Sažetak
Professional rehabilitation of persons with visual impairment (blindness) with the emphasis on the group of newly visually impaired adults is organized in Center Vinko Bek, Zagreb. Adult individuals that have lost their sight due to a war trauma, are oriented to medical treatment and rehabilitation but shouldn’t forget psychological and educational as well as professional rehabilitation. Professional rehabilitation can be defined as vocational training but also as vocational/professional orientation, employment and adaptation to new work place. It is important to emphasis that professional rehabilitation enables blind person engaging in professional activity. Rehabilitation activities should be organized with the respect to capabilities that that person has. The main goal of professional rehabilitation of blind persons should be integration in real work environment. Not only activities of vocational orientation, training or supported adaptation to new work place help reaching integration in real work environment. Specific rehabilitation activities such as O&M (orientation and mobility), ADL (activities of daily living), social skills training should be realized as well. These activities complement and support professional rehabilitation. There are different activities of daily living skills important for sufficient daily functioning. Simple every day activities can become hard and frustrating task for newly blinded person. Training (ADL) that involves activities like dressing, helps newly blinded gaining control over daily routine. All developed skills help inclusion into society and realization of all social functions that person wants to have. This research has been realized on a sample of 21 persons – newly blinded war invalids, average age 34. Participants in this research have different level of education (28% elementary school, 72% high school). All participants have been included in activities of specific rehabilitation (100%), and only 38% have been involved in activities of professional rehabilitation. The survey instrument used in this study was a List for ADL assessment. One of the hypothesis in this larger survey stated that there should be correlation between level skills of dressing and professional rehabilitation. Results will show how professional rehabilitation of newly blind influences different activities of dressing.
