简要总结
To improve secondary school students' positive attitudes towards older adults with physical disabilities via a Promoting an incLUsive Society towards older adults with physical disabilities through disability simulation education (PLUS) project.
详细描述
A pretest-posttest and qualitative study design will be adopted. 1,000 junior secondary students will be recruited from six secondary schools in Hong Kong by convenience sampling to participate in a 3-day PLUS Convention. Changes in students' attitudes towards older adults with physical disabilities and satisfaction with life, and their satisfaction with the disability simulation experience will be assessed. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted with students, facilitators, teachers, and older adults with physical disabilities to gain further feedback.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in the participants' attitudes towards older adults with physical disabilities
时间窗: Change from baseline to immediately after completion of the intervention (2 months)
The 47-item Students' Attitudes toward People with a Disability Scale will be used. It was developed locally in the Baseline Survey of Students' Attitudes towards People with a Disability, a study conducted by the Equal Opportunities Commission in Hong Kong. It encompasses four attitude sub-scales, namely social acceptance, behavioural misconceptions, pessimism-hopelessness, and optimism-human rights. Participants will rate their agreement with each item on a 4-point Likert scale (1 = "Strongly agree" - 4 = "Strongly disagree"). The four attitude sub-scale scores will then be converted along a scale between 1-100. A higher score will indicate a more positive attitude towards people with a disability. All sub-scales had Cronbach's Alpha scores ranging from 0.69 to 0.85, which support their respectable reliability.
次要结局
- Change in the participants' level of life satisfaction(Change from baseline to immediately after completion of the intervention (2 months))
- The participants' level of satisfaction with the disability simulation workshop(Immediately after completion of the disability simulation workshop (within 1 day))
