Sugino Shun
Published: December 2024

Dans l’Essai sur la vie de Sénèque Diderot, une phrase célèbre affirme : « On ne pense, on ne parle avec force que du fond de son tombeau : c’est là qu’il faut se placer, c’est de là qu’il faut s’adresser aux hommes. » Cette citation suit un passage critiquant vivement l’Anti-Sénèque de La Mettrie, présenté comme un philosophe corrompu, par opposition avec l’idéal du philosophe bravant la mort représenté par Sénèque ou par Diogène, qui affrontent « avec force » le pouvoir souverain. Cet article propose d’analyser le concept de « parole du fond du tombeau » dans le cadre du projet apologétique de l’Essai. En esquissant deux modèles distincts du philosophe dans l’arène politique, Diderot crée une communauté imaginaire autour de la figure de Sénèque qui prononce « la parole du fond de son tombeau », engageant ainsi les lecteurs et sa propre postérité. Diderot lui-même, en filigrane, se projette parlant du fond de son propre tombeau.
Diderot face à « l’usage du théâtre »
Authors: Buffat Marc
Published: December 2024

L’invention du drame par Diderot implique une critique du théâtre existant. Celui-ci est condamné, non parce qu’il s’écarte du naturel, mais parce qu’il le censure. Ainsi l’émotion et le corps sensibles sont interdits sur scène, laissant la place au seul corps-machine de comédiens « de bois ». D’autre part l’exiguïté des théâtres interdit que l’on montre des actions simultanées qui seules peuvent porter l’effet du spectacle à son comble. Il y a là un irréalisme du spectacle théâtral qui fait son invraisemblance et contrevient aux deux fondements de la poétique selon Diderot en ces année 50 : l’illusion et l’identification du spectateur aux personnages victimes. Enfin, outre qu’ils produisent des spectacles sans effet sur leurs spectateurs, les codes alors en vigueur de l’écriture et de la représentation dramatiques constituent autant de préjugés et la théorie du nouveau théâtre, en les critiquant au nom de la nature et de la raison, participe du combat des Lumières.
Cadrage historiographique et transposition du travail d’enquête : une négociation entre des didacticiens et un enseignant d’histoire
Authors: Doussot Sylvain , Gomes Lucie
Published: December 2024

Cet article prend pour objet les rapports entre développement des compétences critiques historiennes des élèves et apprentissage de savoirs scientifiques sur le passé, du point de vue de l’enseignant avec lequel s’élaborent des expérimentations de séquences pour la recherche. Ces rapports sont à l’origine d’un problème professionnel important pour les enseignants, pour qui la faiblesse des connaissances des élèves tend à empêcher le travail des compétences critiques. Le cadre théorique de l’apprentissage par problématisation dans lequel s’inscrivent les expérimentations qui sous-tendent l’article ouvre la voie à une reconstruction de ce problème d’ignorance des élèves par le biais du concept d’obstacle épistémologique qui met au cœur de l’activité de classe le savoir déjà-là des élèves, issu de leurs expériences du monde social. Sur cette base, la réticence manifestée par l’enseignant à l’occasion d’une des séquences expérimentales constitue un événement pertinent pour interpréter les conditions du passage d’une visée encyclopédique du contexte à la contextualisation historienne scolaire. Cette interprétation menée dans l’article repose sur l’analyse des échanges entre chercheurs et enseignant à propos des productions (orales et écrites) des élèves, sur le cas d’une séquence sur la Révolution française.
Des mères face à la « continuité pédagogique » en France et en Suisse au printemps 2020
Authors: Barbier Pascal , Le Goff Jean-Marie , Landour Julie
Published: December 2024

Cet article propose une analyse de l’expérience du travail scolaire confiné durant le printemps 2020 chez des mères françaises et suisses interviewées entre fin 2020 et début 2021. En se centrant sur les principales exécutantes de la « continuité pédagogique » au sein des foyers, il documente les variations des réactions, plus ou moins inquiètes, face à la prise en charge de l’école à la maison. Sont ainsi analysées les déclinaisons sociales de la réception par les mères de la « continuité pédagogique », montrant la fragilité globale des classes populaires et les ressorts variés du sentiment de compétence exprimé au sein des classes moyennes et supérieures. L’article appréhende également les variations nationales de ce vécu en suggérant que ces dernières se fondent sur des politiques publiques d’emploi et éducatives différenciées.
Du merveilleux spirituel dans l’œuvre de Sylvie Germain
Authors: Boblet Marie-Hélène
Published: December 2024

