الأمن النفسي والاجتماعي لذوي الإعاقة " دراسة ميدانية على عينة من طلبة الجامعات الليبية "

Abstract

     The research aims to study the level of psychological and social security among students with disabilities in Libyan universities. It also seeks to identify differences in the levels of psychological and social security based on the type of disability, age, and gender. The sample consisted of 30 students with disabilities (physical, auditory, visual) from three Libyan universities (Benghazi University, Libyan Academy in Janzour, and the American University in Benghazi).

The descriptive analytical method was used to explore the relationships between variables and provide a comprehensive description of the levels of psychological and social security among disabled students. Data was collected using an electronic questionnaire consisting of three sections: personal information, psychological security measurement, and social security measurement. Data analysis was conducted using statistical methods, including simple frequency tables, Cronbach's Alpha, t-tests, and ANOVA tests.

The research reached the following key findings:

·         Psychological Security: Younger age groups (18-22 years) reported higher levels of psychological security compared to older groups (23-27 years). Females exhibited higher levels of psychological security than males.

·         Social Security: No significant differences were found between males and females or between different age groups in terms of social security levels. Additionally, the type of disability had no major impact on social security.

·         The most significant challenge faced by disabled students was difficulty in mobility, affecting 73.3% of the sample.

The research provided several recommendations:

·         Improving infrastructure to facilitate the mobility of individuals with disabilities.

·         Providing psychological and social support programs, particularly for males and older age groups.

·         Enhancing community awareness to reduce social discrimination against individuals with disabilities.

·         Developing specialized services for individuals with physical and visual disabilities.
