Which of the following is an example of psychosocial response to a disability?

  1. Physical rehabilitation

  2. Emotional adjustment

  3. Vocational training

  4. Financial planning

The correct answer is: Emotional adjustment

The psychosocial response to a disability pertains to how an individual emotionally and socially adjusts to their condition. Emotional adjustment encompasses a range of feelings and reactions, such as acceptance, frustration, anxiety, or changed self-identity after experiencing a disability. Understanding this emotional landscape is crucial as it impacts the overall well-being and can shape recovery and adaptation processes. Physical rehabilitation, vocational training, and financial planning primarily focus on tangible, practical aspects of coping with a disability. While these can enhance one’s ability to function and provide essential skills, they do not directly address the emotional and social dimensions experienced by the individual. The emotional adjustment reflects the deeper psychological and relational shifts a person may have to navigate, making it the most applicable example of a psychosocial response.