Conteuse anachronique de fables qui déjouent les codes et les principes du réalisme, Sylvie Germain appartient à la famille d’un Barbey ou d’un Bernanos : son œuvre confirme la prophétie malrucienne d’un XXIe siècle « spirituel ». Ses romans accueillent la puissance du mystère et le tourment de la foi ; ils interrogent l’inexplicable lien entre le visible et l’invisible, l’immense et l’infime, le charnel et le spirituel, le sublimis et l’humilis. Les transports de l’imagination, ici, ne se réduisent pas à quelques fantaisies ludiques : ils illustrent la puissance spéculative de la fiction.
Représentations fantastiques du hors-temps
Authors: Thoizet Évelyne
Published: December 2024

Dans ses romans, Sylvie Germain ouvre parfois la temporalité de ses personnages sur un hors-temps qui n’est au sens strict ni représentable, ni concevable et qui est l’équivalent temporel du hors-champ spatial. C’est cette expérience sensible et mystérieuse de l’extratemporalité qu’il s’agit de définir et d’interroger : le hors-temps apparaît comme fantastique au sens où il manifeste un réel non médiatisé, un instant d’éternité en rupture avec le temps humain configuré dans le récit. Bien que ce moment hors du temps soit ressenti comme une évidence par les personnages de Sylvie Germain, il reste inexplicable.
L’esprit incarnat ou le transit générationnel

Published: December 2024

« Et le verbe s’est fait chair » : on examine, dans cet article, comment cette antienne traverse l’œuvre de Sylvie Germain, comment l’esprit transite de génération en génération et imprime sa marque dans les chairs successives. On explore le concept d’incarnation, et la façon dont il se distingue de la carnation ou s’oppose à « l’excarnation ». On se penche sur la place du verbe dans la dynamique de l’incarnation et le mouvement de la présence à soi et au monde.

Hors champ est pris pour exemple de la manière dont l’écrivain effectue une analyse du « rapport à l’autre ». La relation d’amour du héros est à sens unique. Si l’autre, son amie, fait intrusion dans sa vie psychique c’est par son absence, devenant pesante, négative, désagréable. Le héros se sent effacé par celle qu’il aime. Un passage, une sorte de lettre ouverte à l’adresse du lecteur, reprend ce trouble avec l’autre en s’adressant à un lecteur qui devient l’intrus pour l’écrivain, celui-ci ne sachant plus si le lecteur ne va pas le trahir et fermer le livre précisément à cet instant. La méfiance et le doute s’installent à propos de l’emprise d’une œuvre sur l’imaginaire du lecteur et, inversement, du lecteur sur l’écrivain. On se demande si la personne imaginaire n’influencerait pas plus la réalité qu’on ne le croit. Se pose la question de ce qui est apparence ou réalité, la vérité de soi-même et le rôle de l’autre pour soi. À l’aide d’une réflexion phénoménologique et psychanalytique, on voit comment l’interrogation porte sur l’autre – qui est inévitable en soi –, comment on peut être soi avec cet autre, et heureux.
Maîtriser et se maîtriser. Saisir la masculinité électroniste dominante
Authors: Laurent-Camena Alice
Published: December 2024

