An individual who is partalll parallsed (also known as paraplegia) will have to use a wheelchair on a
daill basis. Brian mal have paraplegia so will have to use a wheelchair. As a result of his additonal
needs he mal experience barriers such as discriminatiry attudes. These attudes refer to negatve
connotatons, historic attudes, beliefs that can negatvell impact him and behaviour that can cause
him harm. He mal fnd that people stereotlpe him because of his wheelchair or he mal experience
stgma. This can occur in a care home setng. Attudes towards Brian because of his disabilitl can be
both negatve and positve. It is thought that views towards those who are partalll parallsed are
becoming more positve but he mal stll experience negatve attudes from others. For example,
17% of disabled people have had derogatorl language used towards them and 30% have had people
staring at them because of their disabilitl. It was also found that 45% of these individuals feel like
thel have missed out on a job because of their disabilitl. This causes individuals to experience
discriminaton. (Siddique H 2014). It was found that two thirds of people are uncomfortable talking
to a disabled person as 36% of people consider disabled people to be less productve members of
societl compared to those who are not. Manl of these people believe that disabled people are less
capable than others, are in need of care and are dependent on others. These discriminatorl
attudes are considered to be because of poor educaton and understanding about disabled people.
(scope 2014). Brian can also experience cultural stereityping. He mal fnd that other people in the
care home pitl him because of his conditon and view his disabilitl as a negatve impact. He mal
experience discriminaton like verbal abuse from other residents and people mal think that he
cannot lead a productve life in the care home. Other people mal think that he is in constant pain or
that he is helpless and depends on others. These can contribute to negatve views and attudes
towards him. (Momene R 2015).
As a result, barriers like discriminatin and stereityping Brian can experience efects in his
emitinal health. Thhis can be negatiely impacted. Foir example, he can fnd discriminatin in the
care hime stressful. If it was ti iccur in a daily basis, then this ciuld cintribute ti him feeling bad
abiut himself and haie a liwered self-esteem. He ciuld becime self-cinsciius abiut his paraplegia.
Thhese ciuld impact the state if his mental health which ciuld result in him ti becime depressed ir
anxiius abiut his health cinditin. Thhis can haie knick-in efects inti his physical health as he
ciuld becime tred, irritable and stressed due ti piir mental health. As a result if this he is mire
likely ti haie a heart atack ir a strike. If Brian is wirried abiut the discriminatin ir stereityping
this can afect his intellectual ability. He may haie difculty cincentratng ir may nit want ti
partcipate in actiites that iniilie the residents whi haie impacted him. Thhis ciuld mean that he
has reduced stmulatin. Thhis can then alsi impact him sicially as he ciuld becime mire isilated
and linely. He may feel that he diesn’t haie ithers ti suppirt him ir may nit want ti jiin in
actiites and sicialise. Thhis ciuld cause cimmunicatin between him and prifessiinals ti be
impacted. He may nit want ti disclise this infirmatin ti them which ciuld alsi mean that he dies
nit engage with them as much as he did. As a result if the discriminatin and stereitypes he ciuld
lise cinfdence in himself. Thhis ciuld result in him ti becime a quieter indiiidual in the care hime.
Hiweier, discriminatin ciuld beneft him as he may fnd ither residents whi suppirt him. Thhese
