Methods: Potential studies were identified through search of electronic bibliographic databases. Outcome studies were chosen for initial review if the study (1) involved a randomized controlled trial, a quasi-experimental, or a preexperimental design, (2) appeared in the English language, (3) was published in a scholarly journal, and (4) was published before April, 2011. Applying these criteria, the search yielded 6762 studies, six of which were retained for review. Results: Current evidence with which to evaluate the effects of Internet use on well-being of adults with physical disabilities is sparse. Three of the studies found positive associations between Internet use and measures of well-being, while the remaining three studies found no statistically significant differences in well-being related to Internet use. Conclusions: Based upon the studies reviewed, conclusive statements regarding the presence or absence of these relationships are unfounded and premature. Positive relationships detected between Internet and well-being within samples of individuals with physical disabilities, however, do warrant further attention of researchers and indicate a need for studies employing heightened methodological rigor. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
