Certificate for the provision of technical means for the rehabilitation of disabled people and injured at work

The article presents the results of a medical-sociological study of behavior in 85 constituent entities of the Russian Federation among the disabled and injured at work. In the course of the study, two groups of respondents were interviewed, randomly selected and comparable in terms of sex and age: 562 persons with disabilities with the cause of disability “common disease” and 442 injured at work. As a result of the questionnaire, information was obtained on the types of HRM received by respondents, problems arising in the process of providing HRM, the level of assistance needed by the respondent in choosing products and their suppliers, as well as assessing the main concerns of respondents associated with the introduction of a new mechanism for providing with the use of a certificate. It has been established that the contingent of industrial victims is more in need of technical means of rehabilitation that compensate for the limitations of the ability to move independently and work, in contrast to the disabled, among whom a significantly greater percentage of people need SMW to compensate for the impairment of the ability to self-service. The rankings of the main problems associated with the provision of TCP in both groups coincide. More than half of the respondents expect an improvement in the system of providing technical support in the event of an electronic certificate.
