Persons living with mobility-related disabilities have moderate QoL and SEf, high self-esteem and severe restriction in SP. QoL, SEf, SE, and SP correlated with one another. The possibility of improving other constructs by targeting one can be explored in disability rehabilitation.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe increasing prevalence of disability presented the need to study four constructs of well-being (Quality of Life, Self-esteem, Self-efficacy and Social participation).The perception of one's status and position in life can be negatively impacted upon by a mobility-related disability.Social participation may improve satisfaction and quality of life, which in turn could lead to better self-esteem and self-efficacy.