Fondé sur une enquête ethnographique auprès d’artistes de musiques électroniques exerçant principalement en France, cet article s’intéresse aux masculinités qui traversent ce monde de l’art. Dans la foulée de travaux dédiés aux rapports de genre dans cet univers et à partir du cadre théorique des masculinity studies, nous proposons de saisir la pluralité des masculinités mises en jeu chez les artistes électronistes et d’en identifier la modalité socialement valorisée, soit la masculinité électroniste dominante. Nous n’abordons pas celle-ci comme une identité mais comme un idéal, le plus souvent non formulé, qui se réalise par des pratiques routinières et vers lequel les individus tentent diversement et de manière plus ou moins coûteuse de tendre. La masculinité électroniste dominante se construit en opposition à la féminité, mais aussi à certaines formes dévaluées de masculinités, principalement marquées dans notre cas en termes de classe sociale et d’âge. Particulièrement, elle s’incarne dans des pratiques appréhendées en termes de maîtrise et à distance de la virilité : maîtriser ses outils, la foule et son corps sur scène ; se maîtriser dans l’espace festif, au regard des sociabilités en présence, mais aussi s’agissant des pratiques hétérosexuelles, dans un contexte de diffusion de normes égalitaires et d’idées féministes au travail.
Indie : politique et esthétique organisationnelles d’un genre de musique populaire
Authors: Hesmondhalgh David
Published: December 2024

Cet article s’intéresse aux relations complexes entre politiques organisationnelles et esthétique dans les formes contestataires de culture populaire. L’indie est un genre contemporain dont les racines s’inscrivent dans la remise en cause par le punk de l’industrie des musiques populaires. Mais au cours des années 1990, ce genre s’est fondu dans la pop mainstream britannique. L’article étudiera le cas de deux « indépendants » importants, Creation et One Little Indian, dont il analysera les pratiques organisationnelles et esthétiques afin d’aborder deux questions étroitement liées. Premièrement, quelles sont les forces qui poussent les maisons de disques indépendantes « alternatives » vers des pratiques de professionnalisation et de partenariat/collaboration avec les grandes maisons de disques ? Deuxièmement, quelles sont les conséquences, d’un point de vue organisationnel, politique et esthétique de cette professionnalisation et de ces partenariats ? En réponse à la première question, l’article soutient que cette pression à se professionnaliser et à nouer des partenariats ne peut pas être comprise uniquement comme un abandon des positions idéalistes défendues auparavant (qui ferait de ces acteurs des « vendus ») et que les accords avec des majors ne sont pas nécessairement, en tant que tels, des sources de compromission esthétique. Face à la seconde question, l’article affirme que la collaboration avec les grandes maisons de disque suppose certes, de la part des maisons de disques indépendantes alternatives, un renoncement à une forme d’autonomie ; mais que les points de vue attribuant des conséquences néfastes sur le plan esthétique à de tels arrangements problématiques entre entités commerciales sont également biaisés.
The Crisis of English Local Governance During the Covid-19 Pandemic: The Breakdown of Central Control
Authors: Diamond Patrick , Laffin Martin
Published: December 2024

The UK’s policy response to the Covid-19 pandemic reveals the problems that arise in a highly centralised polity where the executive faces few countervailing political pressures. Westminster is a power-hoarding political system despite two decades of devolution. Intergovernmental relations (IGR) mechanisms of coordination and conflict resolution have struggled to cope with the realities of a severely asymmetric devolution settlement, as was glaringly apparent during the Covid crisis. Ministers in central government resisted pressure from the three UK devolved nations and English city-region mayors to rebalance UK and English IGR mechanisms. Even at the centre, the UK’s policy response illustrates that the UK core executive is often unable to govern strategically, coordinating services across entrenched departmental and multi-level boundaries despite government ministers enjoying a largely unchecked capacity to initiate policies, programmes and major departmental reorganisations with significant IGR implications. This central response exposes how over the last three decades the UK government, as the “English” central government, has strengthened its control of local government through financial oversight and outsourcing of services to the non-state sector.

Consumidores Engajados: O Papel da Comunicação de Marketing na Redução da Intenção de Boicote
Authors: Castro Jacson , Araújo Elisabeth Thaiane Tercino de , Tonelli Dany Flávio , Inácio Raoni de Oliveira
Published: December 2024

