ABSTRACT

Given the conditions under which they live, the Sahrawi refugee population in the Algerian Hamada region are deprived of taking part in social, health, and economic systems, leading to occupational apartheid. This study applied the WHODAS 2.0 questionnaire to a total of 33 Sahrawi people of an average age of 39.3 years, living in different wilayas (large camps), with the purpose of learning about their health status and functioning in the past 30 days concerning cognition, mobility, self-care, social relations, life activities, and community participation. Overall, participants faced difficulties in terms of functioning (WHODAS 2.0), particularly in their daily occupations, and even more so in their social participation. This is explained both by the occupational deprivation and apartheid they have faced for more than 40 years due to their refugee status, and by the sociopolitical factors involved, in addition to their full dependence on humanitarian aid. Accordingly, the environment and context of the Sahrawi population are particularly important in terms of their engagement in occupations.

摘要

考虑到他们的生活条件，阿尔及利亚哈马达地区的撒哈拉难民人口被剥夺了参加社会，卫生和经济体系的机会，导致了种族隔离。本研究应用WHODAS 2.0问卷共为39.3岁，平均年龄33撒哈拉人民，生活在不同的大区（大型营地），目的是了解其在过去30天内的健康状况以及在认知，活动能力，自我保健，社会关系，生活活动和社区参与方面的功能。总体而言，参与者在运作方面（WHODAS 2.0）面临困难，特别是在他们的日常工作中，甚至在他们的社会参与方面也遇到了困难。这是由于他们由于难民身份而面临了40多年的职业剥夺和种族隔离以及除了完全依赖人道主义援助之外还涉及到的社会政治因素。因此，就从事职业而言，撒哈拉人口的环境和背景特别重要。