O Marketing Relacionado a Causas (MRC) é uma estratégia que integra objetivos comerciais com responsabilidade social, alinhando empresas a causas sociais. Este estudo qualitativo exploratório investigou a relação entre o comportamento de boicote e duas perspectivas do MRC: o consumidor alinhado à causa e a comunicação de marketing. Utilizando grupos focais e simulações com 13 mulheres, a pesquisa revelou que consumidores engajados com causas sociais são mais propensos a analisar criticamente as ações de MRC, demonstrando ceticismo quando percebem falta de autenticidade ou transparência. A comunicação de marketing emergiu como elemento crucial na aceitação das campanhas de MRC, podendo tanto minimizar quanto impulsionar boicotes. Os resultados indicam que uma comunicação transparente, autêntica e alinhada com os valores do público-alvo é fundamental para o sucesso das iniciativas de MRC e para construir relações positivas com os stakeholders. O estudo contribui para a compreensão do fenômeno complexo do boicote no contexto do MRC, oferecendo insights valiosos para a gestão organizacional e para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de marketing mais eficazes e socialmente responsáveis.

Randomized control clinical trial to assess the effect of meditation on selected clinical outcomes in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Authors: Vithanage Kumarangie , Dissanayake Dilshani , Chang Thashi
Published: December 2024

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons, leading to both motor and non-motor symptoms. Although dopaminergic therapy is the current goldstandard therapy in symptomatic management, it does not alter disease progression. Meditation, a complementary therapy, has shown promise in alleviating motor symptoms and improving neuroplasticity, but evidence on its effects on non-motor symptoms remains inconclusive. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) is designed to evaluate the impact of a meditation-based intervention on both motor and non-motor symptoms in patients with PD.Methods: This open-label, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial will be conducted at the National Hospital of Sri Lanka, a tertiary care center. Eligible participants, diagnosed with PD and classified in Hoehn and Yahr stages I–III, will be randomized into two groups: a meditation intervention group and a waitlisted control group receiving usual care. The intervention will include an 8-week meditation program with guided weekly sessions. Outcomes will be assessed using various scales: motor symptoms (SPES/SCOPA-Motor), non-motor symptoms (SENS-PD), cognitive function (RBANS), quality of life (PDQ-39), and gait performance (TUG test). Additionally, nerve conduction studies will evaluate peripheral motor nerve function.Discussion: This study aims to provide evidence on the effects of meditation on motor and non-motor symptoms in PD, which could support the integration of meditation into PD management protocols. The trial will explore the potential neuroplastic changes and improvements in quality of life mediated by meditation, providing further insights into non-pharmacological treatment options for PD patients.

Published: December 2024

Background: Early rehabilitation interventions can significantly mitigate the effects of disabilities in children as they grow older. However, families of children with disabilities (CWDs) in resource-deprived settings face limited opportunities to access rehabilitation services for their children resulting in largely unmet rehabilitation needs.Aim: This study assessed knowledge of families of CWDs on rehabilitation services and accessibility to services for their children.Setting: The study was carried out in the selected districts in the Upper West Region, Ghana.Methods: Families that knew about rehabilitation services and acknowledged their child’s need for one were the subjects of this cross-sectional, quantitative study, using a researcher-administered questionnaire. STATA software was utilised for analysis.Results: Over half of the participants, 113 (54.85%), attempted to access rehabilitation services for their children, but only 31 (27.18%) were successful. The barriers to access included financial problems (n = 197 [95.63%]), shyness (n = 167 [81.07%]), transportation issues (n = 155 [75.24%]), community discouragement (n = 145 [70.39%]) and the attitudes of healthcare providers (n = 145 [70.39%]). Among those who accessed rehabilitation services, over half reported dissatisfaction with travel distance and associated costs (n = 18 [58.06%]), as well as travel time and wait time for services (n = 15 [48.39%]). Participants with no formal education (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 0.22; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.07, 0.59) and those who agreed that negative attitudes from health personnel were a barrier to access (AOR = 0.08, 95% CI: 0.00–1.01) were less likely to access rehabilitation services for their children.Conclusion: The low access to rehabilitation services suggests that many CWDs may miss relevant rehabilitation services that could improve their health outcomes and functioning. Policy interventions are required to facilitate families’ access to rehabilitation services for their children.Contribution: This study contributes to the literature on rehabilitation care in Ghana and provides a foundation for further research in rehabilitation care in the Upper West Region, as it is the first of its kind conducted in the region.
